If you put something like this in either /etc/http.conf or /etc/apache2/sites-available/default


NameVirtualHost 192.168.0.3

<VirtualHost 192.168.0.3>
    ServerAdmin webmaster at caro
    DocumentRoot /path/to/your/local/web/folder
    ServerName hostname
    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /path/to/your/local/web/folder/cgi-bin/
    ErrorLog /path/to/your/local/web/logs/error_log
    CustomLog /path/to/your/local/web/logs/access_log common
</VirtualHost>
<Directory /path/to/your/local/web/folder>
    Options +Includes
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
</Directory>
