I want to show the website using domain name internal and external

Answer 1

Ok so lets assume your domain is called mysite.com and you also need a testing version of the site, lets say mysite.dev
You have used Apache 2.2 syntax so I assume you are using a version of Apache that is 2.2.x, however if you are using Apache 2.4.x see below for correct syntax
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www"
ServerName localhost
<Directory "C:/wamp/www">
AllowOverride All
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from localhost
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
# This is for accessing a development version of the site
# note: only accessible from this machine
<VirtualHost *:80> <-- change
DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www/mysite.test"
ServerName mysite.dev
<Directory "C:/wamp/www/mysite.test">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks <-- moved
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from localhost 127.0.0.1 ::1
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
#New Virtual Host for your real domain name
#accessible from the internet
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www/mysite.com"
ServerName mysite.com
ServerAlias www.mysite.com
<Directory "C:/wamp/www/mysite.com">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
If you are using Apache 2.4.x then the syntax should be chabged like so :-
#NameVirtualHost *:80 <- not required in apache 2.4
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www"
ServerName localhost
<Directory "C:/wamp/www">
AllowOverride All
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
# This is for accessing a development version of the site
# note: only accessible from this machine and stored in different folder
<VirtualHost *:80> <-- change
DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www/mysite.test"
ServerName example.dev
<Directory "C:/wamp/www/mysite.test">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks <-- moved
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
#New Virtual Host for your real domain name
#accessible from the internet
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www/mysite.com"
ServerName mysite.com
ServerAlias www.mysite.com
<Directory "C:/wamp/www/mysite.com">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
You will need to add the mysite.dev site to the windows HOSTS file c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts but NOT the live domain name
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 mysite.dev
::1 localhost
::1 mysite.dev
