In this tutorial i’m going to describe how to create virtual host in Laravel in easy way mentioned below.

Virtualhost :- Virtual Host is a hosting multiple domain names on a single server.

Every time running a Laravel project with the command “php artisan serve” may be painful. Virtual hosts in xampp to handle multiple projects because that’s easier than accesing the direct path with the localhost URL.

Please follow some easy steps mentioned below.

first stop your xampp ?

1step-> Go to

C:\xampp\htdocs

ds-admin-ms is my project folder name

ds-admin-ms

2nd step go to

C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra

3rd step Open this file -> httpd-vhosts.conf

4th step Copy below code ??

<VirtualHost *:80>
	DocumentRoot "C:\xampp\htdocs\ds-admin-ms\public"
	ServerName ds-admin-ms
	ServerAlias ds-admin-ms
	<Directory "c:/xampp/htdocs/ds-admin-ms/public">
	Order allow,deny
	Allow from all
	</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Next step go to

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

Open this file -> hosts

Note: Remember to edit the hosts file using an editor with administrator rights, otherwise you won’t be able to save the changes.

Simply copy below code ?

127.0.0.1 		ds-admin-ms
::1
