I need help setting up virtual host for Xampp.

I need to set up virtual hosting for my new php file so I don't have to go reconfigure where my Apache points to. If anyone can help me understand why My first virtual host works but not my other ones it would greatly please me.

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin (myemailhere)
    DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/test.php"
    ServerName treehouse.test
    ServerAlias www.treehouse
    ErrorLog "logs/dummy-host3.example.com-error.log"
    CustomLog "logs/dummy-host3.example.com-access.log" common
    <Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/test.php">
        ##AllowOveride all
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

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

  <VirtualHost *>
    DocumentRoot "C:\Documents and Settings\Me\My Documents\clientA\website"
    ServerName clientA.local
  <Directory "C:\Documents and Settings\Me\My Documents\clientA\website">
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>
    DocumentRoot "C:\Documents and Settings\Me\My Documents\clientB\website"
    ServerName clientB.local
  <Directory "C:\Documents and Settings\Me\My Documents\clientB\website">
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

As you can see, you need the NameVirtualHost *, maybe try to remove the :80, I don't know if that the same with unix/linux.

Yea I already have the NameVituralHost thingy at the top. I already have a vitural host and it is running fine but when I copy and change some of the directory roots then it doesn't work. :/
