Adding a custom domain name in PhpStudy requires two steps: 1) Modify the hosts file, add records such as "127.0.0.1 www.mydomain.com", ensure that the file is saved with administrator permissions; 2) Configure the Apache virtual host, add the virtual host configuration block in the httpd-vhosts.conf file, and restart Apache to make the configuration take effect.

Adding a custom domain name is a common requirement when using PhpStudy, especially when doing local development and testing. By setting a custom domain name, you can more conveniently access your project, simulate the online environment, and improve development efficiency. So, how to add a custom domain name in PhpStudy? Let's dive into this process in depth.

The first thing to understand is that adding a custom domain name involves two main steps: modifying the hosts file and configuring the Apache virtual host. Each step has its own unique details and precautions. I will introduce these two steps in detail below and share some of my experiences and tips in actual operation.

When modifying hosts files, make sure you are using administrator rights, otherwise the file may not be saved. The hosts file is located in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc directory. In this file, you need to add a line of records similar to 127.0.0.1 www.mydomain.com . Here www.mydomain.com is the custom domain name you want to use. Remember, don't forget to save the file, otherwise all modifications will be invalid.

Next is to configure Apache's virtual host. In PhpStudy, you can find the httpd-vhosts.conf file in D:\phpStudy\Apache\conf\vhosts directory. This file is the configuration file used by Apache to manage virtual hosts. At the end of the file, you can add a new virtual host configuration block, similar to:

 <VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName www.mydomain.com
    DocumentRoot "D:/phpStudy/WWW/myproject"
    <Directory "D:/phpStudy/WWW/myproject">
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

In this configuration block, ServerName is the domain name you just set in the hosts file, and DocumentRoot is the directory where your project is located. After configuration, don't forget to restart the Apache service to make the configuration take effect.

In practice, I found a common problem: If your PhpStudy version is older, you may encounter situations where the virtual host configuration file cannot take effect. At this time, you need to check the httpd.conf file to make sure that the line Include conf/vhosts/*.conf is included. If not, you need to manually add this line and restart the Apache service.

Another point to note is that if you have issues with SSL certificates when using custom domain names, you might consider using Let's Encrypt to generate a free SSL certificate. PhpStudy supports automatic generation and update of SSL certificates through Certbot, which can greatly simplify your workflow.

In terms of performance optimization, after adding a custom domain name, you can consider using Apache's mod_rewrite module to optimize URL rewrite rules, which can improve website access speed and SEO effect. For example, you can add the following rules to your .htaccess file:

 RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]

This rule can redirect all requests to index.php , enabling more flexible URL management.

In general, adding a custom domain name may seem simple, but the details and potential issues involved need to be handled carefully. Through the introduction of this article, I hope you can complete this process more smoothly and continuously optimize and improve it in practical applications.
