The script is intended to -almost :)- automatically add a new vhost on development env, create a new db and the relative /etc/hosts entry. Sample config is for system LAMP stack but it should be easy to config it for use with LAMPP/MAMPP. Usage: $sudo bash newvhost.sh You want firstly to run $sudo bash newvhost.sh -i $vim ~/.vhostrc and set it u…

# .vhostrc is adaptable for LAMPP: just add in your
# /opt/lampp/etc/httpd.conf a section like this:
#
# # Virtual hosts
# Include etc/extra/sites-enabled/*
#
# and create such dir:
