Hi,

You can use the servername of your site as a dummy domain on the workstation running the WAMP server and also inside the LAN if you add the IP address and the servername to the hosts file \windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts. On the workstation running WAMP the IP address is 127.0.0.1 and on other workstations in the LAN it is the IP address of the workstation running WAMP.

The format of the entry in hosts is therefore:

127.0.0.1 mywebsitename

- or

192.168.1.1 mywebsitename

If the domain name is found in the hosts file, it gets resolved before a request to the DNS service is made.

If you want to understand the above errors, either you take a course in Operating System and Process or visit the web link: Error log documentation at [httpd.apache.org]

Thanks for your reply, but how can I make apache running??

I want to know that is there any other way of creating a virtual host in wampserver i.e un-commenting the virtual host in httpd.conf, is there any other thing else to be done to make a virtual server ??
