Opening local website on the Virtual Machine

2011/08/09 Apache, Windows No comments

In case if you have Windows XP (also true for Windows 7) on the VM, open “hosts” file from:

C:\WINXP\system32\drivers\etc

and add following line:

<ip-of-the-local-pc>	devel.localhost

of couse I assume that devel.localhost subdomain is set up. Now you can reach the website hosted on your local machine.

Configuring Apache with two VirtualHosts

2011/07/24 Apache No comments

The begining
Start Apache:

sudo apachectl start

Enabling VirtualHosts
Open httpd.conf file

sudo mate /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

Find the following line:

#Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

and uncomment it. To enable PHP5, find:

#LoadModule php5_module        /opt/local/apache2/modules/libphp5.so

and uncomment it as well.

Adding VirtualHosts

#
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#
NameVirtualHost *:80
 
 
#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for all requests that do not
# match a ServerName or ServerAlias in any <VirtualHost> block.
#
<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /Users/uzza/Development/workspace
    ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
 
<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /Users/uzza/Development/sandbox
    ServerName sandbox
</VirtualHost>

Adding the local hosts
Open hosts file:

sudo mate /etc/hosts

and add following lines:

127.0.0.1	localhost
127.0.0.1	sandbox

The ending
Restart Apache

sudo apachectl restart

and check if you can open

http://localhost
http://sandbox
