3 easy to setup the virtual host in WAMP.

Step 1 :

Open a file "C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc" and open the "hosts" file.

Then edit.
Before
# Copyright (c) 1993-2006 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host
 
# 127.0.0.1       localhost
# ::1             localhost
# 127.0.0.1       localhost

Now from these remove #

127.0.0.1       localhost
 ::1             localhost
127.0.0.1       mypersonalsite

Step 2:

open folder "C:/wamp/bin/apache/Apache2.2.21/conf/" (your Apache version number may be different)

"Just to mess with your head, there are 2 files - one called "httpd.conf", and one called "httpd.conf.build"

then open file httpd.conf 

then edit

Before

# Virtual hosts
# Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

After

# Virtual hosts
Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

Step 3:
Go to "C:/wamp/bin/apache/Apache2.2.21/conf/extra" and open the file "httpd.vhosts.conf". It should look like this:

#
# Virtual Hosts
#
# If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on your
# machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them. Most configurations
# use only name-based virtual hosts so the server doesn't need to worry about
# IP addresses. This is indicated by the asterisks in the directives below.
#
# Please see the documentation at 
# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/>
# for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts.
#
# You may use the command line option '-S' to verify your virtual host
# configuration.
#
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#
NameVirtualHost *:80
#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for all requests that do not
# match a ServerName or ServerAlias in any <VirtualHost> block.

Now in the last we have to insert the code like this:

<Directory C:/wamp/www>
Order Deny,Allow   
Allow from all 
</Directory>

<VirtualHost *:80>   
DocumentRoot " C:\wamp\www\my_personal_site
ServerName mypersonalsite (name should be the same you have written in host file)
</VirtualHost>

I hope you find it usefull.
