Simple Apache setup for local development

Posted on November 10, 2009 by zzz_zwp

When setting this up on Linux make sure to restart your browser after editing the /etc/hosts file. This was the case with Firefox anyway.

What if you want to test your example.dev in internet exploder on your windows computer? Simply edit c:system32driversetchosts by adding a line with your development server’s IP address and “example.dev” or whatever you named your virtual host entry.

192.168.1.123 myexamplesite.dev

Then you can enter myexamplesite.dev in your browser and apache will load up the virtual host for myexamplesite.dev

Ta da!
