Here are the steps how to create a name based virtual host

>
-> Click on 'Finish'
>

>

>
Note: After this step a virtual host is created. It does not

virtual hosts
>
-> Click lock & edit

button

Step 5. Create DNS entry in your hosts file.

For linux hosts file is: /etc/hosts Append the following
line to the file as super user.
>
127.0.0.1 myvh.oracle.com
>
Save the changes to 'hosts' file.
>
>
Note: Just saving the changes to 'hosts' file is enough to
activate the DNS entry.
>
>
Step 6. Start the application.
>
Go to Console -> left pane -> wl_server -> deployments ->
>
Right pane:
>
-> Select 'sample.war'.
>
-> click on 'Start'.
>
-> Complete the start process.
>
>
Step 7. Access the virtual hosted application.
>
Now you should be able to access the following url only from
the machine where you modified the 'hosts' file as mentioned
above. http://myvh.oracle.com:7003/sample/
If you want to use access the above url from any machine,
appropriate DNS entries need to be created by your network
administrator in your network Router.
