    ## Configuring Apache for Multi-Port & Multi-Host via httpd-vhosts.conf

    </br>
    In order to have a multi-port configuration for different virtual hosts (projects, websites) on Apache in XAMPP, you need to make changes to the following 3 Apache configuration files and 1 windows host file:
    </br>
    </br>

    **1. httpd.conf** (\XAMPP\apache\conf\)

    **2. httpd-ssl.conf** (\XAMPP\apache\conf\extra\)

    **3. httpd-vhosts.conf** (\XAMPP\apache\conf\extra\) :point_down: _This file_ :point_down:

    **4. Windows 'hosts' file** (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc)

    </br>

    #### :point_right: Target Scenario:
    > ``` Making the above changes to your configuration files, you achieve the following target scenario -
    > 1) Implement 4 named and independent Virtual Hosts
    > 2) Implement 4 different HTTP ports for above Virtual Hosts (8081, 8083, 8085, 8087)
    > 3) Implement 4 different HTTPS ports for above Virtual Hosts (8082, 8084, 8086, 8088)
    > ```

    # Virtual Hosts
    #
    # Required modules: mod_log_config
    # If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on your
    # machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them. Most configurations
    # use only name-based virtual hosts so the server doesn't need to worry about
    # IP addresses. This is indicated by the asterisks in the directives below.
    #
    # Please see the documentation at
    # <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/vhosts/>
    # for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts.
    #
    # You may use the command line option '-S' to verify your virtual host
    # configuration.

    # Use name-based virtual hosting.
