XAMPP虚拟主机的不同名称

Question

I've set up XAMPP (on Windows 7) to use virtual hosts in a simple manner. localhost:80 points to Apache's htdocs folder, and localhost:81 points to D:\\Projects\\ . This works like a charm.

However, I would like to be able to access my projects folder using not only http://localhost:81/ , but also using http://projects/ . Windows' hosts file doesn't care about ports - how can I achieve this?

Answer 1

This seems relevant to setting up multiple virtual hosts on XAMPP for windows 7 .

I'm not sure using ports is the best approach. You might be better off setting up entirely different domain names to redirect to the correct local directory.
