I'm trying to set up apache virtual hosts on my local machine. Since my file system is kind of a mess, I have several hosts files hanging around. Is there a way to determine which hosts file my apache installation is using?

Use apachectl -S to determine which virtual hosts (and their location in files) are in your configuration.

  • I guess I'm not explaining myself well enough. I'm looking for the hosts file, not the .conf files.

  • That doesn't really have anything to do with the virtual hosts. /etc/hosts..? Feb 3, 2013 at 7:10
  • nevermind, I think I found it /private/etc/hosts. I had a hosts file manager that was confusing things.

  • Hosts file manager? That certainly could confuse things. Why not use DNS instead? Feb 3, 2013 at 7:18
  • It was an old setup that a friend at work setup for me. Not sure why he chose it.

ps aux | grep catalina

Should show the conf files which are being used by the currently running catalina instance.

  • Is that just for apache Tomcat? I tried the command and didn't get back any info about my hosts file.
