Sweet thanks for this – I kind of hacked together the apache part of it but was missing the entry in the hosts file and the little a2ensite.

Damn, my msg got mangled. I meant replace VirtualHost * with VirtualHost 127.0.0.1

On windows this is nearly the same, host file is in “windir/system32/drivers/etc/host” and paths must have forward slash like “D:/webroot/site1″, put them in quotes if you have spaces in your path. Lastly, I couldnt get it working until I’ve put NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1 at the top of vhosts conf file and then changed to . Dont forget to put your regular webroot at the top of these directives (also like virtual host) otherwise you wont be able to access it. Good luck.

@Nicholas
Yes, sudo a2ensite alphaproject is indeed correct. I updated the post to reflect that.

Thanks.

sudo a2ensite myconfig

should read

sudo a2ensite alphaproject

should it not?

[...] took another 30 minutes. Very much painless, less that the fact that I need to recheck every single Apache subdomain that I had created to make sure that there are still working. It was pretty scary when the updates [...]

An important note if you want to use .htaccess files to enable features like mod_rewrite: AllowOverride should be set to “All” instead of “None”
