Virtual Hosts:

<VirtualHost *>
ServerAdmin admin@localhost.com
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs" # change this line with your htdocs folder
ServerName localhost
ServerAlias localhost
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>


Thanks for all the help though

Yes, you can do this. Assuming you are using Apache then you can do something like the following using mod_rewrite in either the server config or per-directory .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =www.example.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^/?foo$ /bar [R=302,L]


This will redirect www.example.com/foo to www.example.com/bar, but it will not do anything with the other domain.

The HTTP_HOST server variable holds the name of the host through which the site has been accessed.

Note also that this is 302 (temporary) redirect. (Temporary redirects should not be cached by the browser so can make testing easier.)
