Apache disable localhost redirection

Question

i got a problem with apache conf with Laragon.

so the case is :

i got 2 subdomain subdom1.mysite.com (DNS Record to IP 1.2.3.4) subdom2.mysite.com (DNS Record to IP 1.2.3.4) IP 1.2.3.4 is my VPS

everything went well, but i got a problem. when i access 'localhost' from my VPS, it keeps redirecting to subdom1.mysite.com and localhost/phpMyAdmin also redirected to subdom1.mysite.com/phpMyAdmin

here's my httpd.conf

Define APACHE_LOG_DIR "C:/mydir/logs"
Define APACHE_ROOT_WEB_DIR "C:/mydir/wwwroot"

ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot "C:/mydir/wwwroot"

<Directory "C:/mydir/wwwroot">
    Options Indexes MultiViews
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName subdom1.mysite.com
    ServerAlias subdom1.mysite.com
    DocumentRoot  ${APACHE_ROOT_WEB_DIR}\subdom1.mysite.com

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/subdom1.mysite.com-error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/subdom1.mysite.com-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName subdom2.mysite.com
    ServerAlias subdom2.mysite.com
    DocumentRoot ${APACHE_ROOT_WEB_DIR}\subdom2.mysite.com

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/subdom2.mysite.com-error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/subdom2.mysite.com-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

my localhost keeps redirecting to first vHost. I've googled lot's of combination of directory, serverName etc. But no luck.

Your VirtualHosts are binding to all available interfaces. Because of how apache determines to which VHost should route a request, it's ending up in the first one defined.

You can either:

Bind your subdomains to the external ip only.
Create a VirtualHost for the main server using the loopback ip.
Create a VirtualHost with the _default_ address.
