<br><br>ip_of_server domain_name_in_vhost<br><br>there are normally examples in the file such as:<br><br><a href="http://127.0.0.1">127.0.0.1</a> localhost<br><br>not sure exactly where it is on windows - I think it is in
<br>Windows/System32/etc somewhere but you can find it with win explorer.<br><br></blockquote></div><br>Apologies - misunderstood the question. It's c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts<br><br>Then obviously put the name in the ServerAlias directive in the
httpd.conf. You can add multiple entries on the same line separated by a space too, but there is a maximum (255 characters I think).<br><br>eg.<br><br><a href="http://192.168.100.44">192.168.100.44</a> website1 website2 website3
