Hi ken,

i do it the old fashioned way.

# add to end of httpd.conf and then restart apache

# Be sure to only have this line once in your configuration
NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80

# This is the configuration for your project
Listen 127.0.0.1:80

Doesn't vhosts.conf have written examples of how to add more virtual hosts? IIRC, there should be. It is also possible to use "Include" directive to add virtual hosts based on files:

Include /path/to/some/files/*.cf or such thing...

The only difference between Apache on Unix and Windows should be the way paths are specified, no?
