Something to note, if you are using a non standard port (127.0.0.1:8080 instead of 127.0.0.1:80), when accessing your site, post pend the correct port to view it correctly. In the case above, you would type dg:8080 (or w3counter:8080) into the address bar.

Hi, I’m trying to get Kankamuso’s suggestion to work – what does the ‘%0″ do?

Is that single Virtual Host declaration all that is needed, rather than one for each site like in the article?

Thanks

This worked nicely except only the very first directory comes up. No matter how many sections I set up and add to the hosts file all of those calls to the subdirectories goes to the first one.

Too odd, any ideas?

I haven’t decided if I’m going to buy a copy when the 30 day trial expires yet. It doesn’t do a whole lot other than syntax highlighting; I don’t think the Intellisense works any better than Eclipse’s with PDT… it’s just that Eclipse is unstable and slow. I got tired of the crashing and restarting, and I’ll take any IDE that can provide syntax highlighting and works with multiple open files at once easily. The MS employee discount on MSDN was huge.. I got the premium subscription with VSTS for just a few dollars.. so while I’m now using the latest Visual Studio for C#, it was convenient to also use for PHP. I also wanted to explore the supposed ability to debug JavaScript from inside VS 2008 on PHP pages.

Hey Dan,
To follow up on Sara’s comment, what do you think of VS.PHP? I absolutely love VS’s development environment (especially where it allows you to hide blocks of code), would you say it’s worth the $99 or $149 price tag?

Thanks

I haven’t tried VS.PHP. What do you think?

Comments system ate my < and > symbols. The piece of config should read:

VirtualDocumentRoot d:/www/%0 Options Indexes FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI

It can be easier. I use:

VirtualDocumentRoot d:/www/%0 Options Indexes FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI

I add any “website” I want as a folder into d:\www (e.g. d:\www\djg). Of course, I’ve still have to add the domain name (djg in the example) to the hosts file. I’ve got a script which looks into d:\www and updates hosts file accordingly.

Cheers.
