For Windows machines, I suggest using Acrylic DNS proxy to handle the DNS for multiple sites. I've got info on it here:

Basically all my client sites on the devel machine get the TLD .dev (ie: mysite.dev) . I've been doing this for a few years now and love it.

You can download MAMP / XAMPP or WAMP for free. Follow the instructions and you can access any (dev) site. Will take you about 15 minutes.

Brain is a bit worn out so this may seem a silly question, but how can I access the development machine sites? Localhost just gives me the first Apache default listed site, and using the domain names takes me to the new server. Tried listening on a different port, didn't help, nor did using 127.0.0.1 - loopback. Must be an easier way than setting up a local DNS server and changing development machine domain names. > > Suggestions please. > Add your dev sites to the /etc/hosts file. 127.0.0.1 dev.site1.com <http://dev.site1.com> 127.0.0.1 dev.site2.com <http://dev.site2.com> etc. How are you accessing the dev sites? I mean are you using a browser housed on the same host as the server or are you accessing from a different client? You'll need to add the same entries in the client hosts file, if that is a windows PC it will be something like c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts. -- Earnie -- https://sites.google.com/site/earnieboyd -- [ Drupal support list | http://lists.drupal.org/ ]-- Eljay Bos Mobile Italy:+39 3392403630 Mobile Kenya: +254 0706758499
