			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is how to create subdomains for testing purposes on localhost.  I found a few articles on how do this on Windows (using host files), but nothing for mac. Say for instance you wanted to change your user&#8217;s site root to http://username.localhost instead of http://localhost/~username</p>
<ul>
<li>Backup <code>/private/etc/httpd/httpd.conf</code> in case something goes wrong. Just duplicate it with a date-stamp or other memorable name.</li>
<li>Open <code>/private/etc/httpd/httpd.conf</code> with your favorite text editor.</li>
<li>Try seraching for <code>NameVirtualHost</code>, you should find it around line number 1063. You&#8217;ll want to uncomment that line.
<pre>NameVirtualHost *:80</pre>
</li>
<li>There are a few instructions on the following lines.  You&#8217;ll need something like this in following those instructions.
<pre>&lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt;
    ServerName localhost
    DocumentRoot /Library/WebServer/Documents
&lt;/VirtualHost&gt;

&lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt;
    ServerName username.localhost
    DocumentRoot /Users/username/Sites
&lt;/VirtualHost&gt;</pre>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Now you&#8217;ll have to edit your configuration in NetInfo Manager so the computer knows where to find your subdomain.</p>
<p><a href="images/?image=netinfomgr.png&#038;alt=NetInfo Manager Screenshot with username.localhost Subdomain"><img src="images/netinfomgr_thumb.png" alt="NetInfo Manager Screenshot with username.localhost Subdomain" class="right" style="margin:2px 0 1.6em 10px;"/></a></p>
<ul>
<li>Open NetInfo Manager: Applications > Utilities > NetInfo Manager.</li>
<li>Click the lock in the lower left corner, you&#8217;ll be prompted for an Administrator password.</li>
<li>Click on / and then machines. You should see something there named localhost.</li>
<li>Click on localhost, then the duplicate icon on the upper left.</li>
<li>You should then have something called localhost copy.  Go ahead and click on localhost copy.</li>
<li>Double click the name field and give it the name of your subdomain in the Apache config file, i.e. username.localhost. Leave everything else as the default.</li>
<li>Go ahead and save your changes.</li>
<li>You should be able to browse to your sub-domain and see your personal website.</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="images/?image=permissions.png&#038;alt=Screenshot of Ownership and Permissions"><img src="images/permissions_thumb.png" alt="Screenshot of Ownership and Permissions" class="left" style="margin:2px 10px 1.6em 0;"/></a></p>
<p>If you get a 403 Forbidden error, you probably need to set the permissions on your sites directory so the world has read access. Get Info on your sites directory, open Ownership and Permissions at the bottom, Others should be Read Only, Apply to enclosed items&#8230; and you should be good to go.</p>

<ul>
<li>Backup <code>/private/etc/httpd/httpd.conf</code> in case something goes wrong. Just duplicate it with a date-stamp or other memorable name.</li>
<li>Open <code>/private/etc/httpd/httpd.conf</code> with your favorite text editor.</li>
<li>Around line 240, uncomment the line that loads PHP module: <code>LoadModule php4_module</code> &#8230;</li>
<li>Around 284, uncomment the link that adds the PHP module: <code>AddModule mod_php4.c</code></li>
<li>Restart Apache by restarting System Preferences > Sharing > Services Tab > Personal Web Sharing.</li>
<li>Try a test document with <code>phpinfo()</code>.  My version of Tiger had PHP Version 4.4.4 and the Configuration File (php.ini) Path at <code>/etc.</code></li>

<blockquote><p>I was worried about standing up here giving this toast, so I did some research to help start the creative juices flowing.  However, the research wasn&#8217;t very helpful.  All I learned was to never say that I slept with the bride.  And, so, I haven&#8217;t.</p></blockquote>
