I have XAMPP installed and working with Wordpress on my company Intranet however I would like to streamline the URL for the users. I'd like for them to type http://bsd and have it resolve to the Wordpress installation without typing in anything else. I've tried changing/adding a Virtual Host in the appropriate "conf" file with no luck, I still have to type http://bsd/wordpress to resolve to the site. ANy suggestions on how to fix this?
