WAMP or  XAMPP server lets our sites to browse by using the url:   http ://localhost . For eg:  http ://localhost/mysite . But we may need to test out environments which would require different domains, like http://local.server.com. For this, we need to configure the virtual hosts file of our apache server. These are the steps we need to configure vitual host on windows os: 1. Open vhosts.conf file. Location: xampp/apache/conf/extra 2. Add the following code at the end of the file. <VirtualHost *:80>     DocumentRoot "D:\xampp\htdocs"     ServerName localhost </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost local.server.com:80> <!-- this is the vitual host -->     DocumentRoot "D:\xampp\htdocs"     ServerName local.server.com     <Directory "D:\xampp\htdocs">         Order allow,deny         Allow from all     </Directory> </VirtualHost> 3. Edit the windows hosts file residing at C:/Windows/System32/drivers/
