how may i set a domain name to point to many subfolders in xampp? - xampp

Question

Actually I have many sub folders inside htdocs directory each folder contain an index.php file and have a separate action.
How may I set my domain name so it will be pointing to all of these sub folders?
Lets say i have c:\server\ht docs\folder1, c:\server\ht docs\folder2 and so on. I would like my domain name to act like localhost. When typing www.domain name.com/folder1 it will take me to c:\server\folder1 and so on for all of the folders.
I tried with localhost and it works.

Step 1:
Edit the windows "host" file located in
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etcas an administrator.
Add the following line in the host file and save it:
127.0.0.1 www.domain_name.com
Step 2:
Open the "httpd-vhosts.conf" file located in
C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra
Add the below lines and save.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.domain_name.com
ServerAlias www.domain_name.com
DocumentRoot c:/xampp/htdocs
</VirtualHost>
Now restart apache server using XAMPP Control Panel

Answer 2

You can resolve using VirtualHost configure or redirect URL

All the answers about adding domain to xampp subfolders are missing some steps, so I'll add mine which is more or less complete.
If you've changed httpd.conf or httpd-vhosts.conf files, return them to default. Specifically, in httpd.conf make sure your DocumentRoot points to default location, we will instead use vhosts file to point domains to different subfolders each:
DocumentRoot "/opt/lampp/htdocs/"
<Directory "/opt/lampp/htdocs/>
in httpd.conf file (main apache config) find and uncomment:
#Include etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf to: Include etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
in etc/extra/httpd.vhosts file, add your domain and specify its DocumentRoot (That should be one of the folders in htdocs):
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#example.ge
DocumentRoot "/opt/lampp/htdocs/example-landing-testing"
ServerName example.local
ErrorLog "logs/example.testing-error_log"
CustomLog "logs/example.testing-access_log" common
</VirtualHost>
in your system's hosts file, add the following:
127.0.0.1 example.local
restart apache
no need to restart system
Optional: If you're running xampp in WSL, you will also need to modify windows's hosts file to point to WSL's IP:
Open notepad as administrator
Open file: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
In wsl terminal instance, run this handy command to get its IP:
ip addr show eth0 | grep 'inet\b' | awk '{print $2}' | cut -d/ -f1
Add IP to hosts file:
172.20.13.40 example.local
Save, no need to restart system
