Mac Virtualhost follow up

Nov 15, 2006 · 1 minute read

A couple of people asked for the details of the virtualhost script I modified for use with MAMP in a previous post. Apologies for taking a bit of time.

First I had to make these changes to the original virtualhost script:


DOC\_ROOT\_PREFIX="/Applications/MAMP/htdocs"



    APACHE_CONFIG="/Applications/MAMP/conf/apache" 
    APACHECTL="/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/apachectl"

I also made a few changes to httpd.conf in /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache. From memory first to allow local .htaccess files to override everything on a per directory basis.



    <Directory "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs">
    oAllowOverride All
    </Directory>

and then to point to the virtual hosts directory.



    NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1
    Include /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/virtualhosts

I keep meaning to do a screen capture tutorial of sorts, so maybe something like this would be a good starting point? We shall see as and when time permits. Probably this time next year. Any problems let me know and I’ll try and debug.
