Virtual hosts on Mac OS X Leopard with XAMPP
Key words and phrases
vhost virtual hosts Mac OS X 10.5 Apple Macintosh Leopard virtualhostsTags
Description
To set this up with xampp on Mac OS X,
vi /Applications/xampp/etc/httpd.conf
And uncomment:
# Virtual hosts
Include /Applications/xampp/etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.confFor subsequent additions of named hosts to your Apache configuration, start here:
vi /Applications/xampp/etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
Added (following their dummy-host example quite closely)
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot "/sites/example/htdocs"
ServerName example.dev
ServerAlias www.example.dev
ErrorLog "logs/example.dev-error_log"
CustomLog "logs/example.dev-access_log" common
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName myagaric_svn.dev
ServerAlias www.myagaric_svn.dev
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot "/sites/myagaric_svn/www"
ErrorLog "logs/myagaric_svn_error.log"
CustomLog "logs/myagaric_svn_access.log" common
</VirtualHost>... but some other step is needed for the browser to look there at all, i think. Ah yes, here:
/Users/ben/Documents/Ebony/Web Development/subdomains, multiple domains with virtualhosts.txt
But it's out of date.
In 10.5, the functions typically previously associated with NetInfo Manager have been moved to some Directory nonsense, and the Accounts pane of System Preferences.
But this command still works:
sudo vi /etc/hosts
Added this line:
127.0.0.1 example.dev

Hi Benjamin,
I'm kinda new for Mac, and I want to set a virtual host for my gf Mac.
in the first line
vi /Applications/xampp/etc/httpd.confis it run on a terminal?
to open httpd.conf on mac xampp?
and
sudo vi /etc/hostsis it the same setting for windows to access
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hostsI hope those commands run on the terminal...
Regards.
