Try using VirtualHostX 2.0's local network sharing feature. It will let you access your hosts from inside your VM using Bonjour.

If that doesn't work for you, there are a few tutorials on the web for using VirtualHostX with Windows. A quick Google search should find them.

I've had a few users email with this same problem. In each case MAMP was able to start MySQL but not Apache, and there were no errors reported in the error logs. It turns out that there was a conflict between MAMP's Apache and Apple's built-in one. Disabling Web Sharing in System Preferences fixed the problem and allowed MAMP's Apache to start.

It sounds like Apache isn't reading in the virtual hosts that VHX created. Have you re-run the VHX Setup Wizard since you upgraded to 10.6?

Tyler Hall replied on October 26, 2009 14:30 to the idea "Custom Apache locations" in ClickOnTyler:

VHX uses /sbin/service to control the default Apache installation.

Tyler Hall replied on October 25, 2009 06:13 to the problem "VirtualHostX.xml bug or problem" in ClickOnTyler:

It's certainly possible, but I'd have to do some more testing to be sure. Thanks for reporting it.

Tyler Hall replied on October 25, 2009 00:31 to the question "What permissions does Apache need my directories set to?" in ClickOnTyler:

That's right. Apache requires that the directory (and its parent directories) be (world) readable and executable. The latest version of VirtualHostX checks for this and alerts you if it finds a problem.

Tyler Hall asked a question in ClickOnTyler on October 23, 2009 02:20:

What permissions does Apache need my directories set to?

VirtualHostX told me that the directory I chose might not have the correct permissions set. What does this mean?

Try adding your rewrite rules inside an .htaccess file instead of the directives box. That's where I place mine.

Glad it's working for you :)

Tyler Hall replied on October 22, 2009 21:19 to the question "Can I use VirtualHostX to run websites outside the Site folder?" in ClickOnTyler:

Doesn't this also require that the directory be readable and executable by the Apache user?

Tyler Hall replied on October 22, 2009 18:22 to the idea "sharing over local network and virtual OS (VirtualBox)" in ClickOnTyler:

Great tip, Greg. Thanks!

Tyler Hall replied on October 22, 2009 18:20 to the question "MAMP Apache Stops After Running the Setup Wizard" in ClickOnTyler:

Odd. Any other clues you can offer?

If you have a chance, email me a copy of your server settings. I can install them on my test machine and further diagnose the problem. (Choose "Backup Server Settings..." from the "File" menu.)

Tyler Hall replied on October 20, 2009 16:31 to the question "Can I use VirtualHostX to run websites outside the Site folder?" in ClickOnTyler:

All your sites must be nested under a single folder. That's a limitation of Apache as far as I know.

Tyler Hall replied on October 19, 2009 21:01 to the question "MAMP Apache Stops After Running the Setup Wizard" in ClickOnTyler:

Make sure you've selected MAMP to be your default web server from VHX's preferences. Then, choose "Test Configuration..." from the "Web Server" menu and let me know what errors you see.

Sorry, I don't believe you can, not until Apple adds Bonjour support to Mobile Safari.

Glad it's working.
