And my guess is that it is not possible. iDisk is a way to store data. You need a full fledged computer running the Apache webserver software to create a Virtual Host. Write if you find a way to do what you want. Braden,

I can't seem to get it to work with this tutorial. This would be extremely convenient to be able to sync my dev sites between my computers using iDisk. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

This means that it ONLY exists on your computer and you will be the only one to see it. It will not be seen by anyone on the internet. So your router and DSL have nothing to do with this. A local versions of a website is for testing, development and updating. Usually I will make changes or figure stuff out on the local version and once I am sure it works I will upload the revised files to the remote website (the real website, the .com or whatever) via FTP. I hope this is clear. Also Apache is included on the Mac operating system. If you have followed the instructions you have been altering the configuration of Apache. Since I cannot see any of your modifications I am not sure what the problem is. Editing text files can be very touchy, so I would suggest going through all the instructions one by one and checking them against your revisions. Sometimes a misspelling or a missing line return (or something else equally trivial) will be the cause of the problem. And be sure to turn off and then turn on Web Sharing in your System Preferences (this restarts Apache) each time you make a change.

THANK YOU! However I can not get it running. I have a 2wire router with AT&T DSL wireless do I need to configure something with the router preferences? What else is for me to check? Do I need to install apache or change my website name or .dev termination. I am lost! Thank you for your help. I followed this tutorial. THANK YOU! However I can not get it running.

I've been learning Linux server administration at work, so all of this looks way familiar. I knew that Mac was based on *nix, but was not at all aware how to get to the pieces except through the Terminal. I like this *lots* better. You deserve an award - you have made my life a ton easier.
