11.17.08 | Setting up a localhost subdomain in OS X Leopard (Made Easy)Hello All, its been a while since I made an update and I am really only posting this because I keep forgetting what files to modify when I go to setup a new localhost subdomain.
So here it is..
Step 1) Setup your new subdomain path as a virtual directory in apache. This file lives at /etc/apache2/other/httpd-vhosts.conf
Add an entry..
DocumentRoot "/wwwroot/yoursubdomainpath/"
ServerName yoursubdomain.localhost
This should immediately follow the virtual host setup for localhost.
Step 2) Add an entry to your hosts file located at /etc/hosts
It probably looks like this to start.
##
# Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
##
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
fe80::1%lo0 localhost
Just add this line to the end of the file.. It is important to know that it is tab delimited not spaces.
127.0.0.1 yoursubdomain.localhost
The only other thing you may need to do if it wasn't already done is uncomment this line in your /etc/apache2/httpd.conf file
Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
It lives around line 461
Thats it! Restart apache and yoursubdomain.local host now works.

I complete understand why they never made another one for Mac, because plainly....IE sucks. Unfortunately us lowly web guys need it for testing... and booting up my PC to debug CSS is really inconvenient.
