Re: Configure cakephp for more that one local testing and development instances using wamp / xampp

I always keep multiple sites as virtual hosts in Apache (the A in WAMP/
XAMPP) and combine that with fake hostnames.

(/ets/hosts on *nix, no idea how Windows do it)
hostnames, all pointing to localhost might be
portfolio.site
great.site
tutorials.site

If you then setup Apache in your *amp to use vhosts. At their most
simple they look like:

NameVirtualHost *:80
<virtualhost *:80>
DocumentRoot /path/to/cake/portfolio/webroot
ServerName portfolio.site
</virtualhost>
<virtualhost *:80>
DocumentRoot /path/to/cake/great/webroot
ServerName great.site
</virtualhost>

You can see that I have created multiple "app" folders and called them
by the name of the project. I have then pointed Apache to the webroot
of each one for a "production" deplay locally. For me this is one less
thing that changes when I deploy and I very rarely have deployment
problems with this setup.
