Well.. got a mac and now going through this

Found this helpful to view hidden files in the finder.

Terminal command:
defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES

Then restart finder:
control-option click finder icon in dock > relaunch

Thanks so much!

Best info I found, after countless lost hours and recurring disappointment.

My only issue after reading this was that I had previously set-up a virtual host name on my Sites folder e.g. http://macbook/subsite.com.

I just had to define ‘macbook’ as a virtual host first inside httpd-vhosts.conf (as you’ve shown above) before defining other ’subsites’ separately.

My big win for the week!

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Googled around and couldn’t seem to find the *right* article… finally found this and BINGO!
