If you are using XAMPP (in Windows box), the easiest way to add a new website is to create a folder at /xampp/htdocs/ and place all your PHP or HTML files there.
But, I want to make use of the existing codes stored at some other folder in my machine!
Have no worries! Simply follow these steps:
STEP 1: Open httpd-vhosts.conf found at /xampp/apache/conf/extra/.
STEP 2: Append the following lines
# My New Website
Listen *:9000
<VirtualHost *:9000>
ServerName localhost:9000
DocumentRoot "D:/path/to/your/existing/code"
<Directory "D:/path/to/your/existing/code">
AllowOverride All
Options +Indexes
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog logs/error.log
CustomLog logs/access.log common
</VirtualHost>
STEP 3: Save the file.
STEP 4: Restart Apache.
STEP 5: Navigate http://localhost:9000/ and your website should show up! Voila!
NOTES:
(1) 9000 is just some port number, you may use your preferred port number.
(2) the forward slash (/) to indicate path is necessary.

PostgreSQL for Windows Installation Procedure
Postgresql is a free database management system which can be downloaded by Windows users here: http://www.postgresql.org/download/windows
The following are snapshots during my installation:
At this point Postgresql is installed, however, there are a set of tools which are of interest. Thus, i kept the check box ticked before hitting Finish button.
I chose to install MySQL Migration Wizard, Tuning Wizard for PostgreSQL, and phpPgAdmin.
As a means to monitor usage of the product, the creators are requiring each user to register before the tools can be download, installed and enjoyed.
After providing your information, a confirmation email is sent. Registration is complete when the confirmation URL is visited.
To commence download of the tools, the registered email address and password are being asked.
Finally, were down to the last screen. Hit Finish button to terminate the PostgreSQL installation process.
