Add a virtual host to WAMP I get a 403

I am trying to add a Virtual host to my local development envoirment so that I can have changes to the code tested from my workspace.

I followed the instrutions in here
http://jagztalk.com/multiple-virtual-hosts-on-wampserver.html

Essentially I did the following ....

1.I added the following to the http.conf
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.10>
ServerAdmin your@email.com
DocumentRoot C:/hourville/myfiles/
ServerName yourdomain.local
ErrorLog C:/wamp/bin/apache/Apache2.2.11/logs/error.log
TransferLog C:/wamp/bin/apache/Apache2.2.11/logs/access.log
</VirtualHost>
2.
Then added the follwing in the hosts files at
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc

127.0.0.10 yourdomain.local

3.Tried to access it by
http://yourdomain.local/

I get a 403 ...

Why 127.0.0.10? Don't you want 127.0.0.1?
Or try *

Do you have directory index file and settings configured correctly?

i.e
DirectoryIndex index.htm
and place index.htm in C:\hourville\myfiles

does it work if you use the ip address

403 means forbidden. So apache knows where to find the files, it only will not host the files because you have probably not the right allow from/deny from settings on the virtual host directory. So you probably have to add

<Directory "C:/hourville/myfiles/">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
