So I’m trying to develop a php website locally on my macbook. I’m using apache as my webserver, I have php and mysql installed, and I can use the php index file in my sites folder, but I would like to move all of my development over to a different.

I’ve been trying to configure apache to run on a different port, so far I’ve made these changes to my /etc/apache2/extras/httpd-vhost.conf

<VirtualHost *:2727>
ServerAdmin foobar@gmail.com
DocumentRoot "/Users/brianWheeler/Foobar"
ServerName local.foobar.com
</VirtualHost>

And i’ve edited my /etc/apache2/httpd.conf to say 

listen 127.0.0.1:2727 http

I’ve started apache, but when I go to 127.0.0.1:2727 I get the google chrome page not found type thing.

I’ve run apachectl -t command to see whats wrong, and I just get this one error

httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using Foo-Bars-MacBook.local for ServerName

So my questions are, how do I configure the DocumentRoot/index page, and what kind of diagnostics can I run to see why this won’t work?

    httpd: Could not reliably determine the server’s fully qualified domain name, using Foo-Bars-MacBook.local for ServerName – this error possibly is not related with your problem.
    most of my test server are giving this error but they are running with no problem.

    please try to insert the line without ip and http,

    listen 2727

    edit: can you try following:

    NameVirtualHost *:2727
Listen 2727
