Common Apache configuration directives on Windows. Also applicable for Linux or Unix with some modifications.

PHP configuration for Apache on Windows

Requires 2 lines in httpd.conf:

LoadModule php5_module "C:/php/php5apache2_2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

Virtual Host

Modify 'hosts' file under C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\

127.0.0.1   foo.bar

Insert once in httpd-vhosts.conf:

NameVirtualHost *:80

# Parent folder containing all virtual host folders/sites
<Directory "C:/Documents and Settings/sanjib/My Documents/vhost">
    DirectoryIndex index.html index.php

    # ExecCGI allows cgi execution
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI 

    # Allow over riding directives for individual virtual hosts through .htaccess
    AllowOverride All 

    # For local machine development, deny from all users except localhost
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from 127.0.0.1

    # Maps .pl files as cgi files
    AddHandler cgi-script .pl
</Directory>

Repeat for each virtual host in httpd-vhosts.conf:

<VirtualHost *:80>
