How to develop multiple CI's website on local machine?

[eluser]Alhazred[/eluser]
I'm already developing a website using CI on my PC (Windows), now I should start to develop a 2nd one.
At the moment the 1st website is placed into the XAMPP root, htdocs, and into the hosts file I've put the line
127.0.0.1 www.site1.com
so that I can use what will be the true address on internet.

Is there a way to put both the 1st and the 2nd CI website into 2 subfolders to keep them divided and say to the hosts file: www.site1.com maps to htdocs/site1 and www.site2.com maps to htdocs/site2?

I suppose that I will also have to change something into CI config and htaccess files, isn't it? What?

Yep, create a virtualhost for each site.

Thank you, I've used the virtualhost solution, it works fine
