Apache Virtual Server

Apache comes with a default virtual host file called 000-default.conf that we’ll use as a template. We’ll copy it over to create a virtual host file for each of our domains.

Create the First virtual host file §

Example

sudo cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/example.com.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin admin@example.com
    ServerName example.com
    ServerAlias www.example.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/example.com/public_html
    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Enable the new virtual host files. §

sudo a2ensite example.com.conf
sudo a2dissite 000-default.conf

Restart §

sudo systemctl restart apache2
