XAMPP virtualhost site with all configs not working

I am trying to run site my.com locally on XAMPP's apache server. Here my configurations in httpd-vhosts.conf file in the path ...\XAMPP\apache\conf\extra:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "D:/IDEs/XAMPP/htdocs"
    ServerName localhost
    <Directory "D:/IDEs/XAMPP/htdocs">
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "D:/IDEs/Websites/my.com"
    ServerName my.com
    <Directory "D:/IDEs/Websites/my.com">
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Also, I remembered to add two lines in the hosts file, with is located in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc:

127.0.0.1   localhost
127.0.0.1   my.com

However, when I enter via link 'my.com' with enabled apache server, I've got only page with folder directories, which are in htdocs XAMPP's folder.

I have checked a lot of videos and stackoverflow questions, but nothing helped. I would be pleased if you could help me with solving this issue.

After five days-night of reading, searching, trying, I finnally fould the solution and done it in some steps:

First of all, forget about every file, and concentrate on the httpd-ssl.conf which is located in D:\IDEs\XAMPP\apache\conf\extra.

Second: find the line "SSL Virtual Host Context" which has been commented. And below, find the line <VirtualHost _default_:443>.or simmilar. Then change it to <VirtualHost *:443>.

Third, change document root to the path of xampp's htdocs, for example, "D:/XAMPP/htdocs". Also, change ServerName from www.example.com:443 or similar, to localhost. Here we done.

And Finally, after line </VirtualHost>, insert code 

<VirtualHost *:443>
        DocumentRoot "D:/IDEs/Websites/my.com"
        ServerName my.com
    <Directory "D:/IDEs/Websites/my.com">
            Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Change Document Root and Directory paths to your website location. And Servername to your server name.

RESTART APACHE

it works for me.

I also understood than some website uses SSL on localhost while the others not. SO if you have exception like Apache/2.4.37 (Win32) OpenSSL/1.0.2p PHP/7.0.33 Server at my.com Port 443 you shold add your virtualhost configs into httpd-ssl.conf file. If you got like ... Port 80 add yourl virtualhost configs into httpd-vhosts.conf

first you should arrange directories on httpd.conf

example:

    <Directory "C:/SERVER~1/web/site1">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews ExecCGI
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>
<Directory "C:/SERVER~1/web/site2">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews ExecCGI
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

and then arrange vhosts.conf like this

example :

NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName www.site1.com
    DocumentRoot "C:/SERVER~1/web/site1"
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName site1.com
    DocumentRoot "C:/SERVER~1/web/site1"
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName www.site2.com
    DocumentRoot "C:/SERVER~1/web/site2"
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName site2.com
    DocumentRoot "C:/SERVER~1/web/site2"
</VirtualHost>
