Here are the simple steps to make virtual hosts on Apache in Ubuntu OS.
For example purpose, I am assuming that you are going to create a virtual host for “xyz.com”.
Let’s began. The first thing that you need to create a directory to hold and serve project files.
sudo mkdir -p /var/www/xyz.com/html |
Now give permissions to it. the above directory is owned by root user now. We should change the ownership of this directory to the regular user.
|
The “$USER” variable indicates the currently logged in user. Set the read permissions to the webroot (/var/www/xyz.com/html) directory, so that everyone can read files from that directory.
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/pravih.com/html |
Now clone the default Apache configuration and create xyz.com.conf file.
$ sudo cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/xyz.com.conf
Open the new configuration file and update the values for the ServerName, ServerAlias, and DocumentRoot. Where ServerName is the virtual hostname and the ServerAlias is the www version. The DocumentRoot is the absolute path to the directory where your project is stored.
|
Next, enable the new virtual host configuration. If you want to disable virtual host configuration use a2dissite instead of a2ensite.
$ sudo a2ensite xyz.com.conf |
Lastly, add it to the hosts file.
$ sudo nano /etc/hosts |
And add the virtual host domains one by one as shown below.
127.0.0.1 xyz.com
127.0.0.1 www.xyz.com
Last step but very important step restart Apache.
