I have a question regarding the setup of a local testing server. I want to make sure my local test server mirrors my live server setup as close as possible.
I've setup my local testing site at...
localhost.localdomain/example.com/wp-admin/index.php
example.com is the main domain for the test site network. I want to run several other websites/blogs using subdomins such as testsite1.example.com, testsite2.example.com, etc.
Now, when I create a new blog in WPMU for my example.com site, it's created at testsite1.localhost.localdomain/example.com/
How can I set this up so that example.com is the domain being utilized instead of localhost.localdomain?
Should I create my local WPMU install on the root level of my XAMPP installation (directly in the /htdocs/ directory?
Any assistance/direction is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Ryan
