configuring development machine

[tchboy]

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.

thanka

Where is your test website located?

[tchboy]

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.
