Does anyone know how to create a fake host name using XAMPP? Usually the site is defined as http://localhost/mydomain/  but I need to do something like this: localhost.mydomain.edu

I am trying to find the file to modify in my XAMPP set up.

    This thread seemed at little confusing as there were errors. I was hoping to find a straightforward solution where nothing was in doubt.

    We'll have to wait and see the response. The fact that he puts localhost in the same address as a TLD is what confuses me.

    Paul, remember, DO NOT add a TLD to your virtual hosts. (TLD = edu, com, net, etc.)
