title: Use localhost domain name FQDN for local web project. Did I need to config my Windows DNS?
body: <p>My local Apache service is running perfectly fine. I am running WAMP.</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to configure my .httpd file so that I can access specific projects as fully qualified domain names like: mysite.com ( but resolves to something like localhost/myfoldername/).</p>
  
  <p>I was able to get it working with a different port number like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>localhost:8080
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And <code>localhost:80</code> is my root web dir.</p>
  
  <p>Here is my current .httpd config:</p>
  
  <p><code>listening: 80</code> (defined higher in the .httpd)</p>
  
  <p>.... below was added to my .httpd</p>
  
  <pre><code>NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:8080
  
  Listen 127.0.0.1:8080
  
  &lt;VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:8080&gt;
  
  ServerName www.jobeet.com
  
  DocumentRoot "C:\wamp\www\symfony\jobeet\web"
    DirectoryIndex index.php
    &lt;Directory "C:\wamp\www\symfony\jobeet\web"&gt;
      AllowOverride All
      Allow from All
    &lt;/Directory&gt;
  
    Alias /sf C:\wamp\www\symfony\jobeet\lib\vendor\symfony-1.4.8\data\web\sf
    &lt;Directory "C:\wamp\www\symfony\jobeet\lib\vendor\symfony-1.4.8\data\web\sf"&gt;
      AllowOverride All
      Allow from All
    &lt;/Directory&gt;
  &lt;/VirtualHost&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And here is my Windows host file config:</p>
  
  <pre><code>127.0.0.1       localhost
  127.0.0.1:8080  www.jobeet.com.localhost
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If anyone has any ideas, please tell me! I've been on this for over 8 hours : ( thx.</p>
