  • Hey,

    The easiest way is to install GasMask:
    https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/29949/gas-mask

    This will allow you to edit your hosts file. There will be a few lines in there already so add another like so:

    127.0.0.1 mydomine.com

    Save it, then enter your domain in the browser and your site should appear.

    thank you !

    The entries for localhost, copy one of them and change localhost to eg-reeds.com.

    ::1 eg-reeds.com

    If that doesn’t work, try the last one.

    You may need to restart your browser and/or MAMP after…

    This article explains how to use a local domain name with Mamp:

    Quick and Dirty Local Domain Names for MAMP

    In your case, you want to use your final “production” domain locally, so rather than using .dev as in his example, you can use .com (or whatever top-level domain you’re using).

    Most developers use .dev or .local for the localhost, and then update the domain once it’s on their production sever. It can be a bit confusing to use the same domain for local development and production – once the domain is in your hosts file, you won’t be able to access your production site, and if you forget that it’s in there, you’ll be accessing your localhost rather than your production site.

    If you choose to use your production domain locally, I’d recommend using a browser extension like ShowIP so you can see which version you’re looking at.

    If you choose to use .dev or .local, you can easily update the domain name on your production server with this script:
