xampp: after virtual host configuration, why redirecting to IIS home - Ahmed Haroon - 07-05-2022

i am using XAMPP to create php projects on a port 8088 which is running fine. but when i configured to use Virtual Host instead of localhost:8088 now it is redirecting me to IIS home page, i tried another ports but the behavior is same. please note, i am not using IIS Server on this development machine.
the below line unremarkd in httpd.conf file
# Virtual hosts
Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

my file entry in: httpd-vhosts.conf

Code:
<VirtualHost *:8088>

    ServerName taskapp.localhost

    DocumentRoot "D:\xampp\htdocs\taskapp\public"

    <Directory "D:\xampp\htdocs\taskapp\public">

        Require all granted

        AllowOverride All

    </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

any idea, what can be the issue? how to resolve it?

regards

You need to be logged in as Administrator.

Edit hosts file with NotePad
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

IP4 Server Name
127.0.0.1 ci4.local

thank you @InsiteFX
also i was searching on net for this problem, somebody informed that use Laragon to have virtual hosts automatically created for you. i will give it a try.
please advice for it and if anything i have to care about using Laragon.
