Setting up Virtual Hosts with XAMPP running on Windows 7

The Steps

1. First I am going to assume you’re using a Windows machine and have XAMPP installed.
2. Open the XAMPP control panel application and stop Apache. Be aware that late Windows machines might run it as a service, so check the box to the left of the Apache module.
3. Navigate to C:/xampp/apache/conf/extra or wherever your XAMPP files are located.
4. Open the file named httpd-vhosts.conf with a text editor.
5. Around line 19 find # NameVirtualHost *:80 and uncomment or remove the hash.
6. At the very bottom of the file paste the following code:
   
   
   

   <VirtualHost *:80>
       DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs"
       ServerName localhost
   </VirtualHost>

   
   
   
   
7. Then after that you can copy this code:
   
   
   

   <VirtualHost *:80>
       ServerName zf2-tutorial.localhost
       DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/zf2-tutorial/public"
       SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development"
       <Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/zf2-tutorial/public">
           DirectoryIndex index.php
           AllowOverride All
           Order allow,deny
           Allow from all
       </Directory>
   </VirtualHost>
