Modify your hosts file Linux

Configurare noua (How To)

Situatie

Modifying your hosts file enables you to override the DNS for a domain, on that particular machine. This is useful when you want to test your site without the test link, prior to going live with SSL; verify that an alias site works, prior to DNS changes; and for other DNS-related reasons. Modifying your hosts file causes your local machine to look directly at the IP address specified.

    The third column contains entries for -DHCP-, broadcasthost, and localhost.

  2. Open the hosts file by typing the following line in the terminal window:
    sudo nano /private/etc/hosts
    
  3. Type your domain user password when prompted.
  4. Edit the hosts file.

    The file contains some comments (lines starting with the # symbol), and some default hostname mappings (for example, 127.0.0.1 – local host). Add your new mappings after the default mappings.

  5. Save the hosts file by pressing Control+x and answering y.
  6. Make your changes take effect by flushing the DNS cache with the following command:
    dscacheutil -flushcache
    

The new mappings should now take effect.
