Because there is no any on the Apache server named wp_brochure_site. All your applications are found on the main host localhost or 127.0.0.1.

If you would like to access http://wp_brochure_site you have to do two things:

  1. Create virtual host with this name.

  2. Add a record in the file that points wp_brochure_site to 127.0.0.1

    as creating a point "127.0.0.1 wp_brochure_site" inside C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts isnt good ideea! you shoul use yes localhost/ wp_brochure_site or 127.0.0.1/wp_brochure_site istread to edit that file how other do wrong as well ! –  Jan 06 '18 at 16:51
  • Yes but with creation of the virtual host. – SaidbakR Jan 06 '18 at 16:53

    yes but in some cases you can get security issues ! doing that edit on hosts will work well but will be an exploit and a security issue! that's the point! –  Jan 06 '18 at 16:54
  • @darsheelrathore it is better and worth to deal with each project as separate virtual host. However, if still you want that, you may edit the listing links of your projects. – SaidbakR Jan 06 '18 at 16:55

  • @Constantin Its not a bad idea! You can still keep your AV or Windows security on the HOSTS file, just allow yourself access while you amend it and then replace the security!! – RiggsFolly Jan 07 '18 at 17:30
  • well ther are manny websites are provide web servers solutions (manny are windows based) but ,not surely if is true , all i know /all i sow is only APACHEFRIENDS.ORG are completely sincere and they said the truth: you should use xampp for developing reason only and not in production. sharing your ip is insecure. i don't remember were they said ,i am very agree with that! also sharing in network in hosts file a local ip that haven't network limitation on the output(firewal,...bla bla) will expose that ip to hackers's scanners=and you should avoid that !!! ..and many others reasons –  Jan 07 '18 at 17:39
