Question

I've added a Virtual Host to my httpd-vhosts.conf file like this

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "/website/sub"
    ServerName sub.localhost
</VirtualHost>

I also have two .htaccess files (for the moment identical), one for localhost and one for sub.localhost

website/.htaccess:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [QSA,L]

website/sub/.htaccess:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [QSA,L]

Now if I open http://sub.localhost in my Chrome it works as expected. However when I open it in Safari, Firefox or Opera I get a message basically saying that the server was not found.

What am I missing?

I think that Chrome will make some magic and resolve all subdomain of localhost to 127.0.0.1.

You have to add 127.0.0.1 sub.localhost to your host file

Linux: /etc/hosts
OSX: /private/etc/hosts
Windows: %windows%/system32/drivers/etc/hosts

Why does my subdomain only work in Chrome?
