I'm working on image hosting imgur clone. I created a subdomain for my images i.localhost Added to the hosts file -> 127.0.0.1 i.localhost Added to httpd-vhosts.conf ->
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/Users/BillGates/Sites/images/"
ServerName i.localhost
</VirtualHost>
My site is running on my local machine at localhost. Visitor can see the image at url like localhost/NE2bd, I did this url with Mod_Rewrite so it's all like imgur.com
Since I store all my images in /Users/BillGates/Sites/images/ I can't see an image at i.localhost/NE2bd.jpeg !!!! But the image is in the images folder!!
I am getting Not Found
The requested URL /NE2bd.jpeg was not found on this server. My httpd-vhosts.conf
#
# Virtual Hosts
#
# If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on your
# machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them. Most configurations
# use only name-based virtual hosts so the server doesn't need to worry about
# IP addresses. This is indicated by the asterisks in the directives below.
#
# Please see the documentation at
# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/>
# for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts.
#
# You may use the command line option '-S' to verify your virtual host
# configuration.
#
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#
NameVirtualHost *:80
#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for all requests that do not
# match a ServerName or ServerAlias in any <VirtualHost> block.
#
<VirtualHost *:80>
