I can't seem to get my virtual hosts working:

I have an /etc/apache2/users/scottr.conf set up as:

<Directory "/Users/scottr/Sites/">
       Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
       AllowOverride All
       Order allow,deny
       Allow from all
</Directory>

I then have my /etc/apache2/extra/ set up as:

 <VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName localhost
    DocumentRoot "/Users/scottr/Sites/"
 </VirtualHost>

 <VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName whatever
    DocumentRoot "/Users/scottr/Sites/work/whatever/"
 </VirtualHost>

http://localhost works fine, but I can't get http://whatever/ to work at all.

Seems pretty basic.

What am I missing? 

/var/log/apache2/error_log doesn't show any entries if I go to http://whatever/

/etc/apache2/httpd.conf is default:

# User home directories
Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-userdir.conf

# Real-time info on requests and configuration
#Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-info.conf

# Virtual hosts
Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

# Local access to the Apache HTTP Server Manual
Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-manual.conf

# Distributed authoring and versioning (WebDAV)
#Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-dav.conf

# Various default settings
#Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-default.conf

/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-userdir.conf :

Include /private/etc/apache2/users/*.conf

Do you have an entry for whatever in /etc/hosts?

e.g. 

127.0.0.1  whatever

  • Doh! Yes, that's it. So, what does an app, like MAMP do for these? Is that app writing to the host file as well?

  • I'm not familiar with MAMP, but a quick look at the docs doesn't say anything about having to manually add local DNS entries, so I'd guess yes!
