Like cakebaker, I setup most of my projects w/ virtual hosts so my site runs locally as close to the live environment as possible; However, as long as you define the paths correctly in webroot/index.php, you can access your app from http://localhost/projectname/app/webroot - I do this when I need to quickly set something up for testing/experimenting. The only thing that gets screwed up when you do this are the image URL's in the skeleton cake.generic.css; I believe they're written from the root in the css file (/path/to/image.jpg) but you need to adjust this since http://localhost/ is your actual web root when accessing your app in this manor - i BELIEVE the fix for this is leaving off the initial root '/', but I don't recall off hand - sounds about right tho. This is a good thing to plan for with your stylesheets anyway, in case you need to move your site to a host w/ a funky directory structure or into a subdirectory or something.

But personally I prefer to have an almost identical environment on my dev machine as on the live server. @Peeter: That should be possible.

mydomain.com/cake/project1

saves you so much time and is lot easier to find and access different projects

I looked at my Apache config file, and there is the following line before the virtual host definitions: NameVirtualHost * @Tim: Thanks, I am glad it was useful for you.

Thanks for the time and effort. After wrestling with the final stage for a couple of hours I managed to get this to work by adding the following just before the virtual host definition: NameVirtualHost localhost:80 ServerName "localhost:80" DocumentRoot "C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs" I would be happy for someone to tell me that there was a better way!!!
