Hi.
I have WAMP. Can you please let me know how to add in a website by domain name to the config file to have it fire over http//www.example.com?

Also is it possible to point to the root of the webdomain files instead of document root pointing only to var/www?
I would like the config file to point to c:/example folder and any subfolders.

Thank you so much!

What version of Apache is it.

Nevermind, it's 2.4.someting 

If you only have one website on the server you can just change ServerName to your FQDN and point the DocumentRoot to wherever you want. Just remember to change the existing <Directory path/to/someplace> also.

If you want to keep the existing site and add a new one you use VirtualHosts. The first virtualhost should be a minimal config of the main host (in httpd.conf). If the DocumentRoot in httpd.conf is say c:\Apache\htdocs the, first VirtualHost would be;

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot c:/Apache/htdocs
</VirtualHost>

Then you start adding any other sites you want;

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.example.com
DocumentRoot c:/somewhere/else
<Directory c:/somewhere/else>
Options whatever-options-you-want
AllowOverride whatever-overrides-you-want
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
