The easy way is to set up a webapp plist, and then just turn on that webapp for the appropriate domain (website). Here’s a sample plist. You should be able to mostly use the httpd.conf options you use behind Apache normally. http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd;>

Ive not setup apache - but what I was trying to get to is.. whatever you have done in the past for apache (and maybe I mis-read your question), just do that, the 'server' part should not make anything change. On Fri, 9 Jun 2017 12:03:05 -0700, Lee Hinde via 4D_Tech wrote: > Correct, I need
