CodeIgniter site on Virtual Host on Mac without MAMP - macos

I’m keen to find out if there is a way of properly run virtual hosts on a Mac with apache without having to use things like MAMP or WAMP.
I have managed to get it to work for a small single page site and it worked seemlessly - However I am having no luck with trying to run a CodeIgniter frameworked site that way.
I would love to hear from anyone who has managed to carry this out successfully. Please let me know!
Thanks a lot.

My advice would be Laravel Valet, which is intended for Laravel, but works well with other frameworks. Support for CodeIgniter is not built-in, but you can always write your own custom driver, or use someone's driver like this written by Github user #rcubitto

PacketStream Explanation

I have recently seen a website called PacketStream. I downloaded it and ran it for a bit. Then I wondered, how they bought their data from people. I always thought you needed port forwarding for proxies to work but how does PacketStream get a work-around for this?
Thanks in advance.

Shopify: Testing on Localhost in windows

I've been trying for a while now to find any solution to try and test shopify themes on localhost so I don't screw up a live site I'm going to be maintaining. The only thing I can even remotely find is Vision, but it's only for Mac OS. I can download the theme I need, but I can't seem to find out a way to get it to load through localhost. Any ideas? Or is this a fruitless search?
For at least 5 years all the cool kids have been developing themes using newer options like for example the lightweight Ruby scripts in the serve gem as one example. Or using any static site generator with something like Pow. IMHO it is a very last resort to use WAMP or LAMP for any kind of theme generation development cycle. Not least because theme generation does NOT require any database.
Its not what your asking for, but its a nice alternative / plugin if you use Sublime Text Editor:

You can create a developers account here: http://www.shopify.com/partners for creating 'test' stores.
This allows you to edit the files locally and they are pushed live to your test store.

AJAX works online but not on my computer

I've been having problems testing AJAX on my computer, the code works fine online but not on my system, is there something I am missing?
I've had this problem with pretty much any kind of AJAX and even some javascript code. I know the code itself is correctly since it's functioning online as intended, but why wouldn't run on my PC? Everything I am trying to do is basic coding, no database, or advanced functions of any kind, simple interface changes and such.
I don't have any specific code to post since its a general problem i'm having, but any thoughts are appreciated. Could it be a document type issue? I tried blank and a couple of others but none seemed to matter.
Ill bet that you are having a same origin policy issue. If you are loading the page by going to localhost:<port>/app and then your javascript tries to go to anywhere other than localhost the browser will stop it for violating the policy.
I have had strange problems testing AJAX locally before. To fix this I install ultidev's Cassini web server and run the application on that and it seems to work.
You need to set up a webserver with either php running or something like it. A desktop PC is not a web server by default.

Has anyone been able to install Retrospectiva on a Windows machine?

I've been looking into some bug trackers and Retrospectiva seems like a good tool. However, I am having all sorts of trouble installing it on my machine. I followed the guide on their site (http://retrospectiva.org/tickets/357) but it hasn't helped much and there don't seem to be a lot of users on their site that work with Windows.
I am wondering if any of the SO users have any experience working with Retrospectiva.
I've successfully install Retrospectiva using Robert Heim's guide.
