That was until I actually just sat down and \u00a0thought about what it was I was doing when I needed to set up a new local virtual host. This really isn&#8217;t difficult at all, but there are some file paths that need remembering. These are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hosts &#8211;\u00a0\/private\/etc\/hosts<\/li>\n<li>Httpd.conf &#8211;\u00a0\/Applications\/MAMP\/conf\/apache\/httpd.conf<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Step 1<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Add your chosen domain to your hosts file. Open up Terminal and then type:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"brush: php; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">sudo nano -w \/private\/etc\/hosts<\/pre>\n<p>Then add in the following to the bottom of this file (it doesn&#8217;t really matter if it&#8217;s at the bottom or not, but I generally add new ones to the bottom):<\/p>\n<pre class=\"brush: php; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">127.0.0.1 mydomain.dev<\/pre>\n<p>I like to use the &#8220;.dev&#8221; extension for any &#8216;local&#8217; domains I set up.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Step 2<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Navigate over to the following location in Finder:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"brush: php; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">\/Applications\/MAMP\/conf\/apache\/<\/pre>\n<p>Now open up Httpd.conf in a text editor. You can do this in nano or vi, but I prefer to just use my favourite text editor (Sublime text!).<\/p>\n<p>This is where tutorials on this can vary. You can either include a separate dedicated vhosts conf file into the main httpd.conf, OR you can just add your vhosts to the bottom of the httpd.conf file. It really doesn&#8217;t matter. From an organisational point of view then it&#8217;s probably better to have a separate of concerns and go with the vhosts.conf file (\/extra\/vhosts.conf). If you go this route then make sure you uncomment the vhosts line in your httpd.conf file.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, here&#8217;s what you need to do. Copy a paste this into the bottom of your httpd.conf file (or vhosts.conf file if that&#8217;s what you&#8217;d like to use):<\/p>\n<pre class=\"brush: php; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">\r\n&lt;VirtualHost *:8888&gt;\r\nServerName mydomain.dev\r\nDocumentRoot \/sites\/mydomain\/public_html\/\r\n\r\nDirectory \/sites\/mydomain\/public_html\/&gt;\r\nOptions Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews\r\nAllowOverride All\r\nOrder allow,deny\r\nallow from all\r\n\/Directory&gt;\r\n\/VirtualHost&gt;\r\n<\/pre>\n<div>Make sure your location is correct.
