A very easy step you need to follow if you would like to set up virtual domain if you are using xampp.

Step 1:-
Make sure xampp is installed
Step 2:-
Go to

C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra

This is my path Go to C:\worldgyan\apache\conf\extra(depends on where xampp is installed)
Step 3:-
Search file name httpd-vhosts.conf
so now the path is Go to

C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

Step 4:-
In httpd-vhosts.conf copy following code

                ServerAdmin [email protected]
                DocumentRoot "C:/worldgyan/htdocs"
                ServerName dev.worldgyan.com
                #ErrorLog "logs/dev.worldgyan.com-error.log"
                #CustomLog "logs/dev.worldgyan.com-access.log"

example:-

Step 5:-
Replace above "dev.worldgyan.com" to your domain
Step 6:-
At xampp level every thing fine

hosts and edit at last

               127.0.0.1       dev.worldgyan.com
