Hi all,

 

Found a great guide for setting up virtual hosts (http://guides.jlbn.net/) plus a few other goodies.

 

Problem im having though is that the sever on which i want to install wamp already has a localhost. Has anyone else come accross this problem? is there a work around (eg, rename localhost to something else)

Um, all machines have a localhost, it is simply the name of the actual machine.

 

To setup mutliple hostnames you need to use a combination of virtual host configuartions for apache as well as adding the relevent entries to your hosts file.

 

A default hosts file will simply be (example)...

 

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

 

To add another...

 

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
127.0.0.1 foo.com

 

Your hosts file can be found in /etc/hosts on Linux and you'll need to search for it on windows (I'm not a windows user), its somewhere in the system32 directory I think.

This thread is more than a year old. Please don't revive it unless you have something important to add.
