MAMP VirtualHost. What am I missing

See these posts of mine to maybe help with MAMP virtual hosts:

Let me know if that does the trick. Try out the Hosts widget I mention, as it has been the easiest way for me (never fails to flush DNS for me, etc, so it always works the moment I save a new entry). If you do manually edit /etc/hosts, at least the source I learned from a long time ago said you had to edit it using sudo (not just nano /etc/hosts).

I'm not sure if it's due to having migrated through several versions of MAMP, but my httpd.conf does not have the VirtualHost 127.0.0.1 that's mentioned in the link you posted.

Check out VirtualHostX. Spend c $9 and save yourself the hassle. I use MAMP Pro to do the same thing but this is a much more affordable option.

I know it seems a bit late, but after getting stuck in the same rut, I noticed one thing in the code examples that seemed different. In the first listing of the httpd.config file Sheedz shows us this.

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
        DocumentRoot /Users/imac/foo
        ServerName localhost  
</VirtualHost>
   
<VirtualHost *>
        DocumentRoot /Users/imac/foo/site
        ServerName www.domain.dev
</VirtualHost>

By the time his configuration is working he shows us this.

NameVirtualHost *

<VirtualHost *>
        DocumentRoot /Users/imac/htpdocs
        ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>
        DocumentRoot /Users/imac/htpdocs/los/c1
        ServerName loscam.c1
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>
        DocumentRoot /Users/imac/htpdocs/los/c2
        ServerName loscam.c2
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>
        DocumentRoot /Users/imac/htpdocs/los/c3
        ServerName loscam.c3
</VirtualHost>

The difference is in the Virtual Host used for the localhost. Initially it was this <VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>. Once it is set to <VirtualHost *> the whole thing seemed to work for me.

I hope this helps out someone else :)

I too struggled with this very same issue for two days before I stumbled upon this post. Most tutorial forget to tell you to do two things:

1. in your httpd.conf file, you have to remove the # from # NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1
2. you should change that from 127.0.0.1 to * and then make sure all of your entries below that are

This seems to have solved my issue.

Thanks to all who contributed to posting this solution!

Hi Folks,

If anyone is facing issues regarding setup the multi site in D8. Please follow the below steps.

Here I am going to create a new sub site in D8 named - domain1.com.

1. Just navigate to the Drupal 8 root dir.
2. Goto sites folder.
3. Create a new file sites.php or you can copy example.sites.php and rename it.
4. Put below code in sites.php.

$sites = array(
 'domain1.com' => 'domain1',
);

5. Now inside the sites folder create a folder named - domain1
6. Inside domain1 folder , you should have 3 folders.
A. modules
B. files
C. settings.php
7. if you already have db then link db from settings.php, if not then copy default.settings.php and paste it followed by rename to settings.php in domain1 folder and place the below code at the bottom of the file.

$databases['default']['default'] = array (
  'database' => 'whatever',
  'username' => 'whatever',
  'password' => 'whatever',
  'prefix' => '',
  'host' => '127.0.0.1',
  'port' => '3306',
  'namespace' => 'Drupal\\Core\\Database\\Driver\\mysql',
  'driver' => 'mysql',
);
$settings['install_profile'] = 'standard';
$config_directories['sync'] = 'profiles/sync';

8. Now if you are using mac or linux then fire below command.

sudo vi /private/etc/hosts

Add the following line at the end of the file.

127.0.0.1      domain1.com

9. Now the last step will be to map your hosts and drupal.

#
# Virtual Hosts
#
# If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on your
# machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them. Most configurations
# use only name-based virtual hosts so the server doesn't need to worry about
# IP addresses. This is indicated by the asterisks in the directives below.
#
# Please see the documentation at
# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/>
# for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts.
#
# You may use the command line option '-S' to verify your virtual host
# configuration.

#
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#

NameVirtualHost *:80

#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for all requests that do not
# match a ServerName or ServerAlias in any <VirtualHost> block.
#
## <VirtualHost *:80>
    ##ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com
    ##DocumentRoot "/Applications/MAMP/Library/docs/dummy-host.example.com"
    ##ServerName dummy-host.example.com
    ##ServerAlias www.dummy-host.example.com
    ##ErrorLog "logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log"
    ##CustomLog "logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log" common
## </VirtualHost>

## <VirtualHost *:80>
    ##ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host2.example.com
    ##DocumentRoot "/Applications/MAMP/Library/docs/dummy-host2.example.com"
    ##ServerName dummy-host2.example.com
    ##ErrorLog "logs/dummy-host2.example.com-error_log"
    ##CustomLog "logs/dummy-host2.example.com-access_log" common
## </VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"
    ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/drupal-8.0.0/"
    ServerName domain1.com
</VirtualHost>

Please note you need to enable vhosts file include from httpd.conf file.

Uncomment below in httpd.conf file to include vhosts.

# Virtual hosts
# Include /... path ../httpd-vhosts.conf

to

<code>
# Virtual hosts
Include /... path ../httpd-vhosts.conf
