How to setup Apache Virtualhost

The term Virtual Host refers to the practice of maintaining more than one web site on one Apache machine or server.

Go to your apache configuration files:

cd /etc/apache2/sites-available

Create a configuration file for your new site. For an example site, http://www.hello.com:

vim hello.com

Add this content to the hello.com file

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin me@myserver
DocumentRoot /var/www/hello_webroot/
ServerName www.hello.com
ServerAlias hello.com *.hello.com
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/example.com.log combined
</VirtualHost>

you can also customize to make the log inside webroot

Activate the site by issuing the following command

sudo a2ensite  hello.com

Now reload Apache

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

or

sudo service apache2 restart

And youre done 🙂

How to Reinstall apache2 properly in GNU/Linux

If you have issues with apache2 and you want to reinstall it but you are getting errors,then here it isthe solution for you.

i had an issue with apache, when i tried to start it i got this error message.

 /etc/init.d/apache2   start.: 45: Can't open /etc/apache2/envvars

i need to remove it completely.To do that i will use this command :

 sudo apt-get remove --purge apache2 apache2-utils

This command will completely remove all apache2 configuration files and directories.
– Reinstall again apache using the normal command

sudo apt-get install apache2

installed phpmyadmin, but i get “404 not found”

I installed PhpMyAdmin on my Ubuntu 10.04  but when I came to test it out I couldn’t get it to work: I just got a 404 Not Found page instead of the PhpMyadmin login page.  I searched the web and found out a soltion.A small hack must be done on apache’s confighuration file to solve this problem .Edit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

vim /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

Add this to the bottom of the file

Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf

then restart apache as root.

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
