Keep localhost hostname and still have virtual host for specific projects

Today I had someone ask me how to setup a virtual host for their laravel project and still keep
their localhost for htdocs folder to do wordpress work.

The Solution we came up with was:

<VirtualHost *:80>
   DocumentRoot /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/virtualhostproject
   ServerName www.virtualhostproject.com

   <Directory /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/virtualhostproject>
      Options All
      AllowOverride All
   </Directory>

<VirtualHost *:80>
   DocumentRoot /Applications/MAMP/htdocs
   ServerName localhost

   <Directory /Applications/MAMP/htdocs>
      Options All
      AllowOverride All
   </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

I thought this was an interesting way to preserve your localhost.

Hope it helps you out.
