Hi,

I'm trying to get a site setup on my local machine, so I can access it via the domain name, even though the DNS won't have updated.

I *know* for a fact you can update a .host file (or something similar), but I can't for the life of me find a post/page that gives you more details on this. Its really annoying me :| (got up early to work on this site, and its now 9am already!).

If anyone has any ideas, that would be much appreciated.

Cheers

I presume this is a windows box? Try doing a search for HOSTS file. It should be in your Windows system directories somewhere.

If it's a Mac or *ix I could help you out more. Let me know.

Hi,

Yeah, it was in some weird folder (c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) ... I'm used to it being in c:\windows ... thus why I wouldn't find it :|

Thats for the reply though :)
