Detailed introduction to the Mac OS Apache configuration method

The version of Mac OS X I'm using is 10.8.2,mac comes with an Apache environment.
Launch Apache
Set up a virtual host

launch Apache
Open terminal (terminal), enter sudo apachectl-v, (you may need to enter the machine secret). The Apache version is shown below

Then enter sudo apachectl start so that Apache starts up. Open Safari Browser address bar Enter "http://localhost", you can see the content "It works!" The page. It is located under/library (Resource Library)/webserver/documents/, which is the default root directory for Apache.
The installation directory for Apache is:/etc/apache2/,etc is hidden by default. There are three ways of viewing:
1.dock Right-click Finder, select "Go to Folder", enter "/etc"
2. In the Finder-----Go to the folder and enter/etc
3. You can enter "OPEN/ETC" in terminal

set up a virtual host
1. Run "sudo vi/etc/apache2/httpd.conf" on the terminal to open the Apche configuration file
2. Find "#Include/private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf" in httpd.conf, remove the "#" from the front and save and exit.
3. Run "sudo apachectl restart" to restart Apache and turn on the virtual host Configuration feature.
4. Run "sudo vi/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf", open the configuration virtual host file httpd-vhost.conf, configure the virtual host. It is important to note that the file is enabled by default for two virtual hosts as an example:

5. Add the following configuration

<virtualhost *: the>DocumentRoot"/library/webserver/documents"ServerName localhost errorlog"/private/var/log/apache2/localhost-error_log"Customlog"/private/var/log/apache2/localhost-access_log"Common</VirtualHost> <virtualhost *: the>DocumentRoot"/users/snandy/work"ServerName mysites errorlog"/private/var/log/apache2/sites-error_log"Customlog"/private/var/log/apache2/sites-access_log"Common<directory/>Options Indexes followsymlinks multiviews allowoverride None Order deny,allow allow from All</Directory> </VirtualHost>

Save the exit and restart Apache.
6. Run "sudo vi/etc/hosts", open the Hosts configuration file, add "127.0.0.1 mysites", so you can configure the completion sites virtual host, can access "http://mysites", before 10.8 mac OS The x version has exactly the same content as the "http://localhost/~[user name".
7. Note that the log "errorlog"/private/var/log/apache2/sites-error_log "" can also be deleted, but logging is actually a good habit, in the event of a problem can help us to judge. If you keep these log code, a certain log file path is present, if you arbitrarily modify a non-existent, will cause Apache can not service without error prompts, this is more disgusting.
