We will learn how to build a domain or a subdomain on our localhost Xampp server for php in today’s article.
We’ll break it down into two parts.
We will register our domain/subdomain with the server in step 1 and build a subdomain in step 2.
Don’t worry, we’re not going to acquire any domains or anything; we’ll do everything on our Windows OS.
So let’s get started by following the instructions below:- :-
Register our domain/subdomain to the server
- Open File Manager using admin
- Go to C drive
- In the C drive go to Windows folder then System32 folder
- After that go to the drivers folder and then etc folder.
Now we have arrived to “C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc” folder
- Open hosts file
If you are unable to edit hosts file then you have to change the permission of the file. To change the permission just follow the below steps
- Right click on the file
- Go to properties
- Go to security
- Click on Edit
- Then in Full control column check the checkbox below allow
- Then click on ok
- Then follow the step 6
- Paste the following code at bottom of the page
Now we will create a Subdomain/Domain
- Navigate to the folder where Xampp is installed.
- Then go to the folder apache
- Then go to the folder conf
- Then go to the folder extra
- Now our folder path will be
“xampp\apache\conf\extra”
- Now open the file httpd-vhosts and past the following code
DocumentRoot “C:\xampp\htdocs\foldername”
ServerName test.local
Now we have successfully created the domain in our system.
The last step is to restart the xampp server and enjoy domain in your pc.
