HOW TO CREATE SECOND/MULTIPLE WEBSITES IN APACHE - VIDEO TUTORIAL

This is a video tutorial showing you how to set up multiple websites on your apache server. You need to first have Apache installed on your computer.

I've used XAMPP to install Apache in this tutorial, so if you're using a direct install from an Apache download, your's may look slightly different. If you want to know more about how this works and a better explanation, please read the beginning of the written tutorial here:

In this video, I refer to pre-configured Vhosts that I copy/paste and that code can be found just below this video.

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot "B:/xampp/htdocs"
<Directory "B:/xampp/htdocs">
Options +Indexes FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
AllowOverride AuthConfig FileInfo

Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

## My First Domain ##

ServerName myfirstdomain.com
ServerAlias www.myfirstdomain.com

</VirtualHost>
