Now it working accordingly the word "It works!" showed.
1 Apache 1 Webapp with url access : http://localhost/

Now I need to change in such one Apache support multiple webapp.

Example:
When user type url below:
system1.example.com the apache will direct the user to system1 webapp
When user type url below:
system2.example.com the apache will direct the user to system2 webapp

Can you all help me one this by Give me some direct so the task can be completed?

Hi fsloke,
I assume you mean, you want to set up multiple websites on one apache server?
You need to set up 'virtual hosts'; 'name based virtual hosts', probably.
You need to configure httpd.conf to 'include' httpd-vhosts.conf eg uncomment this line in httpd.conf:

#Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

then edit httpd-vhosts.conf. The first <virtual host> in the latter should be the same as your default server settings, then add <virtual host> sections for each additional website.

It's explained here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/

on the page itproxy has posted for you .. take note of the "Main Host Goes Away" section. If you don't, you'll be wondering why it does not work properly. This is where new folks typically trip.
