Zero-config development with Apache’s VirtualDocumentRoot and xip.io

# Use name-based virtual hosting.
NameVirtualHost *:80
UseCanonicalName Off
 
# ~/Sites/ vhost configuration - sends foo.bar.dev to ~/Sites/bar/foo
<VirtualHost *:80>
    VirtualDocumentRoot /Users/dave/Sites/%2/%1
 
    <Directory "/Users/dave/Sites">
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

What that VirtualDocumentRoot does is map the above company and project to the %2 and %1 variables, respectively. So whenever I surf to http://foo.bar.dev, I end up in ~/Sites/bar/foo.

Dave’s a clever man.
