The selected folder is a sub-folder of another host's document root...

I think there's a bug - selecting 2 hosts for same document root has never been an issue. In order to back out of this error message, you need to manually remove the host and re-add it.


The selected folder is a sub-folder of another host's document root ,or identical to another document root! This is not allowed.

I don't understand how to bypass the error. Every time I want to add another host to an existing Document root, the error appears.

Can somebody give me a tip with that?

Thanks

It is possible to use the same document root with multiple hostnames. This can be done via the "Aliases" option in the "General" section.

Unfortunately, I didn't get a tip in the right direction from MAMP PRO support or via a Google search.
