[FIXED] Creating a Virtual Host for Apache MAMP

Issue

I'm trying to create a virtual host on my MAMP setup so I can access http://api.localhost for a PHP API I'm trying to build with Slim. Here's the code I've appended to my httpd.conf file:

Name VirtualHost 127.0.0.1
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
    DocumentRoot "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/slim"
    ServerName api.localhost
</VirtualHost>

When I restart the server and try to start it up again with this new configuration, it simply won't load. I commented out the new code and it loads fine. Any ideas?

Solution

try to use this line

<VirtualHost *:80>

instead of yours

and I think you can remove the first line too...
