I wanted to host one website in local Network.(it is not accessed by out side the network)
i install apache server.
how can i create own domain name for that(i don't want buy any domain name).
it is my virtual host file
ServerName testing.com
ServerAlias www.testing.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/testing.com/public_html
It works only when i put localhost as serverName
locahost file
127.0.0.1 somedomain.com

I have a cloud server with lampp installed on. I had configured a virtual host here like that:
<VirtualHost xx.xxx.xx.xxx:80>
DocumentRoot "/opt/lampp/htdocs/folder/"
ServerName www.xxx.com
</VirtualHost>
and everything work as i expect, if i go to www.xxx.com i see my 'folder' site.
Now i need to work to another site present on the same server, but it doesn't allready have a domain, so i had imagine (by reading the apache's configuration file explanation)that i have to do it in this way:
<VirtualHost xx.xxx.xx.xxx:80>
DocumentRoot "/opt/lampp/htdocs/folder/"
ServerName www.xxx.com
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost xx.xxx.xx.xxx:80/test>
DocumentRoot "/opt/lampp/htdocs/test/"
</VirtualHost>
But it doesn't work, if i do http://xx.xxx.xx.xxx:80 i reach the 'folder' site while if i do http://xx.xxx.xx.xxx:80/test rather the reach the 'test' site i still reach www.xxx.com, why? How could i reach this objective?
The virtual host defined first (top most) acts as default host. That one is used to respond to any incoming requests that are not matched by a specific host name in the request.
You want to try this setup:
# some fallback host for testing and development
<VirtualHost xx.xxx.xx.xxx:80>
DocumentRoot "/opt/lampp/htdocs/_default"
</VirtualHost>
# a virtual host with a specific host name
<VirtualHost xx.xxx.xx.xxx:80>
DocumentRoot "/opt/lampp/htdocs/example.com"
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias www.example.com
</VirtualHost>
(here xx.xxx.xx.xxx stands for the systems public and routable IPV4 address)
In your file system you have this hierarchy:
/opt/lampp/htdocs/
_default/
test1/
test2/
example.com/
This way requests to http://example.com or http://www.example.com are mapped to the folder /opt/lampp/htdocs/example.com, requests to URLs with any other host name to the default folder /opt/lampp/htdocs/_default in which you now can create as many sub folders as you like for different applications.
Another approach would be to use other host names below your existing domain name for internal tests, so something like test1.example.com or similar. That way you do not have to use raw IP addresses with their routing risk.
I want to have two webapps (webapp1 and webapp2 resident under /var/www/html/webapps/), both using PHP and JSP, running on the same machine:
Apache 2.4
Tomcat 7.0.50 (+APJ connector)
and want to make them accessible through the following URLs (with identical IP and ports):
localhost/webapp1
localhost/webapp2
I am aware of Virtual Hosts facility. The problem is that Apache seems to "see" only the first site available: whenever I look for localhost/webapp2, I get a 'Not Found' error. Note that if I look for "localhost:8080/webapp2" (i.e., bypassing apache2) everything works fine.
Each webapp has its own conf file under sites-available directory. For example, in webapp2.conf I have
JkMountCopy On
JkMount /webapp2/* tomcat_worker
How can I solve?
From the documentation
Note
Creating virtual host configurations on your Apache server does not magically cause DNS entries to be created for those host names. You must have the names in DNS, resolving to your IP address, or nobody else will be able to see your web site. You can put entries in your hosts file for local testing, but that will work only from the machine with those hosts entries.
Listen 80
Listen 8080
<VirtualHost 172.20.30.40:80>
ServerName www.example.com
DocumentRoot "/www/domain-80"
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 172.20.30.40:8080>
ServerName www.example.com
DocumentRoot "/www/domain-8080"
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 172.20.30.40:80>
ServerName www.example.org
DocumentRoot "/www/otherdomain-80"
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 172.20.30.40:8080>
ServerName www.example.org
DocumentRoot "/www/otherdomain-8080"
</VirtualHost>
If you want additional help, show us your configuration files related.
So lets say I have the Domain Name "www.example.com" and have a "http-redirect" to server "1.1.1.1" where apache2 is running on Ubuntu 14.04 Server amd64.
I have all my web files on the server and they are working perfect.
What is not working right is the URL. Instead of "www.example.com/sites.php" if have "1.1.1.1/sites.php". How can I fix this?
What I did so far:
Disabled the default Virtual Host and created a new one:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin bla
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias www.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www
ErrorLog ...
CustomLog ...
</VirtualHost>
(It's typed, since I can't copy from my console..)
