How to configure MAMP on OSX to allow for vHosts file and multiple domains

conf.md

1. Open up httpd.conf (/Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf)

2. Uncomment the line under Virtual Hosts:

   Looks like this:

   # Virtual hosts
   #Include /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
   

   Should look like this:

   # Virtual hosts
   Include /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
   

3. Open up http-vhosts.conf (/Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf)

4. Remove all example entries except this NameVirtualHost *:80.

5. Now add the following lines to your file:

   <VirtualHost *:80>
       ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com
       DocumentRoot "/Users/myusername/mysite/"
       ServerName example.com
       ServerAlias example.com *.example.com
   #    You can uncomment the below line if you need to specify where your log file goes
   #    ErrorLog "logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log"
       <Directory "/Users/myusername/mysite/">
           Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes
           AllowOverride All
           Order allow,deny
           Allow from all
       </Directory>
   </VirtualHost>
   

6. You can add as many of the above as you need changing the DocumentRoot, ServerName, ServerAlias and Directory entries accordingly.
