i tried using the vhost file (httpd-vhosts.conf) in apache to define different directories for different domain names. i defined it as follow and restarted apache.

no success – when i try to reach http://www.domain.mx it does not take me to the path mentioned in the documentroot.

i made sure the vhost file is included in the httpd.conf file and its module is loaded.

what am i doing wrong?

NameVirtualHost 12.12.65.90:80
NameVirtualHost domain.mx:80
NameVirtualHost www.domain.mx:80

    apparently this is the way to do it (using serverAlias):

    NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@domain.mx
    DocumentRoot "c:/xampp/htdocs/taska"
    DirectoryIndex taska.html
    ServerName domain.mx
    ServerAlias domain.mx
    ErrorLog "logs/domain-errors.log"
    CustomLog "logs/domain.log" combined
</VirtualHost>


<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@domain.com
    DocumentRoot "c:/xampp/htdocs/taska"
    DirectoryIndex taska.html
    ServerName www.domain.mx
    ServerAlias *.domain.mx
    ErrorLog "logs/domain-errors.log"
    CustomLog "logs/domain.log" combined
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@21.11.65.90
    DocumentRoot "c:/xampp/htdocs/"
    ServerName localhost
    ServerAlias 21.11.65.90
    ErrorLog "logs/general-errors.log"
    CustomLog "logs/general.log" combined
</VirtualHost>

<Directory C:/xampp/htdocs/taska>
  Order Deny,Allow
  Allow from all
</Directory>
