How to set virtual host in windows 7:

1: C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf
add below lines:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "C:\xampp\htdocs\l3.2\public"
    ServerName "site.dev"
</VirtualHost>


2: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
add below line:

127.0.0.1       site.dev


How to access localhost websites after creating virtual host:

To get it work please follow these steps:

    in httpd.conf in C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.22\conf\httpd.conf find entry: #Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf and uncomment it

    in httpd-vhost.conf add two configurations One for project you need to have virtual host set For example:

    <VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin pimcore.test
    DocumentRoot "C:\wamp\www\pimcore-latest"
    ServerName pimcore.test
    ErrorLog "logs/pimcore.test.log"
    CustomLog "logs/pimcore.test.log" common
    </VirtualHost>

Now You need to set another virtualhost, just to have local host working like before setting first virtual host, so put following (also in httpd-vhost.conf)

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin localhost.admin
    DocumentRoot "C:\wamp\www"
    ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>

- Also You need to have following entries in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts:

127.0.0.1 localhost

127.0.0.1 pimcore.test

of course these will vary depends of Your virtual server names.
