How do I setup multi sites in Drupal 7 using xampp

Question

I face a problem in multisite with Drupal 7.34. I'm using windows 7 Os. The steps that I followed are:

1. Create a database for all sites : create db of all sites test_db, trial1_db and trial2_db.

2. Install Drupal : I installed the drupal 7.34 as usual and name it test.

3. Tell Windows and Apache about the multiple sites : Open Windows 'hosts' file in a text editor. Which is typically in /system32/drivers/etc/hosts. And add following lines:

                   127.0.0.1 test
                   127.0.0.1 trial1
                   127.0.0.1 trial2

Now in httpd-vhosts.conf file, which is located in c:/xampp/apache/conf/extra. I append these lines at end of the file:

                   NameVirtualHost *:80
                   <VirtualHost *:80>
                     DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs"
                     ServerName localhost
                   </VirtualHost>

                   <VirtualHost *:80>
                     DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/test"
                     ServerName test
                   </VirtualHost>

                  <VirtualHost *:80>
                     DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/test"
                     ServerName trial2
                  </VirtualHost>

                  <VirtualHost *:80>
                     DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/test"
                     ServerName trial3
                  </VirtualHost>

and make sured that these are not commented in httpd.conf.

                LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
                Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

4. Create directories for the sub-sites: Navigate to c:/xampp/htdocs/test/sites and create the directories 'trial1' and 'trial2'. And copy the default-settings.php file to each directory and rename it to settings.php. And also set the permission of these file. I mean these files are not readonly.

5. Install the sub-sites : In an open browser, navigate to http://trial1 or http://trial1/install.php

But here I got "Object Not Found!".

I followed the these links also.

Thanks @Sumit Madan for your suggestion. My issue has been resolved now. I just append these lines in test/sites/default/settings.php:

  $sites['trial1.com'] = 'trial1.com';
  $sites['trial1.localhost'] = 'trial1.com';

  $sites['trial2.com'] = 'trial2.com';
  $sites['trial2.localhost'] = 'trial2.com';
