<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "D:\xampp\htdocs"
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost local.server.com:80> 
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/etc/hosts. Add the following code at the end of the file.
127.0.0.1 local.server.com

4. Save and restart apache server.
