How to configure MAMP on OSX to allow for vHosts file and multiple domains
Raw
conf.md

  1. Open up httpd.conf (/Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf)

  2. Uncomment the line under Virtual Hosts:

    Looks like this:

    # Virtual hosts
#Include /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

    Should look like this:

    # Virtual hosts
Include /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

  3. Open up http-vhosts.conf (/Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf)

  4. Remove all example entries except this NameVirtualHost *:80.

  5. Now add the following lines to your file:

    <VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin [email protected]
    DocumentRoot "/Users/myusername/mysite/"
    ServerName example.com
    ServerAlias example.com *.example.com
#    You can uncomment the below line if you need to specify where your log file goes
#    ErrorLog "logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log"
    <Directory "/Users/myusername/mysite/">
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

  6. You can add as many of the above as you need changing the DocumentRoot, ServerName, ServerAlias and Directory entries accordingly.
