How to add multiple port numbers and multiple web roots in Apache in localhost

Add the following at the end of Apache’s httpd.conf file, which is located in ApacheHomeDirectory/conf/
[code language=”text”]
Listen 88

<VirtualHost *:88>
DocumentRoot "C:\Users/anna/Documents/Sites/test"
</VirtualHost>

<Directory "C:\Users/anna/Documents/Sites/test">
<IfVersion < 2.3 >
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</IfVersion>
<IfVersion >= 2.3>
Require all granted
</IfVersion>
</Directory>
[/code]

Then restart Apache server, if you have an index page in C:\Users/anna/Documents/Sites/test/, type the following in your favorite browser, it should show the index page.

http://localhost:88

If you want to change the localhost:88 to another domain name such as myWeBlog.com, add this line to the hosts file
127.0.0.1 myWeBlog.com
Then, you can access the site from myWeBlog.com:88
