Hosts File

The hosts file is located at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc and is used to translate domains names to IP addresses. This is used locally on your system so your YetaWF instance can be accessed using a domain name, instead of "localhost" or an IP address. Entries in your hosts file only allow your development system to access the domain. It has no effect outside your development system.

    127.0.0.1    mydomain.com

If you want to temporarily access your real site (i.e., on the web) you can comment out the entry in the hosts file using "#":

#   127.0.0.1    mydomain.com
