You are correct, my mistake :D

You can, but then you have to define access rules for the directory too, because it is outside of the by default configurated base directory \xampp\htdocs\

so, it can look something like this:

Code: Select all
<VirtualHost *:39393>
    DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs"
    ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:39393>
    DocumentRoot "D:/kim"
    ServerName kim
    <Directory "D:/kim">
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:39393>
    DocumentRoot "D:/tc"
    ServerName tc
    <Directory "D:/tc">
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>


so the urls would be
http://localhost:39393/ for the XAMPP Administration page
http://kim:39393/ for the kim vhost
http://tc:39393/ for the tc vhost

OK, I used the code you suggested and
I got the XAMPP admin page
but
I got this for http://kim:39393/
Server error!
The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there was an error in a CGI script.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

In my test environment this configuration is working correctly so i guess it is a problem with your application.
What is the contents of your Apache error.log file?

My mistake. I missed out the opening tag.
I think all is now working and we can close this case.
Thank you again for all your help.
