Some Final Notes on Apache

There are numerous features you can utilize to create a mirror test environment to your production Apache Web servers. Take some time to peruse the httpd.conf file, which contains substantial documentation that can assist you in enabling features like server side includes.

In addition, while we're specifically discussing setting up OS X as a localhost Web server in this piece, you should note that it only takes a few steps to serve a Website directly from your workstation to the Internet for collaboration or testing activities. There are 2 pieces to this puzzle, assuming you have access to a static IP address and a broadband connection.

If you prefer to use a fully qualified domain name or sub-domain (i.e. test.domain.com), you will need to insure DNS service is pointing to your static IP address on your local workstation.

You will need to go into the System Preferences, select the Sharing pane, and ensure the "Network Address" section of this screen is correctly filled in with a publicly accessible IP address. Then stop and start Personal Web Sharing to restart Apache.
A good beginning makes a good ending
