Example vHost entry

File Locations: * etc/apache2/httpd.conf - main apache config file. * etc/apache2/extra/vhosts-httpd.conf - vhosts config file. * etc/hosts - hosts file.

Once you have enabled virtual hosts in your apache config you will need to add the new hosts. After doing this you must add an entry to your hosts file to redirect traffic to your local server. Here is an example of how it should look:

### Httpd.conf - *uncomment this line to enable __vhosts__*
    # Virtual hosts
    Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

### vHost setup - *note that you will lose localhost when enabling __vhosts__ but you can add it back here*
    <VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName localhost
        ErrorLog "/private/var/log/apache2/error_log"
        CustomLog "/private/var/log/apache2/access_log" common
        DocumentRoot "/Users/lawrencechin/Sites"
            <Directory "/Users/lawrencechin/Sites">
                Options FollowSymlinks Multiviews
                MultiviewsMatch Any
                AllowOverride All
                Require all granted
            </Directory>
    </VirtualHost>
    
    <VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin rattenabend@icloud.com
        DocumentRoot "/Users/lawrencechin/Sites/darkness"
        ServerName darkness.com
        ServerAlias www.darkness.com
        ErrorLog "/private/var/log/apache2/darkness.com-error_log"
        CustomLog "/private/var/log/apache2/darkness.com-access_log" common
            <Directory "/Users/lawrencechin/Sites/darkness">
                Options FollowSymLinks Multiviews
                MultiviewsMatch Any
                AllowOverride All
                Require all granted
            </Directory>    
    </VirtualHost>

### hosts - *add all address and alias’ to this file*

    # localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
    # when the system is booting.  Do not change this entry.
