1.
Configure DNS for each virtual website, as described in your web server documentation.
2.
Open the apache_root/conf/httpd.conf file in a text editor and create virtual hosts, as necessary.
For more information, see your Apache documentation. For example:

and the directory that contains the httpd.conf file, as
the following example shows:
cf_root/runtime/bin/wsconfig.exe -ws apache
-dir "c:\program files\apache group\apache2\conf"
-cfwebroot cf_root/wwwroot -coldfusion -v
-dir "c:\program files\apache group\apache2\conf"
-cfwebroot cf_root/wwwroot -coldfusion -v
For additional UNIX command-line examples, see
The Web Server Configuration Tool updates the httpd.conf file. For a sample, see
