Step 15 - Adding another web site (the short version)

1) Go to C:\www where our local web sites live, and create a new site folder: domain-name.com. Inside this folder create two sub-folders: public_html and www_logs.

2) Open up C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf into Notepad.

3) Copy and paste an existing <VirtualHost> entry in the httpd-vhosts.conf file. Go through the new copy, changing the paths to reflect the new folder created in Step 1. The end result will look something like this:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot C:/www/domain-name.com/public_html
    ServerName domain-name.dev
    ServerAlias www.domain-name.dev
    ErrorLog C:/www/domain-name.com/www_logs/error_log.txt
    CustomLog C:/www/domain-name.com/www_logs/access_log.txt common
    php_value error_log "C:/www/domain-name.com/php_error_log.txt"
    <Directory "C:/www/domain-name.com/public_html">
   	AllowOverride All
   	Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
   	Order allow,deny
   	Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

4) Save the file.

5) Using either the Host Administrator program, or the manual method outlined in Step 11, add in two new domain names:

127.0.0.1	domain-name.dev
127.0.0.1	www.domain-name.dev

6) Save the hosts file.

7) Open the Apache Service Monitor from the system tray and click Stop. Wait for the stopped message and then click Start.

8) Your new web site is now running on http://domain-name.dev and http://www.domain-name.dev.
