Setting up Apache Virtual Hosts

A useful technique when you are trying to do some cross-domain testing with websites or APIs.

This helps me and it puzzles me. The help is for understanding the general procedure; that's just fine. The puzzle is using it.
First: MAMP refuses to set port :80. That is because the on board server of the iMAC uses that port. So stick with :3000 or use another port number, but NOT :80.
With these slight modifications it works fine. Thank's for taking the trouble to make this video!

All you material on CORS and CSURF is helping me so much.

Finally got an application built to consume openweathermap api and maps.

Hi, might be this is a stupid question. But, i wanna know. Can someone from other country visit my website when I am using this virtual host? Or it's only for local computer only?

Thanks.

Hi - I cant figure out what the www/vhosts/ folder is - all the Apache/CentOS virtual hosts how-to vids ignore this folder. Thanks :)

thanks for the server stuff Steve; I'm assuming this will allow me to have these different files at the same root level in my text editor where files are stored in htdocs? I've not been able to get ATOM live server working from that location, so if I create a new let's call it domain on my desktop I'm assuming perhaps live server will work--thoughts, please?

I tried this, it still just jumps to what ever dir port 80 is set to no matter what port is chosen ><