I tried to enter in the /etc/hosts
1.1.1.1 www.example.com
Thanks for any help
As discussed in comments, the reason that you see IP address in your browser is that http-redirect is pointing directly to to IP address, there's no domain name to display. Redirect just tells browser to go elsewhere and browser then fetches website from supplied URL, same as if you'd click on a link. If you redirect URL to 1.1.1.1/sites.php than that is what you will see in browser.
I'm trying to configure my new domain name to my home server running apache. I've set up httpd.conf in apache, so that I can access my website from the domain name on the web, the problem is that when I go to the domain name, the browser address changes to my server IP. The httpd.conf stuff I've set is:
#VIRTUAL DocumentRoot
#VIRTUAL ServerName
#VIRTUAL ServerAdmin
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin ***
DocumentRoot "***"
ServerName ***
</VirtualHost>
On the domain side, I have an HTTP redirect to my server public IP. Can someone point me on the direction of what is supposed to be configured differently, thanks.
turns out I needed to find and edit the 'A Record' for my domain name provider, hidden away in advanced settings...changing from the domain provider IP to my server IP
I am currently trying to configure the Virtual Host (Subdomain) of my Apache HTTP Server so it can be accessed with another computer on my LAN. The current setup of Apache with PHP and MySQL works locally on the same physical machine.
So I have two Virtual Host setup (development and cms) running on a non-default port of 50080. The machine of the server have a IP of 10.0.0.10. From the same physical machine, I can access the two Virtual Host using:
development.localhost:50080
cms.localhost:50080
From a different physical machine, I can access the root of the server using:
10.0.0.10:50080
But I cannot or do not know how to access the Virtual Host from the different machine. I tried something like:
development.10.0.0.10:50080
cms.10.0.0.10:50080
But they do not seem to work.
Here's how my httpd-vhosts file looks like:
NameVirtualHost *:50080
<VirtualHost *:50080>
DocumentRoot "C:/www/HTTP"
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:50080>
ServerAdmin administrator#development.localhost
DocumentRoot "C:/www/HTTP/development"
ServerName development.localhost
ErrorLog "logs/development.localhost-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/development.localhost-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>
I read some of the other post here and the Apache forum, but there's not exact case for this.
I was wondering how I can access the Virtual Host (Subdomain) from another machine and keep the same port if possible.
Thanks in advance
Ok, I figured it out, here are the configuration if anyone else is looking for this:
==================================================================================
Machine A (Apache HTTP Server):
httpd-vhost:
NameVirtualHost *:50080
<VirtualHost *:50080>
DocumentRoot "C:/www/HTTP"
ServerName localhost
ServerAlias alias <!-- Added -->
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:50080>
ServerAdmin administrator#development.localhost
DocumentRoot "C:/www/HTTP/development"
ServerName development.localhost
ServerAlias development.phoenix <!-- Added -->
ErrorLog "logs/development.localhost-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/development.localhost-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>
hosts:
127.0.0.1 development.localhost
127.0.0.1 alias
127.0.0.1 development.alias
==================================================================================
Machine B (Guest Machine):
hosts:
10.0.0.10 alias
10.0.0.10 development.alias
From the second machine, you should be able to access with "alias" and "development.alias"
I suggest making the following change (add the ServerAlias lines):
NameVirtualHost *:50080
<VirtualHost *:50080>
DocumentRoot "C:/www/HTTP"
ServerName localhost
ServerAlias cms.myserver.com
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:50080>
ServerAdmin administrator#development.localhost
DocumentRoot "C:/www/HTTP/development"
ServerName development.localhost
ServerAlias development.myserver.com
ErrorLog "logs/development.localhost-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/development.localhost-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>
Restart Apache to ensure the changes take effect.
Then on your second computer you need to add a custom dns entry for these new domain names. If it is Windows, edit the file c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts. If it is Linux, edit /etc/hosts. Either way add:
10.0.0.10 development.myserver.com
10.0.0.10 cms.myserver.com
Now on your second computer you should be able to access the following URLs:
http://development.myserver.com:50080
http://cms.myserver.com:50080
Unless I'm missing something, you'll need to either set up DNS entries, or add entries to the /etc/hosts file of each computer accessing the server.
localhost is an entry that exists in everyone's /etc/hosts file by default, always pointing to 127.0.0.1. Without adding a /etc/hosts entry, developer.localhost doesn't exist, and prefixing an ip address with a subdomain won't work at all.
Using a SSH + Putty tunnel, and thus having a 127.0.0.1 on my server, I managed to access my subdomains by doing the following on my server side:
# nano /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
127.0.0.1 sub1.domain.com sub2.domain.com sub3.domain.com sub4.domain.com
I did not change the host file of the remote computer, and it works like a charm
For Named Virtual Hosts you need to use a hostname or domainname to connect to you apache server. It does not work with ips.
You could insert an entry in your /etc/hosts on your second system.
