Apache Virtual Hosting

Virtual Hosting

Change directories to the sites-enabled directory.

$cd /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/

Create your configuration file

$sudo vi example.com.conf

Add the following;

<VirtualHost dev.example.com>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    ServerAlias www.dev.example.com
    DocumentRoot /home/user/public_html/example.com
    ScriptAlias /awstats/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/example.com-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Create a link in sites-available

$sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/example.com.conf example.com.conf

Edit /etc/hosts so that you can use a named server for development.

$sudo vi /etc/hosts

Find the line that starts with 127.0.0.1 when you finished it should look something like this.

127.0.0.1 localhost dev.example.com

Reload Apache.

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
