It is always good to set up a virtual host for your project when you are developing an application. Here is an example of two virtual hosts that I have set up for two of my projects. One called crm and one called blog and both projects are located under /Users/sfprojects/
This is what I have added to the end of my httpd.conf
# Be sure to only have this line once in your configuration
NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:8080
# This is the configuration for your project
Listen 127.0.0.1:8080
ServerName crm
DocumentRoot "/Users/sfprojects/crm/web"
DirectoryIndex app.php
AllowOverride All
Allow from All
ServerName blog
DocumentRoot "/Users/sfprojects/blog/web"
DirectoryIndex app.php
AllowOverride All
Allow from All
and this is what i have added to my /etc/hosts file
127.0.0.1 crm 127.0.0.1 blog
Happy hacking!
