On macOS, another solution is to use the tool virtualhostx to make a Virtual Host to point to your folder. For many hosting services (GoDaddy, 1and1), your web server is being served from a user directory that already uses modrewrite. VirtualHostX8.7.10TNT.zi p (22.04 MB) Choose free or premium download SLOW DOWNLOAD. FAST INSTANT DOWNLOAD. I am a newbie and I set up Mamp and virtualhostx on my IMAC and it works fine except when I restart the server in virtualhostx it tells me multiple servers are running and it could cause conflicts. My connection was interrupted when i was installing virtualhostx vm ( when virtualhostx was downloading ubuntu trusty image), but virtualhostx tell me that the vm was correctly installed, Virtual Machine - destroy won't work, i uninstalled virtualhostx using appcleaner and cleanmymac, and installed it again, nothing change, ater destroying the.

VirtualHostX is the easiest way to host multiple websites on your Mac. It’s the perfect solution for web designers working on more than one project at a time. (Aren’t we all?) No more nesting folders and no more asking the programmer across the cubicle for help.

It has been a while since I posted my guides for setting up a local development environment and how to add SSL to this set-up. This setup, among other things, required the use of a hostname-to-ip-management type of software. My choice was VirtualHostX.

Recent events have brought a new temporary colleague to our workforce and he brought in some fresh blood – so to speak (post in Dutch).

Today I have successfully eliminated the need for VirtualHostX – at least, in my development environment.

Using only the sentiment, the essence as it were, of his post, I have revised my own setup by doing the following. You can safely follow these steps after having setup the environment as described in my posts here and here.

There is one known issue; the SSL certificate generated no longer matches the domain, but who cares, it works :) It’s not like we’re creating a real-world-publicly-reached environment, right?

Reminder; This post is the fourth post in a series to build the “ultimate” setup. See ‘The “Ultimate” Guide …’ for a complete list.

Configuring BIND

1. Fire-up the terminal and switch to super-user mode.
2. Then edit the /etc/named.conf file to add the local zone;
   Add to /etc/named.conf (download file)zone 'local' IN {
type master;
file 'local.zone';
allow-update { none; };
};

3. And create the zone-file:
   File-content for /var/named/local.zone (download file)$TTL 86400
$ORIGIN local.
@ IN SOA localhost. user.domain.com. (
42 ; serial
3H ; refresh
15M ; retry
1W ; expiry
1D ) ; minimum
1D IN NS @
1D IN A 127.0.0.1
* IN A 127.0.0.1
4. Now execute these commands;
   Shell-Scriptrndc-confgen -b 256 -p 54 > /etc/rndc.conf
head -n5 /etc/rndc.conf | tail -n4 > /etc/rndc.key
5. Finally, we need to configure named to start on boot and start it.
   Shell-Scriptlaunchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.isc.named.plist
launchctl start org.isc.named
6. Now we can test the name server should return
   Shell output# nslookup anything.local 127.0.0.1
Server: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1#53
Name: anything.local
Address: 127.0.0.1

If this works as planned, add 127.0.0.1 to your networks DNS tab.

Reconfiguring Apache for the use of Wildcard Virtual Hosts.

IMPORTANT NOTE;

I have discovered that using a virtual document root as described below will cause problems with redirects/rewrites using .htaccess rewrite rules other than the root of the website. See my post on how to overcome this by rebuilding the Apache2 VirtualHost Configuration automatically. If you still want to use a virtual document root, follow instructions that follow now, otherwise, skip the rest.

Edit the file /etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhost.conf (still as SuperUser)

Drivers skydigital. Make it look like this; Calibre.

Please notice the reference to /Development/auto_document_root.php

create a file with this name and place this inside;

This will make sure that the DOCUMENT_ROOT property of the environment is set correctly.

As per hint of Jorijn, check to make sure that the line

is not commented out in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

Final notes

Note that the directory structure is now always: /Development/domain.local/public_html/(your website files here). Need 3 domain-names to the same web-space? use symbolic links!

And with that, I say, Happy coding, thank you Jorijn and as usual; comments, questions, remarks; PLEASE :)

@matthewmorek @jamiebrittain No, but if you get VirtualHostX you can manage most important part of Apache (vhosts) hassle free.

— matthewmorek October 23, 2013

@matthewmorek @fujo Now that we don’t need MAMP, you can just use VirtualHostX after you’ve got Apache, PHP & MySQL configured to set up sites quickly.

— matthewmorek October 23, 2013

@matthewmorek @fujo Dude, if you need a whole MAMP for a single site… It’s an overkill :-) I used MAMP + VirtualHostX for quick configs.

— matthewmorek October 23, 2013

@relequestual @stupler ah. I use virtualhostx, just because it’s simpler! And liftoff is useful for testing payment gateways

— relequestual October 23, 2013

@sperte One reason I still prefer the free version of MAMP with VirtualHostX: http://t.co/iZTWX7m4Su

— sperte October 23, 2013

@stevesydney I have come to the conclusion that the best alternative to MAMP is to use Homebrew to install php and mysql and use VirtualHostX to manage.

@gerbick Customer service like .@clickontyler just gave me for VirtualHost X is why I'll continue to support indie software devs. Thanks!
