The best way to run multiple local sites with the root url instead of full path is this:

hosts

First, you need to edit your hosts file on the server. This will map the virtual host name to an IP address. To keep this simple, we'll map 127.0.0.1 to mysite. Here's how:

  1. Open Notepad as the administrator.
  2. Open the file C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts.
  3. Add the line: 127.0.0.1 mysite1.dev
  4. Add the line: 127.0.0.1 mysite2.dev
  5. Add the line: 127.0.0.1 mysite3.dev
  6. Save the host file (making sure to not save it as a .txt file).

vhosts

Then, in your httpd-vhosts.conf file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin [email protected]
    DocumentRoot "c:\MYSITE1"
    ServerName mysite1.dev
    ErrorLog "logs/mysite1.log"
    CustomLog "logs/mysite1-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin [email protected]
    DocumentRoot "c:\MYSITE2"
    ServerName mysite2.dev
    ErrorLog "logs/mysite2.log"
    CustomLog "logs/mysite2-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin [email protected]
    DocumentRoot "c:\MYSITE3"
    ServerName mysite3.dev
    ErrorLog "logs/mysite3.log"
    CustomLog "logs/mysite3-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>

Here is a link with very clear instructions - Link to Create Virtual Hosts
