XAMPP: Mac - mhulse/mhulse.github.io GitHub Wiki

I needed a simple way to test some demo pages, so I installed XAMPP:

XAMPP is an easy to install Apache distribution containing MySQL, PHP and Perl. XAMPP is really very easy to install and to use - just download, extract and start.

Once you've installed XAMPP, navigate to and open:

/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/etc/httpd.conf

... and un-comment the vhosts line:

# Virtual hosts
Include /Applications/XAMPP/etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

Next, navigate to and open:

/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

Now, comment-out the existing virtual host containers and add:

# this keeps http://localhost working
<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs"
    ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "/xxx/USERNAME/github"
    ServerName git.local
    ServerAlias www.git.local 
    ErrorLog "logs/git.local-error.log"
    CustomLog "logs/git.local-access.log" combined
    DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
    <Directory "/xxx/USERNAME/github">
        IndexOptions +FancyIndexing NameWidth=*
        Options Includes FollowSymLinks Indexes
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

This setup assumes that you have a github folder located here:

~/github

(That's your home directory /github).

Here's the complete file:

#
# 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>

#    DocumentRoot "/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/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>

#    CustomLog "logs/dummy-host2.example.com-access_log" common
#</VirtualHost>

# this keeps http://localhost working
<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs"
    ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "/xxx/USERNAME/github"
    ServerName git.local
    ServerAlias www.git.local 
    ErrorLog "logs/git.local-error.log"
    CustomLog "logs/git.local-access.log" combined
    DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
    <Directory "/xxx/USERNAME/github">
        IndexOptions +FancyIndexing NameWidth=*
        Options Includes FollowSymLinks Indexes
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Spoof:

Lastly, we need to spoof a URL. Do this by adding a few lines to your hosts file:

/private/etc/hosts

Open the above file and add:

helpful article for save permission issues

127.0.0.1	git.local

Or, this is how I do it, download and install:

Hosts is a system preference pane to manage your hosts file.

Once installed, navigate to your System Preferences >> Other: Hosts. Add 127.0.0.1 as an "ip" and git.local as your "hostname".

Now, start-up (or restart) Apache via XAMPP control panel, open a browser and visit:

http://git.local

Here's a good blog post on this topic:

Configuring VirtualHosts in XAMPP on Mac

Problems:

I started getting this error:

HostnameError001

HostnameError001Description

After a bit of Googling, I ended up changing my computer's host name to mhulse.local:

System Preferences >> Sharing: Below the "Computer Name" field, hit "Edit..." and type the desired host name (I chose "mhulse").

Next, I added this to my /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf file:

# this keeps http://mhulse.local working
<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs"
    ServerName mhulse.local
</VirtualHost>

From there, I added 127.0.0.1 to my hosts file and pointed it toward mhulse.local endpoint.

I stopped Apache and MySQL and restarted my computer.

WOOT! No more HostnameError001Description errors!

PROBLEM: Setting up a <VirtualHost> on an existing OS folder, like ~/Documents/Dropbox/, gives me:

Access forbidden! You don't have permission to access the requested directory. There is either no index document or the directory is read-protected.

SOLUTION: Easy! Just change the default httpd User/Group.

For me, I just modified the existing code in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/etc/httpd.conf.

<IfModule !mpm_winnt_module>
<IfModule !mpm_netware_module>
#
# If you wish httpd to run as a different user or group, you must run
# httpd as root initially and it will switch.  
#
# User/Group: The name (or #number) of the user/group to run httpd as.
# It is usually good practice to create a dedicated user and group for
# running httpd, as with most system services.
#
# Default values:
#User nobody
#Group nogroup
#
# My values:
User mhulse
Group staff
</IfModule>
</IfModule>

... where mhulse is my user and staff is the group used on my machine.

Don't forget to stop/start Apache.

Change XAMPP's htdocs web root folder to another one

May 2014 UPDATE:

I just upgraded to XAMPP 1.8.3-4, and had to adjust a few thingys.

First, I backed up my 1.7.3-beta1 httpd.conf and httpd-vhosts.conf to ~/Dropbox/xampp/.

To avoid any losses, I rename my Applications/XAMPP folder to XAMPP.bak.

Next, I install a new version of XAMPP.

After installation, I edit /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/etc/httpd.conf … Before I do anything, I remove all comments:

Find: #.*\n
Replace: "" (nothing)

I clean up the indentation and tweak a few values. The end result looks like:

ServerRoot "/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles"

Note that I Include my httpd-vhosts.1.8.3-4.conf file from my Dropbox folder.

Here's what my vhosts file looks like:

<VirtualHost *:80>
	DocumentRoot "/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs"

</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
	DocumentRoot "/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs"

</VirtualHost>

Now I can sync my vhosts between machines. Nice.

Don't forget to change the timezone setting in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/etc/php.ini:

date.timezone=America/Los_Angeles

Note: If you have your home directory not on your main drive, then you might need to symlink your user folder:

$ sudo ln -s /Volumes/Foo/mhulse mhulse

… so that your vhosts can work on different machines (even though drive names may be different); the only requirement is that your user name is the same between machines.

Done!
