Configuring Apache to work on a local network

Hi,

I've installed Apache on Ubuntu server. I want to use it to mod and test two or three WordPress themes, before I pick one and use it on my real website.

These means running several sites on Apache simultaneously. All the tutorials I find online, seem to assume you have local DNS. Their goal is to get you to a point at which Apache can server:

site1.mydomain.home
site2.mydomain.home

I don't have a local DNS set up. I just want to be able to achieve something like this:

192.168.1.10/site1
192.168.1.10/site2

Or whatever the URLs should look like, if I'm just using the server's IP address.

Can anyone tell me how to do this or point me to a tutorial?

Any help or hints much appreciated.

Thanks
