WampServer

I know in IIS you only need to go to the administrative tools and IIS then create the folder. But how can you create a virtual directory on WAMP. Am I really limited on creating directory on the WWW root directory? or are there any other ways?

No, heeeeeaps of other ways..

First of all, have a look at how the virtual hosts for apache work.
[httpd.apache.org] (older documentation but essentially the gist of it)

then try the following.

insure the following line is located at the end of your httpd.conf file

Include "C:/wamp/apache2/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf"

Then goto that file and put in something similar to the code below.
note, this is assuming you have the required folders located under c:/wamp/www/*something*

personally I use c:/wamp/www/docs/domainname.com/
to house the files.

heres an example config:
----------

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot C:/wamp/www/docs/domainname.com/
ServerName domainname.com
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot C:/wamp/www/docs/someotherwebsite.org/
ServerName someotherwebsite.org
</VirtualHost>

-----------
(obviously these can be changed depending on your actual domains.)

Make sure to void those dummy example vh or your web server (wamp) would NOT start, and you must have this line before those vh dir in httpd-vhosts.conf

NameVirtualHost *:80
