: Apache virtual hosts configuration for MAMP results in new sites going to the same folder I have MAMP installed in my mac. Why is it that every time I create a new site, they all go to

@Kimberly868

Apache doesn't recommend using domains in the <VirtualHost> declaration, I have found from experience that you will have far less trouble using an asterisk here (*) and just let the domain be matched against the ServerName value.

Also, the first virtual host site behaves as a default for whenever the name does not exactly match one of the defined virtual hosts. Therefore I would recommend if you do not want the fun stuff page to be your default site, try adding a new default VirtualHost and corresponding blank page website to your httpd.conf file.

NameVirtualHost *:8888

# Default Virtual Host Site - Blank
<VirtualHost *.8888>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/default
</VirtualHost>

# Fun Stuff Page
<VirtualHost *:8888>
ServerName localhost.funstuff
ServerAlias localhost.funstuff DocumentRoot /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/funstuff
</VirtualHost>

# My Site
<VirtualHost *:8888>
ServerName localhost.mysite
ServerAlias localhost.mysite DocumentRoot /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/mysite
</VirtualHost>

# My Old Site
<VirtualHost *:8888>
ServerName localhost.oldmysite
ServerAlias localhost.oldmysite DocumentRoot /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/oldmysite/sites/oldmysite
</VirtualHost>
