Extra

If you don't want to be messing around with the /etc/hosts file do yourself a favor and install Ghost

NOTES

Only tested with apache2 installed using Mac Ports. This is a very poor's man solution to this problem. Feel free to improve it or to point me to a better one.

This is my first Bash project so it might make you cry if you are a serious Bash user.
