Video Demo of an App I wrote today for local hosting on OSX

1 Comment June 4, 2011

Download Video: MP4

This app makes it possible to easily setup a local website on your mac. The app takes a domain name of your choice as input then sets up a virtual host on the apache 2 server.

Open the app
enter the domain you want
select the folder for the web files to reside
Click OK

The app then writes the apache config, the host entry ( setting the domain to point to 127.0.0.1) , restarts apache, flushes the DNS cache, writes an index.html file with the domain name to the web directory, and finally opens the site in Safari

that’s awesome!!!!!!

check it out on github here https://github.com/creding/thats-awesome
