I'm running a http server on Debian (Apache 2) with one IP address. I have few domains and SVN running on the server as well. At the moment I have configuration that points my domains to the correct folders on my server with VirtualHosts.
I have done all my VirtualHosts configurations only in the file called "/etc/apache2/sites-available/default". Is this the correct way to do it, or should I make a new file for every website I'm running on my server?
At this moment, my VirtuaHosts file (/etc/apache2/sites-available/default) looks like this:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.domain1.com
ServerAlias domain1.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/domain1
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.domain2.com
ServerAlias domain2.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/domain2
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName svn.myhostname.com
DocumentRoot /var/svn
<Directory /var/svn/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
<Location />
DAV svn
SVNParentPath /var/svn
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Subversion"
AuthUserFile /etc/subversion/svn-auth
Require valid-user
</Location>
LogLevel warn
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/svn.error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/svn.access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
There is no 'correct' way. You could also make an extra file for every Vhost. I for example have all my VHosts in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf and included it via Include httpd.conf in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf.
But if you want it to be a bit structured you CAN use the Apache2 built in VHosts System in /etc/apache/sites-availible/ with multiple files for every site (VHost).
If you want you could use nano /etc/apache2/sites-availible/mypage1 and then activate or deactivete it via the a2ensite command. Like a2ensite mypage1.

I am trying to run site my.com locally on XAMPP's apache server. Here my configurations in httpd-vhosts.conf file in the path ...\XAMPP\apache\conf\extra:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "D:/IDEs/XAMPP/htdocs"
ServerName localhost
<Directory "D:/IDEs/XAMPP/htdocs">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "D:/IDEs/Websites/my.com"
ServerName my.com
<Directory "D:/IDEs/Websites/my.com">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Also, I remembered to add two lines in the hosts file, with is located in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 my.com
However, when I enter via link 'my.com' with enabled apache server, I've got only page with folder directories, which are in htdocs XAMPP's folder.
I have checked a lot of videos and stackoverflow questions, but nothing helped.
I would be pleased if you could help me with solving this issue.
first you should arrange directories on httpd.conf
example:
<Directory "C:/SERVER~1/web/site1">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
<Directory "C:/SERVER~1/web/site2">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
and then arrange vhosts.conf like this
example :
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.site1.com
DocumentRoot "C:/SERVER~1/web/site1"
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName site1.com
DocumentRoot "C:/SERVER~1/web/site1"
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.site2.com
DocumentRoot "C:/SERVER~1/web/site2"
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName site2.com
DocumentRoot "C:/SERVER~1/web/site2"
</VirtualHost>
After five days-night of reading, searching, trying, I finnally fould the solution and done it in some steps:
First of all, forget about every file, and concentrate on the httpd-ssl.conf which is located in D:\IDEs\XAMPP\apache\conf\extra.
Second:
find the line "SSL Virtual Host Context" which has been commented. And below, find the line <VirtualHost _default_:443>.or simmilar. Then change it to <VirtualHost *:443>.
Third, change document root to the path of xampp's htdocs, for example, "D:/XAMPP/htdocs". Also, change ServerName from www.example.com:443 or similar, to localhost.
Here we done.
And Finally, after line </VirtualHost>, insert code
<VirtualHost *:443>
DocumentRoot "D:/IDEs/Websites/my.com"
ServerName my.com
<Directory "D:/IDEs/Websites/my.com">
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Change Document Root and Directory paths to your website location. And Servername to your server name.
RESTART APACHE
it works for me.
I also understood than some website uses SSL on localhost while the others not.
SO if you have exception like Apache/2.4.37 (Win32) OpenSSL/1.0.2p PHP/7.0.33 Server at my.com Port 443 you shold add your virtualhost configs into httpd-ssl.conf file.
If you got like ... Port 80 add yourl virtualhost configs into httpd-vhosts.conf
everybody.
I have a Cent OS 6.6 server with Apache + mod_php site (site1.local). I need to configure second site (site2.local) with php_cgi. So, I created a user, gave him permissions on www-folder, configured site1 as mod_php, created a phpinfo.php. Also, I installed php-cgi,and try to configure virtual hosts, works only first site, on the second site is error:
the requested url /cgi-bin/phpinfo.php was not found onthis server.
That's my configs:
cat /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#site1.local
DocumentRoot /var/www/wwwmaster/site1.local
ServerName site1.local
ServerAlias www.site1.local
ErrorLog logs/site1.local-error_log
CustomLog logs/site1.local-access_log common
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#site2.local
DocumentRoot /var/www/wwwmaster/site2.local
ServerName site2.local
ServerAlias www.site2.local
ScriptAlias /cgi_bin/ /usr/bin/php-cgi/
Action php-cgi /cgi-bin
AddHandler php-cgi php
<Directory /usr/bin/php-cgi>
Allow from all
</Directory>
<Directory "/var/www/wwwmaster/site2.local/">
<FilesMatch "\.php">
SetHandler php-cgi
</FilesMatch>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog logs/site2.local-error_log
CustomLog logs/site2.local-access_log common
</VirtualHost>
What I've done wrong and how can I fix that?
You only have to uncomment the line that says NameVirtualServer *:80 in your apache config file.
