Apache Friends Support Forum

Hi
First I had been struggling getting apache and php to work and then I found this software and had it working in 20 minutes so a masive thank you!!!!

I am making the change from form application development to web based development and at this moment using xampp to create a test machine. How do I config xampp to see my test website rather than copying files into htdocs folder.

Where is your test website located?

it's on my local machine

Do an advanced forum search for virtualhost or vhost in the XAMPP for Windows English forum as there are many useful working examples - you can use my name Sharley in the author field that may narrow the results for you.
Some search tips:

A vhost will allow you to work on a web site that is not in the htdocs folder and indeed it cam be anywhere on your PC.

Thanks for that I shall have a look can I also have several hosts? one fore each site I am curently working on?

You can have as many vhost containers as you need.

Good luck.
