Great guide, thanks John.
Lamp Server Virtual Machine
MAMP installs a local server environment in a matter of seconds on your Windows or macOS computer. MAMP comes free of charge, and is easily installed. MAMP will not compromise any existing Apache installation already running on your system. I am use to using WAMP on a windows machine but I want to install something similar on a MAC. I have noticed that there are quite a few. What is the best LAMP environment to use for MAC if used to. Wamp server for mac free download - Varal WAMP, Apple Mac OS X Snow Leopard, Parallels Server for Mac, and many more programs. Now we just need to tell Mac OS to use dnsmasq instead of the DNS server that is assigned to you by your gateway. The most straightforward way of doing this is to simply add 127.0.0.1 to your list of DNS servers. The problem is that you will also need to make sure that you have another DNS server for other requests. I like to use OpenDNS.
Just a note, in case anyone has the same issue. At first I couldn't get this to work. I tried logging out and back in (still no joy), then restarting the mac (still no joy).
Try doing both of those first. However, if, like me, you still can't get the local host site to load, try the following: You should find a file at /Library/WebServer/Documents/index.html.en . This contains the text 'It works!' referred to in the post. What I did was duplicate that file in the same folder and changed the duplicate's name to 'index.html', leaving the original in situ.
Both local and user sites then loaded. After which, I was able to delete the duplicated file and everything now works without issue. Just to be clear, leave the original file index.html.en where it is, untouched and unharmed throughout this step.
Not sure why I had to take this mysterious detour - probably something local to my machine, but if you're having trouble after following the guide above, see if it helps.
