WampServer

Long story short. I followed this giude [blog.jlbn.net] to set up Vitual Hosts.
It work perfect, but only for one site.

For an example.
In the Windows hosts file i've entered
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 site1.dev
127.0.0.1 site2.dev

And in httpd-vhosts i've entered
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName site1.dev
ServerAlias site1.dev domain
DocumentRoot C:/temp/wamp/www/site1.dev
ErrorLog "C:/temp/wamp/www/site1.dev/logs/error.log"
CustomLog "C:/temp/wamp/www/site1.dev/logs/access.log" common
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName site2.dev
ServerAlias site2.dev domain
DocumentRoot C:/temp/wamp/www/site2.dev
ErrorLog "C:/temp/wamp/www/site2.dev/logs/error.log"
CustomLog "C:/temp/wamp/www/site2.dev/logs/access.log" common
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot C:/temp/wamp/www
ErrorLog "C:/temp/wamp/www/logs/error.log"
CustomLog "C:/temp/wamp/www/logs/access.log" common
</VirtualHost>

The problem is that it does not matter if i type localhost or site2.dev in the browser, i always ends up on site1.dev

Why are you in C:/temp?

C:/wamp/www/ is docroot for the localhost and I see no reason to place your vshosts there. As photographer Fred Picker used to say "Different is not the same, only the same is the same".

I set up mine like below. This method more closely follows that of a live server i.e. files that don't have to be in docroot can instead be in the parent directory. On most nix type servers this would be /home/user_name/, with docroot as /home/user_name/www/ or /home/user_name/public_html/.

For example, I use codeigniter and keep all 'system' and 'application' directories and files in say /home/user_name/system/, /home/user_name/application/. On my local test server this would be C:/wamp/directory_name1/system/, C:/wamp/directory_name1/application/. Only those files that HAVE to be web accessible like images, css, js etc, would be placed within /home/user_name/www/ or C:/wamp/directory_name1/www/. PHP is more than capable of pulling in most resources from above docroot.

LOL! Could it be that i installed Wamp on C:\Temp\Wamp?

I read somewhere not to install wamp on drivr C

Since your using virtual hosts, it would be easier to work on your sites if you change to:
(moving sites to root of drive.)

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName site1.dev
ServerAlias site1.dev domain
DocumentRoot C:/site1.dev
ErrorLog "C:/site1.dev/logs/error.log"
CustomLog "C:/site1.dev/logs/access.log" common
</VirtualHost>


I had some type of problem with the decimal point in the site name. Can't remember what.

Thanks to all who help.
