How to make Local Lightning play nice with local installation of apache environment

Support

Before installing the new Local Lightning v5.x, I had install PHP, MySQL & Apache via Homebrew following the instruction HERE. for my local environment.

Since the previous Local by Flywheel v3.x uses Virtual Box, everything works alright for me as I do non WordPress project on the folder ~/Sites and WordPress(with Local by Flywheel) on ~/Local Sites.

On top of that I had these configuration on httpd-vhosts.conf to use folder name inside ~/Sites as the domain name without adding them in hosts file. For example, ~/Sites/example will allow me to view the url http://example.localhost on browser.

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName localhost
    ServerAlias *.localhost

    LogFormat "%V %h %t \"%r\" %s %b" vcommon
    CustomLog ~/Sites/.log/access_log vcommon
    ErrorLog ~/Sites/.log/error_log

    VirtualDocumentRoot ~/Sites/%1

    # Make php set the DOCUMENT_ROOT correctly since
    # apache doesn't set it correctly to the virtual one.
    # See https://joshbenner.me/blog/quick-tip-get-proper-document-root-when-using-mod-vhost-alias
    php_admin_value auto_prepend_file "~/Sites/.conf/setdocroot.php"

</VirtualHost>

Now the problem started when I am testing Local v5 after creating a new site, it shows these when I try to access the WordPress admin and site.

Not Found
The requested URL was not found on this server.

But the PHP project on ~/Sites is still working properly. So I went ahead and restart my system, only this time I load Local v5 first and my WordPress site works but my PHP projects get the 404 not found message by Local.

I would like to ask if anyone can point me in the right direction in getting both of the environment to work properly in concurrent. Thanks!
