title: Problems in installing Laravel at localhost
body: <p>I am trying to install PHP-Laravel in Windows 8 and I am using Xamp server(localhost). I am following <a href="http://daylerees.com/2012/03/25/laravel-getting-started/" rel="nofollow">Installing Laravel</a> guide.
  According to this guide I am making  virtual host using following code :</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt;
   DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/TssApp/public"
   ServerName TssApp
    &lt;Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/TssApp/public"&gt;
      Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
      AllowOverride all
     &lt;/Directory&gt;
  &lt;/VirtualHost&gt; 
  
  //Where "C:/xampp/htdocs/TssApp/public" is path of Laravel public folder
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and I have also added following line in in etc/hosts</p>
  
  <pre><code>  127.0.0.2             TssApp 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>After doing necessary steps mentioned in this tutorial  when I type <strong><em>"http://TssApp"</em></strong> , it always redirect to <strong><em>"http://tssapp/xampp/"</em></strong> instead of Laravel Home page. I don't know if I am missing any thing. </p>
  
  <p><strong>Note:</strong> I can access laravel home page at <strong>"http://localhost/tssapp/public/"</strong> but want 
  to use <strong><em>"http://TssApp"</em></strong> link to access my application.</p>
  
  <p>Please help me regarding this issue.
  Thanks .</p>
