for my local tests I need different servername with different
documentRoot
so I put this lines in my httpd.conf

NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
DocumentRoot E:/www/newsite
ServerName mynewlocalhost
CustomLog logs/sick-internals common
<Directory "E:/www/newsite">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

but when I put http://mynewlocalhost in my browser I can see
anything...
what's wrong?

thanks!

What's wrong is that your computer is trying to resolve "mynewlocalhost"
through DNS. Your fix will be to add the following line in your "hosts"
file.

127.0.0.1 mynewlocalhost

You are using Windows platform to run your apache, it is better to put
the www.something.com in the VirtualHost directory
<VirtualHost www.something.com>
......
ServerName something.com
</VirtualHost>
