This passage will show you how to add a virtual host with Apache on Ubuntu.
yoursite.local.conf
First of all, cd to
/etc/apache2/sites-available/
then copy the
000-default.conf
file and rename to yoursite.local.conf.
Then use
sudo nano yoursite.local.conf
to edit your config file.
In the file, just add
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/yoursite
ServerName yoursite.local
ServerAlias yoursite.local
After have modified the
yoursite.local.conf
file, it should be something like this:
The config file will be something like this
<VirtualHost yoursite.local:>
# The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that
# the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
# redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
# specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
# match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
# value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
# However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.
#ServerName www.example.com
ServerAdmin [email protected]
DocumentRoot /var/www/yoursite
ServerName yoursite.local
ServerAlias yoursite.local
# Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,
# error, crit, alert, emerg.
# It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular
# modules, e.g.
#LogLevel info ssl:warn
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
# For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are
# enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to
# include a line for only one particular virtual host. For example the
# following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only
# after it has been globally disabled with "a2disconf".
#Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf
</VirtualHost>
Then modify the first line to
<VirtualHost yoursite.local:80>
.
It allows Apache to listen to the 80 port for
yoursite.local
.
Then, use
sudo nano 000-default.conf
to modify the default virtual host file.
The only thing we should do is that we change
<VirtualHost *:80>
to
<VirtualHost localhost:80>
. So that it will only listen for localhost but not every site.
Enable the virtual host
After that, type
sudo a2ensite yoursite.local.conf
to enable the virtual host for your site.
Add your site to host file
use
sudo nano /etc/hosts
to edit host file. Add
127.0.0.1 yoursite.local
to the end of file so that you can redirect
yoursite.local
to
127.0.0.1
.
Restart Apache
Type
sudo service apache2 restart
to restart the Apache server.
After doing that, you should be able to type
yoursite.local
in the browser to browse files in
/var/www/yoursite
.
Change file rights
If you have the following error,
Fatal error: filecache_directory is not configured correctly. Please read /var/www/html/souvenirfrancais/lazarus-api/drupal/sites/all/modules/contrib/filecache/README.txt.
Hint: <em class="placeholder">/var/www/html/souvenirfrancais/lazarus-api/drupal/sites/default/files/.ht.filecache</em> is directory but PHP cannot write to it.
you should type
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data yousite/
to change the owner.
