Dear Danilo,

I setup my virtual host with port 8088. But when I check $_SERVER and found that $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] is still 80. Do you why? or may be MAMP bug?

Regards,
Khanh Tran

Thanks for this easy to follow, updated tutorial. Quick and painless.

Needed to setup virtual hosts bc I needed js to point back to root (mimicking production server), then to a path:

/abc/ijk/images/pic.png

but locally I had my dev sites in different folders, whose root was pointing to localhost.

Thanks again!

I went through your explanation carefully a few times but when trying to access mysite.loc end up in the root of the local webserver at: HD > Library > Webserver > Documents and not Applications > MAMP > htdocs which is where I want to be. Thoughts? Thank you.

Dude. I’ve been trying to do this for sooooo long. Your a lifesaver! For some reason I googled it today again and found your post. I had httpd.conf configured wrong. I had:

NameVirtualHost *

I was only able to get 1 virtual host at a time, and so every time I toggled projects, I would go back in to apache, comment out the project I needed, then go to /etc/hosts and do the same.
I feel like an idiot now. I’ve must of spent a total of 20 hours trying to figure this out. This post really helped me save time.

I’m new to programing and PHP and I have no clue what I’m doing. However, the little knowledge I know when hacking with WordPress and Joomla has lead me to learn how to program. Nevertheless, your knowledge on this websites speaks volumes to me and has helped me greatly.

My first question regards to MAMP and the (MAMP that is on my MacBookPro).

Can I have both running or do I need to pick one?

My second question. I’ve been using MAMP the one I downloaded from the MAMP site and currently have dummy sites in the htdocs. How would I setup those dummy site folders on the (MAMP on my MacBookPro)?

I hope that made since.

Thanks again for sharing your wealth of knowledge!! You are appreciated.

Warm regards

Helloo…
having problem here…

suddenly My Apache server is off, and i dont why.
but, after couple times of testing,
i found out that :
? When i use port 80, the Apache server is suddenly off.
? Its On again, when i change it to 8888.

Back at first, i still can use port 80, do you know what make me can’t use port 80 suddenly?
