How do I get gulp + browsersync to work an apache

问题:

I'd like to add gulp, sass and browsersync to my toolkit. I'm now running gulp with a sass and browsersync task configured.

I'm skinning a php app running from a vhost on my local apache server.

I'm attempting to run browsersync from a watch task, using the browsersync's proxy option to use my vhost.

Currently, when I run the watch no server can be found on port 3000. If I navigate to 'localhost:3000' I get chromes 'no web page found' message.

If I navigate to port 3001 I can access browsersync's admin UI. So I know that browsersync is running.

My gulp conf is as follows

/* load plugins */
var gulp = require('gulp'),
    sass = require('gulp-ruby-sass'),
    browsersync  = require('browser-sync') ;

/*
*  define tasks
*/

gulp.task('sass', function() {
    return sass('assets/sass/main.sass') ;        
}) ;


/*
*  browsersync conf
*/

gulp.task('browser-sync', function() {
    browsersync({
    proxy: 'localhost',
    port: '3000'
    });
});

gulp.task('browsersync-reload', function () {
    browsersync.reload();
});

gulp.task('watch', ['browser-sync'], function () {
  gulp.watch('assets/sass/**/*', ['css']);
});


/* Default task */
gulp.task('default', ['sass'], function() {
    gulp.watch("assets/sass/**.*", ['sass']);
});

If you have installed apache (sample with mamp) you must configure the port at 8080

My config:

 browserSync.init({
      open: 'external',
      host: 'local.dev',
      proxy: 'local.dev',
      port: 8080 // for work mamp
});

BrowserSync "proxy" options should be pointing to where your apache host is serving your app, not where you want to access it.

For example, if I'm running a ruby server on localhost:9000 I would point that in proxy option and access via browser through the url that browsersync will output to me via the commandline

use this instead, add vhost e.g. mysite.local

then

gulp.task('server', function() {
     browserSync.init({
        proxy: "mysite.local"
    });
});
