Answer 1

You can try creating a virtual host like explained here.

You have to edit

/etc/apache2/httpd.conf

and

/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

Answer 2

You could edit your /etc/hosts file and add an alias, but you'd still have to add the path if there's no root index.

I tried this in my hosts file and it worked perfectly.

127.0.0.1      myweb

You'll also need to flush your DNS cache with a

sudo killall mDNSResponder
