If you are like me and work on lots of different sites localy through the day, changing Apache’s path and restarting a can get a little tedious.
Follow these steps to set up subdomains for your local sites.
1. Open httpd.conf found in, for eg, /Applications/Mamp/conf/
Add these lines to the bottom of the file changing the path to your sub domains.
NameVirtualHost *DocumentRoot /Users/WillBarker/Sites/smbu ServerName smbu.localhost DocumentRoot /Users/WillBarker/Sites/recess ServerName recess.localhost
Open up /etc/hosts (its a system file so it is hidden by default in finder, i just open the file in Coda) and add these lines
127.0.0.1 recess.localhost 127.0.0.1 smbu.localhost
Save the file, restart apache, and wamo, you can work on your site at http://recess.localhost
