XAMPP Virtual Host Document Root not working – Apache

So I set a virtual host in my XAMPP 5.6.3. It should point to the document root I set there, but instead it points to htdocs. Why is that? Here is the virtual host setting:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin [email protected]
    DocumentRoot "D:/htdocs/PHP projects/myproject/myproject"
    ServerName myprojectlocaldev.com
    ErrorLog "logs/myprojectlocaldev.com-error.log"
    CustomLog "logs/myprojectlocaldev.com-access.log" common
    SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development"
    <Directory "D:/htdocs/PHP projects/myproject/myproject">
        DirectoryIndex index.php
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

UPDATE

It turns out, the whole Virtual Host didn’t work, not just the DocumentRoot.

    Windows 10 have used port 80 somewhere, so XAMPP should change Apache's port first before it can apply a virtual host.

    There is also another solution. Changing the default 80 port raises a lot of issues. The problem seems to be gone when we create a local SSL certificate.
