Instructions for using Virtual Hosts with MAMP

# In your /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf file, ensure your Directory settings are as follows:
<Directory "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs">
    Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks  ExecCGI
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

# In your httpd.conf file, add the following at the end of the file to enable/use virtual hosts:

#
# MAMP Virtual Hosts
#
NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost _default_:80>
	DocumentRoot "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs"
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
	ServerName localhost
	DocumentRoot "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs"
	ErrorLog /MAMP/logs/localhost_error.log
	LogLevel warn
	<Directory "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs">
		Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks  ExecCGI
		AllowOverride All
		Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
	</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

# Then, for each site (virtual host), you would add a new VirtualHost entry like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
	ServerName local.mywebsite.com
	DocumentRoot "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/mywebsite.com"
	ErrorLog /MAMP/logs/mywebsite.com_error.log
	LogLevel warn
	<Directory "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/mywebsite.com">
		Options Includes FollowSymLinks
		AllowOverride All
		Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
	</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

# Then edit your /etc/hosts file to include your site:
# Add:
127.0.0.1 local.mywebsite.com

# Then restart MAMP.
# If you have MAMP Pro, it will do all of this automatically for you.
