1. Allow virtual hosts

   Go to Applications > MAMP > conf > apache > httpd.conf

   Find this line:

   # Virtual hosts
   #Include /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
   

   Uncomment the code by removing the hash symbol.

   # Virtual hosts
   Include /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
   

2. Allow SymLink Override

   Find this line in that same httpd.conf file.

   
       Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
       AllowOverride None
   
   

   change None to All.

   
       Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
       AllowOverride All
   
   

3. Add the virtual host path

   Go to Applications > MAMP > conf > apache > extra > httpd-vhosts.conf

   add the virtual host with servname and document root like the below code

   
     ServerName example.dev
     DocumentRoot "/path/to/directory"
   
   

4. Allow your computer to recognize your local domain

   Open terminal and type

   sudo pico /etc/hosts
   

   then add your domain

   127.0.0.1 example.dev
   

5. Restart your server.
