title: xip.io with MAMP Pro doesn't work
body: <p>This question has been brought up once before, but the suggested solution doesn't work for me?</p>
  
  <p>I've read through the following article (you can see my comments back and forth with the author): <a href="https://blogs.adobe.com/shadow/2012/06/19/shadow-xip-io-virtual-hosts-workflow-simplified/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://blogs.adobe.com/shadow/2012/06/19/shadow-xip-io-virtual-hosts-workflow-simplified/</a> but none of the suggestions have worked.</p>
  
  <p>To re-cap:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>I have the following ‘test’ host created in MAMP Pro:<br>
  <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/bQN0P.png" alt="mamp screenshot"></li>
  <li>I've turned off Web Sharing</li>
  <li>I’ve added ServerAlias client.*.xip.io to MAMP Pro</li>
  <li>I’ve updated the httpd.conf file (within <code>/private/etc/apache2</code>) so the virtual hosts line (<code>Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf</code>) is un-commented</li>
  <li>I’ve updated the httpd-vhosts.conf file (within <code>/private/etc/apache2/extra</code>) with the following content…</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>. </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;VirtualHost&gt;
      DocumentRoot "/path/to/files"
      ServerName test
      ServerAlias test.*.xip.io
  &lt;/VirtualHost&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>...but when I try to access the files via <a href="http://test.192.168.0.40.xip.io/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://test.192.168.0.40.xip.io/</a> I get the 'Unable to connect' error?</p>
  
  <p>Really can't understand why I can't get this working.</p>
