where did you install Apache?

my understanding is that virtual domains need to be mapped to folders  
below server root - usually subdirectories of htdocs.

so if C:/apache/htdocs is where your documents are normally

then

     DocumentRoot C:/testapache/taxomita.dev/

should be

     DocumentRoot C:/apache/htdocs/taxomita.dev/

Looks a little weird to see the server accessing the filesystem above its  
root directory is my first thought.

need more information about your installation to be sure.
