Setting up Virtual Hosts on Mac OS X.
If you often run around tearing your hair up wondering how to simulate a production environment on your Mac where each test site can have its own root (“/”) folder, you probably might want to learn how to set up virtual hosting. And you can do it bloody easily with Patrick Gibson’s powerful and easy-to-use shell script for OS X — virtualhost.sh. Maybe not the easiest thing for the command-line virgins out there, but the massive benefits of having a staging site on your local machine probably far outweighs the pain of learning (relatively simple) Unix commands.
And here’s something that you have to do to get started with the virtualhost.sh file after downloading and extracting it: you need to do a chmod +x virtualhost.sh before you can ‘run’ it.
Whoa… that was a lot of geek talk for one day.
