wamp vhost servername redirects to wamp homepage instead of the welcome page of CodeIgniter

I am a newbie in php using the framework codeigniter. I want my servername to be directed to the welcome page of codeigniter. And while setting up the vhost, I had problems in vhost servername. Everytime I access it, it redirects to the wampserver homepage.

I tried configuring it in the httpd-vhost.conf using this:

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
    DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www"
    ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
    DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www/mysite"
ServerName mysite.com

</VirtualHost>

I uncomment the Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf line I also included the domain name in windows host file.

127.0.0.1 mysite.com

But still, every time I access mysite.com, it shows the wampserver homepage instead of the welcome page of codeigniter.

You need to uncomment: 

NameVirtualHost *:80

in httpd-vhosts.conf. Maybe even make it

NameVirtualHost *

Make sure to use FollowSymLinks

<Directory "c:/wamp/www">
    Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

and even make two virtual hosts.. one for domain.com

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName domain.com
    DocumentRoot C:/wamp/www/domain
    ErrorLog C:/wamp/www/domain/logs/error.log
    CustomLog C:/wamp/www/domain/logs/access.log common
<Directory "c:/wamp/www">
        Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

and again for www.domain.com

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName www.domain.com
    ServerAlias www.domain.com
    DocumentRoot C:/wamp/www/domain
    ErrorLog C:/wamp/www/domain/logs/werror.log
    CustomLog C:/wamp/www/domain/logs/waccess.log common
<Directory "c:/wamp/www">
        Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

be sure you've created all the folders for the log files.

And btw I'm not 100% sure all of this will work.
