Hi i need to setup a virtual host on my system. i am running xampp and saved following code in httpd.conf ,
added "127.0.0.1 zendblog.localhost"
and restarted apache but it is not working.

Code:

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

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "c:/xampp/htdocs/zendblog/public"
    ServerName zendblog.localhost
</VirtualHost>

in address bar i am writing zendblog.localhost

what i am doing wrong in the setup?
please advise
thanks

I do something like the following. It's not currently set up, but in my old Apache config I see I did the following:

Code:

NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
   DocumentRoot "C:\wamp\www\TalkPHP"
   ServerName talkphp.localhost
</VirtualHost>

Don't forget to restart Apache once modified.

Thanks. in the mean time i was also searching for help on internet and found this link.
Name Based Virtual Host Guide

i was not using NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1 directive which is must if name based virtual hosts are needed.

thanks for your help.
