I have IIS installed on my windows 7 which uses default port 80 and can be accessed at http://localhost. Now I have installed XAMPP as well and set the port 8081, so I can access it at http://localhost:8081.

Now, I want to add virtual host only for the xampp so that I can access it via http://test/ instead of http://localhost:8081. I dont want to make any changes in IIS address and want to keep its address same. For that purpose, I have added virtual host in my xampp/apache/conf/extra/httpd-conf file ie.,

NameVirtualHost *:8081
<VirtualHost *:8081>
    ServerAdmin admin@localhost.com
    DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs"
    ServerName test
    ServerAlias test
</VirtualHost>

I have restarted the apache but still can not access the address http://test. Am I missing something or doing something wrong?

    You have made XAMPP listen on Port 8081 rather thank 80 meaning that

    http://test/

    needs to be

    http://test:8081/

    Without a port number in a URL you are just referring to the default port (I.e. port 80 for http)

    Update:
    This is actually possible, however IIS and Apache (XAMPP) need to use different IP addresses and only bind to port 80 on there own IP address.

    If you can’t touch IIS then the only alternative would be to use a proxy script to show a site on IIS which would proxy to 8081.
