Haha.. Not to mention there are more elegant ways to work locally than subdir-ing the hell out of localhost. VirtualHost, anyone?

I was just pointing out that '/' does not work for every situation. That subdirectory does not work for the same reason that I gave you before, only vice-versa

Colin, tell me more about using vhost on localhost. Do you mean that I create hosts like "myproject", "myproject2" etc. on the local machine and add those to vhosts (so the address would be http://myproject/)?

I know how to setup vhosts but havent done that on localhost before.

Automatic base_url on the wiki page works just fine both localhost and the actual domain so I havent bothered to use anything else but aliases.

cahva, I wouldn't see the practicality of developing a site to live on the root locally then in a sub folder on the remote server.

Here's a typical vhost entry I do:

Code:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot C:/local/www/williamsconcepts.com
    ServerName local.williamsconcepts.com
    ServerAlias *.local.williamsconcepts.com
    
    <Directory "C:/local/www/williamsconcepts.com">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Then I just add an entry to my hosts file (Windows)

Code:

127.0.0.1      local.williamsconcepts.com

Ok, thanks colin. I already turned my aliases to vhosts and all is working well With this config base_url can be just '/' as you said.
