Local Host and Virtual Host point to same location

Question

I have recently setup a virtual host on my local web server (per this question, Config problem with Apache 2 on Win 7).

I'm using Apache 2.2 on Win 7, as part of Zend Server.

At the moment, the root of my application's directory is accessible via either the virtual host (http://openco.local), or the local host name (http://localhost). How do I change this so that openco.local continues as is, but localhost points to it's original location (i.e. htdocs)?

Any assistance appreciated!

Answer 1

You should add another virtual host definition before the one for openco.local, as in:

<VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerName localhost
   DocumentRoot /var/www/htdocs
</VirtualHost>

That way open.local ceases to be the default virtual host.
