Setting up virtual host


WAMP or  XAMPP server lets our sites to browse by using the url:  http://localhost. For eg: http://localhost/mysite.

But we may need to test out environments which would require different domains, like http://local.server.com.


For this, we need to configure the virtual hosts file of our apache server.

These are the steps we need to configure vitual host on windows os:

1. Open vhosts.conf file. Location: xampp/apache/conf/extra
2. Add the following code at the end of the file.

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "D:\xampp\htdocs"
    ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost local.server.com:80> <!-- this is the vitual host -->
    DocumentRoot "D:\xampp\htdocs"
    ServerName local.server.com
    <Directory "D:\xampp\htdocs">
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

3. Edit the windows hosts file residing at C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts. Add the following code at the end of the file.
127.0.0.1 local.server.com

4. Save and restart apache server.

5. Now we can browse our site using the url: http://local.server.com/sitename

Changing the attribute type in Magento

Sometimes, we need to change the input type of attributes in Magento. Magento by default doesn't allow to change the input type from backend simply. We need to do this programmatically. Here is a code to change the input type from dropdown to text. $installer = new Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Setup('core_setup'); $installer->startSetup(); $iProductEntityTypeId = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->getResource()->getTypeId(); $idAttributeOldSelect = $installer->getAttributeId($iProductEntityTypeId, 'manufacturer'); $installer->updateAttribute($iProductEntityTypeId, $idAttributeOldSelect, array(     'frontend_input' => 'text' )); $installer->endSetup(); Finally, we need to remove the old values or they will conflict with the new setup. DELETE FROM catalog_product_entity_int WHERE entity_type_id = 4 and attribute_id = YOUR_ATTRIBUTE_ID_HERE; Cheers!!
