Topic : Multiple domains with different WordPress install

Posted By: olind on September 28, 2018, 6:46 pm

I'm moving away from the build in OSX Apache, PHP, MySQL-stack on OSX (since it changes everytime Apple updates anything).

I would like to add an entry for my domains to my hosts-file. I found a feature in Ampps for that and it added the .localhost version of my domain-name perfectly.

I then installed WordPress to that domain and opened the web browser for that domain. It sent me to the root folder instead of the .localhost - folder.

In the long run I would like to have multiple .localhost-domains (~10) to separate folders.

Can it be done? If so - what am I missing?

Thanks!

I just tried to solve the problem and found the vhosts-file where there is an entry that seems to make sense (I'm not a pro on this so I can be wrong

)

Code

#DO NOT EDIT, CREATED BY AMPPS

#### olalindberg.localhost VirtualHost ####

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>

<Directory "/Applications/AMPPS/www/olalindberg.localhost">

Options FollowSymLinks Indexes

AllowOverride All

Order deny,allow

allow from All

</Directory>

ServerName olalindberg.localhost

ServerAlias olalindberg.localhost

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/Applications/AMPPS/www/olalindberg.localhost/cgi-bin/"

DocumentRoot "/Applications/AMPPS/www/olalindberg.localhost"

ErrorLog "/Applications/AMPPS/apache/logs/olalindberg.localhost.err"

CustomLog "/Applications/AMPPS/apache/logs/olalindberg.localhost.log" combined

</VirtualHost>

I think I found a working solution to this: https://www.softaculous.com/board/index.php?tid=10437&title=Adding_subdomain(s)

Also looking a bit at this solution that is something I'm trying to get to in the long run: https://www.softaculous.com/board/index.php?tid=10363&tpg=1#p43586
