Virtual hosts on Mac OS X Leopard with XAMPP

in
Searched words: 
vhost virtual hosts Mac OS X 10.5 Apple Macintosh Leopard virtualhosts

To set this up with xampp on Mac OS X,

vi /Applications/xampp/etc/httpd.conf

And uncomment:

# Virtual hosts
Include /Applications/xampp/etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

For subsequent additions of named hosts to your Apache configuration, start here:
vi /Applications/xampp/etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

Added (following their dummy-host example quite closely)

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    DocumentRoot "/sites/example/htdocs"
    ServerName example.dev
    ServerAlias www.example.dev
    ErrorLog "logs/example.dev-error_log"
    CustomLog "logs/example.dev-access_log" common
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName myagaric_svn.dev
    ServerAlias www.myagaric_svn.dev
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    DocumentRoot "/sites/myagaric_svn/www"
    ErrorLog "logs/myagaric_svn_error.log"
    CustomLog "logs/myagaric_svn_access.log" common
</VirtualHost>

... but some other step is needed for the browser to look there at all, i think. Ah yes, here:
/Users/ben/Documents/Ebony/Web Development/subdomains, multiple domains with virtualhosts.txt
But it's out of date.

In 10.5, the functions typically previously associated with NetInfo Manager have been moved to some Directory nonsense, and the Accounts pane of System Preferences.

But this command still works:

sudo vi /etc/hosts

Added this line:

127.0.0.1       example.dev

Hi Benjamin,

I'm kinda new for Mac, and I want to set a virtual host for my gf Mac.
in the first line
vi /Applications/xampp/etc/httpd.conf
is it run on a terminal?

to open httpd.conf on mac xampp?
and
sudo vi /etc/hosts
is it the same setting for windows to access
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

I hope those commands run on the terminal...

Regards.

Yes

That is run in terminal (and vi opens a text editor) but i'm not sure what, if anything, translates directly to Windows.
