My issue is I can't get virtual hosts to work on Windows 8.1. I'm trying to develop multiple wordpress websites at a time. I've tried all different methods but every time I think I have everything set all I get is "Oops! Google Chrome could not find site1" or whichever site I'm trying. Port 80 is working fine and I can get my localhost to work fine. I even put a different directory first by accident and when I typed in localhost it went to that directory. But anytime I add a second or more than one directory I get nothing. I took out the # comment in the httpd.conf file. I've tried many different methods in the httpd-vhosts.conf file. I'm at a loss. I have a separate WinXP machine (I know it's old but it works for me now) and it worked for me there very simple. I just can't seem to get it to work for me on my windows 8.1 machine. And I know XAMPP is only developed up to Windows Vista but any help would be appreciated.
Below I have included what's in my hosts file, my httpd-vhosts.conf and some lines from my httpd.conf file. Let me know if you need anything else to help me resolve this issue. Thanks so much.
hosts file

# Copyright (c) 1993-2006 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a ‘#’ symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
# localhost name resolution is handle within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 site1

# Virtual Hosts
#
# Required modules: mod_log_config
# If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on your
# machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them. Most configurations
# use only name-based virtual hosts so the server doesn't need to worry about
# IP addresses. This is indicated by the asterisks in the directives below.
#
# Please see the documentation at
# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/vhosts/>
# for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts.
#
# You may use the command line option '-S' to verify your virtual host
# configuration.
#
# Use name-based virtual hosting.

# match a ##ServerName or ##ServerAlias in any <VirtualHost> block.
