cleary1981 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 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) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/113080-already-a-localhost-on-machine/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 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.
