Apache Set Up problem

[asprinwizard]

Hi There,

I'm having a problem with my apache setup. Basically I want to run multiple websites from my localhost server so I've set up virtualhosts on my apache conf file and in my windows hosts file. However for some reason I have found that no matter which address I put in the address bar the first website always comes up. Can someone advise me where I'm going wrong?

Here is the hosts file:

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 site1
127.0.0.1 site2
127.0.0.1 site3

Here is the apaache conf file:

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost site1:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/PHP/site1"
ServerName site1
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost site2:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/PHP/site2"
ServerName site2
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost site3:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/PHP/site3"
ServerName site3
</VirtualHost>

I didn't add a virtualhost for localhost but I shouldn't think it should make any difference. I'm not sure if I need the server name and port number in the tag but it I added them because it wasn't working.

If I understand it correctly [site2...] and [site3...] should work. Can anyone help?

Does this help? [httpd.apache.org...]

(Notice the notes about default or primary servers in several of the example cases)

Try this:

NameVirtualHost *:80
#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known
# server name.
#
#####################################################################
#Site1 
<VirtualHost *:80> #Home 
ServerName site1
ServerAlias site1
ServerAlias site1 
DocumentRoot C:\PHP\Site1
</VirtualHost> 
###########################################
#HOST 
<VirtualHost *:80> #Site2   
ServerAdmin [e-mail] 
ServerName site2   
ServerAlias site2 
DocumentRoot C:\PHP\Site2
</VirtualHost> 
#######################
