[Apache] Setting up virtual hosts on Apache for Linux
Doing this by following official documentation is more confusing. 
I looked up many places and tried many combinations and finally foll. worked for me. 
Task: Keep your current apache localhost server alive and add a new site1.local server that has DocumentRoot at /home/vaibhav/mysite
1. Edit /etc/apache2/httpd.conf and add foll lines: 
NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1
   DocumentRoot "/var/www"
   ServerName localhost
   DocumentRoot "/home/vaibhav/mysite"
   ServerName site1.local
2. Next edit /etc/hosts file and add foll line: 
127.0.0.1    site1.local
3. Now restart apache server as : 
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
4. Check out your virtual site as : 
http://site1.local/
