    <p>Horrible title, I know. </p> <p>I am running Windows 7 with an XAMPP local server with an installation of WordPress. I know this one works correctly, I've used it many times. I have a MySQL database for it and it sits in htdocs/wordpress.</p> <p>Now, I have a contract in which I'm working for someone on another WordPress theme and would like to have this as a separate database and install. So, I make another folder in htdocs, let's call it folder2. I then create another database in MySQL, import the db I was given, and create a user to match the wp-config.php file of this install. No problem, except that it points to "localhost/folder2" and I need it to point to "local.folder2.com" to match the contractor.</p> <p>So I hunt around the web and stumble on VirtualHosts for XAMPP. I go to /System32/drivers/etc/hosts and add the domain. </p> <pre><code>127.0.0.1 localhost ## Already here for XAMPP purposes 127.0.0.1 local.folder2.com ## URL to point localhost/folder2 towards </code></pre> <p>I then go to /xampp/apache/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf and add the necessary Virtual Host. </p> <pre><code>NameVirtualHost *:80 &lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt; DirectoryRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/folder2" ServerName local.folder2.com &lt;/VirtualHost&gt; </code></pre> <p>I restart Apache and MySQL. Problem is, now local.folder2.com works, but "localhost/wordpress/" does not. Using that URL directs me to the theme and db of folder2, baffling me entirely. Any ideas? I realize I can just work on one and not the other, but if I ever have more than one client at a time, switching it all out isn't going to work. </p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
