Setting up a virtual host on XAMPP on Mac

Question

I am trying to set up a virtualhost on my apple mac on localhost. The server is provided by XAMPP, which bundles Apache/MySQL/PHP in one bundle.

Here is what I have done

Answer 1

On xampp you need to edit 3 files to setup virtual hosts

the /etc/hosts and /Applications/XAMPP/etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf as you did.

But also you need to edit /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/etc/httpd.conf to include the http-vhosts.conf

make sure you have uncommented this line

# Virtual hosts
Include /Applications/XAMPP/etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

EDIT

Have you tried to add this lines

Order allow,deny
Allow from all

Just before the

AllowOverride All
