Hello Friends,

Just wanted to make this a as a quick Post.
I am trying to set my local folder as localhost, the way we set in windows.

I am a webmaster and bought a new apple iBook 12" and now i am trying view my websites locally as I would be working on it most of the time.
I guess there is not much complication in doing this, but still i was not able to do this.

Can anyone please reply to this post soon.

Thanks in advance.

The good thing about Mac OS X is that Apache comes built in, you just have to enable it. Go to System preferences > Sharing > enable Personal Web Sharing (or ftp and whatever else you need).

Thanks Antizero for the reply, I really appreciate.

You have to do that in your httpd.conf I guess.

one thing, I can help you make it: 202.168.2.8/mohammed/ without the ~

example

Alias /mohammed/ "/path/to/mohammed's/folder/"

<Directory "/path/to/mohammed's/folder">
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

/Library/Webserver/Documents/ is the location of the root web directory.
