Setting up a virtual host on XAMPP on Mac

Question

I am trying to set up a virtualhost on my apple mac on localhost. The server is provided by XAMPP, which bundles Apache/MySQL/PHP in one bundle.

Here is what I have done

Answer 1

Have you told Apache to actually use name-based virtual hosting?

# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#
NameVirtualHost *:80

I don't believe it's enabled by default in Xampp on Mac.
