AnQiCMS Local Basic Overview

To simulate a real online environment locally and support multi-site management and beautiful pseudo-static URLs, we usually rely on local integrated development environment software, such as the Small Skin panel (phpStudy) or the Windows version of Baota software, which can conveniently provide us with Web server (Nginx or Apache) and hosts file management features.

Configure the local Hosts file to support multiple site domains

When testing multiple sites locally, the web browser needs to know how to access these 'virtual' domain names. Since these domain names do not actually exist on public DNS servers, we need to modify the localhostsFiles, map them to the local loopback address127.0.0.1.

hostsFiles are usually located:C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts.
