Topic: Apache virtualhost setup

[hero789]

Hi
I am running xampp from a memory stick. I need to create a virtualhost running from localhost. I have previously set up apache virtualhosts on linux about two years ago. On xampp there is no etc/hosts file. The only virtualhost i can get to work is
code]
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "J:/xampp/htdocs/project/website"
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
[/code]

which as you can see if very simple. If i try and deviate changing ServerName to localhosts with an s it wont work. I would like to create a virtualhost www.ituk.com. But this is not working. Any help would be appreciated, I have set up virtualhosts before on an earlier version of apache, but I have never set up apache virtualhosts on a memory stick.

Hi Thanks for your reply

I got apache to work.

I now have another question. I have the url working www.itconsul.com which is my test url. This is served by apache. I however want to have my homepage displayed under this url. In order to do so I have to enter the url www.itconsul.com/homepage.htm. Anyone know how to make www.itconsul.com direct to homepage.htm so that my homepage is displayed.
