I tried several methods and hints shown above but I continue to have the same problem.
ONLY the first web site defined in httpd.conf loads while I am running multiple sites.

Can anyone help please?

my vhost.conf file reads:

ServerName webzone4
DocumentRoot Z:\xampp\htdocs

IndexOptions +FancyIndexing NameWidth=*
Options Includes FollowSymLinks Indexes
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

ServerName bobbyorr
DocumentRoot Z:\xampp\htdocs

IndexOptions +FancyIndexing NameWidth=*
Options Includes FollowSymLinks Indexes
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

my hosts file reads:

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 webzone4.com
127.0.0.1 bobbyorr.net

one side note to the other readers. For me, it was defaulting to the first virtual host defined, like the user from comment #48.

What I found that worked was changing it to port 80 instead of just “*”

So in the example above, where he does a directory declaration, instead of “VirtualHost *” put “VirtualHost *:80″

Also, above all of these, place “NameVirtualHost *:80″ in there.

this worked for me.

I have tried EVERYTHING written in all the above posts and read the guide about three times and still I am getting the same problem as everyone else i.e. only the first web site defined in httpd.conf loads if you are running multiple sites. I’ve addded NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1 as suggested and set up everything else as suggested and it still refuses to work and always serves up the first web site. Help!

HOSTS FILE

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 local.example1.co.uk
127.0.0.1 local.example2.co.uk
127.0.0.1 local.example3.co.uk
127.0.0.1 local.example4.co.uk

HTTPD CONF

Include “c:/wamp/alias/*”

NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1

Please remember to add the following lines to the httpd.conf file for the virtualhost to work.
