Apache VirtualHost on Mac OSX
note to self:
to set up a virtual host named viho for local web development testing on OSX El Capitan (and probably earlier):
- define an alias name in
/etc/hosts
:
127.0.0.1 localhost viho
::1 localhost viho
- setup the virtual host configuration file
/etc/apache2/other/viho.conf
:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/path/to/where/the/files/are"
ServerName viho
</VirtualHost>
browse to http://viho/ and enjoy.
