I want to make a virtual host using XAMPP 1.7.7 under Ubuntu 12.04, I followed an instruction to add a line of virtual hostname in /opt/lampp/etc/hosts. But when I search the file, the file does not exists. When I create a new one, it's still not working.

Is virtual hosts configuration has changed in some latest XAMPP versions?

Wild guess: Did you mix up the etc folder in the xamp folder and the one in root (/etc)? – stonedsquirrel Jan 14 at 6:33
Why don't you use standard LAMP stack in Ubuntu, isn't it more convenient and configurable. ? – Vinit Kumar Jan 14 at 8:23
When you downloaded the package, what program did you choose to unpack it? Do you know the folder where the software was unpacked? Are there any files in /opt and /opt/lampp? – qbi Jan 14 at 8:27

The tutorial tells you to edit /etc/hosts and not /opt/lampp/etc/hosts.
