Let's configure virtual hosting for the Games and Sports community.

1. Locate host file from your machine and open it in a text editor. It is the same host file which we edited in an earlier section.

2. Now in the host file, add the following line at the end of the file and save:

    127.0.0.1 sports.cignexneighbourhood.com

3. Again, we need to configure Apache configuration for new settings. So please open the httpd.conf file in a text editor. This is the same file which we edited in the previous section.

4. At the end of the file, add the following lines of code:

    <VirtualHost *:80>
      ProxyPreserveHost On
      ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/
      ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/
      ServerName sports.cignexneighbourhood.com
    </VirtualHost>

6. Start the Tomcat server, if it is stopped.
