-Alex- Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 (edited) Well I needed to do this myself so I could replicate some scripts as they would appear on a remote server, so here is how to do it; it is very simple: 1) Open up your terminal 2) sudo pico /etc/hosts 3) Move to the next free line and add: 127.0.0.1 subdomain.localhost 4) Ctrl+o to save, then ctrl+x to exit 5) sudo pico /etc/httpd/httpd.conf 6) Ctrl+w to find: <VirtualHost *:80> 7) Add: NameVirtualHost localhost <VirtualHost localhost:80> ServerName localhost DocumentRoot "/path/to/default/dir/without/subdomain" DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.html index.htm index.shtml </VirtualHost> NameVirtualHost subdomain.localhost <VirtualHost subdomain.localhost:80> ServerName subdomain.localhost DocumentRoot "/path/to/the/dir/that/you/want/to/use/as/your/subdir/" DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.html index.htm index.shtml </VirtualHost> 8) Ctrl+o to save, then ctrl+x to exit 9) Now, restart Apache using: sudo apachectl stop sudo apachectl start For Apache to notice the changes. Done! :D Edited September 8, 2007 by -Alex- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
