... and costs money. Mine is free as in beer.

I guess I just can't consciously pay for something that I can replicate with a couple of lines of bash scripting.

Might I at the tip of a hat recommend VirtualHostX (www.clickontyler.com).

Very nice app, that does the same and whole bunch more.

cool script, thanks.
i did some modification to use it with MAMP.
i’ve changed the following lines:

from:
HTTPDFILE=”/etc/apache2/httpd.conf”
to:
HTTPDFILE=”/Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf”

from:
$(apachectl restart)
to:
$(/Applications/MAMP/bin/apache2/bin/apachectl restart)

Using it already :) I was going to make this for myself eventually!

Awesomeness! Just need to replace the apachectl line with the MAMP equivalent, and I’ll be using this all the time. :)

Wow, thank you so much!

I just recently wanted to set up some virtual hosts for some projects I'm working on and there was a small typo I made in the configuration file which resulted in a wrecked Apache. Fortunately I was able to fix the problem but it's just a pain in the a** to set it up manually every time.

Wow, great stuff! I’ll definitely be putting this to use.