If you want virtual server for more than one port, simply put as many NameVirtualServer *:[port number] in the apache config file as you need.
I need to install a server with Apache 2.2 on Linux and I need to do two VirtualHosts differentiated by URI.
But with only one domain name and one ip address. And I can't use Alias.
I tried something like that but that doesn't work :
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/app1
ServerName localhost/app1
ServerAlias www.localhost/app1
<Directory /var/www/app1>
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/app2
ServerName localhost/app2
ServerAlias www.localhost/app2
<Directory /var/www/app2>
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Thank you to the first answer here, it's working : https://serverfault.com/questions/588841/two-apps-on-apache-server-with-uri
I put the answer here if one day the link doesn't work :
What you could do is set up a reverse proxy to different virtual hosts listening only on loopback.
You would get in your www.localhost virtualhost:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/
ServerName localhost
ServerAlias www.localhost
ProxyPassReverse /app1/ http://webapp1.local/
ProxyPassReverse /app2/ http://webapp2.local/
</Virtualhost>
And create two virtualhosts for the apps:
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/app1
ServerName webapp1.local
<Directory /var/www/app1>
Allow from all
</Directory>
</Virtualhost>
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/app2
ServerName webapp2.local
<Directory /var/www/app2>
Allow from all
</Directory>
</Virtualhost>
Make sure to add webapp1.local and webapp2.local to your /etc/hosts file.
Since you have only a single domain name and only a single ip address available there is no means for the apache server to distinguish which host is meant. Therefore there is noo sense in defining VirtualHosts here.
However you certainly can place two apps in separate folders inside your DocumentRoot:
ServerName whatever-your-domain.is
DocumentRoot /var/www
<Directory /var/www/app1>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/app2>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Then you'd call those apps by their paths:
apps1: http://whatever-your-domain.is/app1
apps2: http://whatever-your-domain.is/app2
Don't forget to take care of requests to the "main folder" of that single host: /var/www which can be reached by http://whatever-your-domain.is/
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files (x86)/Ampps/www"
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files (x86)/Ampps/www/proj"
ServerName proj.local
</VirtualHost>
How do I bind a specific "domain" (virtual host domain) to one location? Above points proj.local to localhost as well.
As you said you are using AMPPS, I suppose you are adding this instructions to the folder:
AMPPS/apache/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
With that in mind I'll show an example of configuration.
<VirtualHost project.local:80>
<Directory "/Users/you/yourproject">
Options FollowSymLinks Indexes
AllowOverride All
Order deny,allow
allow from All
</Directory>
ServerName project.local
ServerAlias project.local 127.0.0.1
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/Users/you/yourproject/cgi-bin/"
DocumentRoot "/Users/you/yourproject"
ErrorLog "/Applications/AMPPS/apache/logs/project.error_log"
CustomLog "/Applications/AMPPS/apache/logs/project.access.log" combined
</VirtualHost>
All right. After doing that, you will have to add to your hosts file. In Mac they are located in:
/etc/hosts
If you are using a Windows environment you will find the hosts file in:
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Attention: You may have to type your password again or allow the program you're using to edit the file to use administrator privileges.
Then you'll add your local IP and the hostname to it. Just like this:
127.0.0.1 project.local
If you don't add the URL to the hosts file that won't work.
Have you tried with <VirtualHOst proj.local:80>? You should be able to find more examples here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/examples.html
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
DocumentRoot "C:\xampp\htdocs"
ServerName xampp.local
ServerAlias www.xampp.local
</VirtualHost>
after adding it at the end of your httpd-vhosts.conf file restart your xampp and also add following lines to your hosts file available at C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts
127.0.0.1 xampp.local
My hosts file. (Win 7 ultimate)
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 efmm.local
My httpd-vhosts.conf (XAMPP 1.7.3)
NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
DocumentRoot "C:\xampp\htdocs"
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost efmm.local>
DocumentRoot "C:\xampp\htdocs\EFMM"
ServerName efmm.local
ErrorLog "logs/efmm.localhost-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/efmm.localhost-access.log" combined
<Directory "C:\xampp\htdocs\EFMM">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Problem
When I go to efmm.local , the browser redirects to localhost/EFMM.
I also tried <VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80> instead of <VirtualHost efmm.local>, same result.
Here's how I do it on XP (don't expect it to make any difference in 7)
First, add the virtual host's domain to your HOST (as you did)
I don't put the virtual host webroot under the main htdocs directory. I create a specific webroot next to it, which gives me the following tree:
C:\XAMPP\htdocs
C:\XAMPP\htdocs-seconddomain
C:\XAMPP\htdocs-thirddomain
etc..
So in your case, I would create c:\XAMPP\htdocs-efmm alongside C:\XAMPP\htdocs
Then:
Edit XAMPP's httpd.conf, add and define any Apache options for the new document root, i.e.:
<Directory "C:/XAMPP/htdocs-efmm">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
[any extra apache module instructions you may require]
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Edit XAMPP's httpd-vhosts.conf, adding the virtual host:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName efmm.local
ServerAlias www.efmm.local
DocumentRoot "C:/XAMPP/htdocs-efmm"
ErrorLog "C:/XAMPP/htdocs-efmm/error.log"
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm
</VirtualHost>
Restart XAMPP. You may browse your new virtual host now.
