apache server virtual host tutorial code example

Example 1: virtual host apache

# File: /etc/apache2/sites-available/domain1.com.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>

  # Server Name (domain name) and any aliases
  
  ServerName  domain1.com
  ServerAlias www.domain1.com
  
  #OPTIONAL Admin name
  ServerAdmin [email protected]


  # Index file and Document Root (where the public files are located)
  DirectoryIndex index.html
  DocumentRoot /home/demo/public_html/domain1.com/public


  # Custom log file locations, OPTIONAL:
  LogLevel warn
  ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error-mydomainname.com.log
  CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access-mydomainname.com.log combined

</VirtualHost>

# Enabling:
# sh ~ $
sudo a2ensite domain1.com # Refer to above ServerName!
# The utility may automatically suggest, but run:
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
# To restart apache!

Example 2: create a virtual host in apache

STEP 1:
# domain: DOMAIN_URL
# public: /var/www/DOMAIN_URL/public_html/public/

<VirtualHost *:80>
	# Admin email, Server Name (domain name), and any aliases
	ServerAdmin admin@DOMAIN_URL
	ServerName  DOMAIN_URL
	ServerAlias DOMAIN_URL
	
	# Index file and Document Root (where the public files are located)
	DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
	DocumentRoot /var/www/DOMAIN_URL/public_html/public/
	<Directory /var/www/DOMAIN_URL/public_html/public/>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        DirectoryIndex index.php
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all
	</Directory>
	# Log file locations
	LogLevel warn
	ErrorLog  /var/www/DOMAIN_URL/log/error.log
	CustomLog /var/www/DOMAIN_URL/log/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>


STEP 2: With our virtual host files created, we must enable them. We’ll be 
using the a2ensite tool to achieve this goal.

sudo a2ensite example.com.conf

STEP 3: When you are finished, you need to restart Apache to make these changes
take effect and use systemctl status to verify the success of the restart.

sudo systemctl restart apache2
