How to add Virtual Hosts to WAMP
October 29, 2014 / by Marco / Categories : WebsitesI’ve done this many times in the past, but for some reason I forgot the actual steps so decided to write them down. Here’s the steps:
1. edit the httpd.conf file located in C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache[version number]\conf
2. Search for Virtual hosts and remove the #
# Virtual hosts
#Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
3. No open the httpd-vhosts.conf file located in C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache[version number]\conf\extra and add the following information replacing businesslegion.com with your own domain name:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin info@businesslegions.com
DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www/businesslegions.com"
ServerName www.businesslegions.com
ServerAlias *.businesslegions.com businesslegions.com
ErrorLog "logs/businesslegions.com-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/businesslegions.com-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>
4. Restart the WAMP service and test. The easiest way to test this is to modify your host file and add:
127.0.0.1 yourdomainname.com
Once you have finished with your testing remember to remove it.
