Versionsunterschiede von Test Server / Setting Up Virtual Hosts

hinzugefügt:

The usage of virtual hosts in XAMPP is the practice of running more than one web site (that targets local resources) on a single machine.
Virtual hosts are IP-based, meaning that you have a different IP address for every web site, or "name-based", meaning that you have multiple names running on each IP address. This practice using XAMPP comes in handy when you want to simulate a production environment (however working in dev environment) locally accessing to your project by a normal URL in the browser.

Allow virtual hosts

By default, XAMPP won't use the httpd-vhosts.conf file (the location of the virtual hosts), therefore we need to indicate that this file will be included during the runtime of Apache.

The usage of virtual hosts in Apache Configuration is the practice of running more than one web site (that targets local resources) on a single machine.
Virtual hosts are IP-based, meaning that you have a different IP address for every web site, or "name-based", meaning that you have multiple names running on each IP address. This practice using Apache2 on OpenSuse comes in handy when you want to simulate a production environment (however working in dev environment) locally accessing to your project by a normal URL in the browser.

Check if virtual hosts are allowed

By default, Apache2 uses the /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/*.conf files (the location of the virtual hosts, one configuration file per virtual host in /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/), therefore per default we do not need to indicate that this file will be included during the runtime of Apache.
See: /etc/apache2/httpd.conf:

cat /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

See uncommented?

IncludeOptional /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/*.conf

Create a custom domain for the host files on your system

Create folder to host your files

You must be root to install and configure Apache.
Change to user root

 sudo su

Once you have installed and checked the status of Apache, go to its Web-root directory and create a new directory as mentioned below.

 cd /srv/www/

 mkdir myproject

 cd /srv/www/myproject

 mkdir htdocs

Create a new file in the above mentioned directory by using the following command.

 echo -e '<html>\n<html>\n\t<body>\n\t\t<h1>Welcome World!</h1>\n\t</body>\n</html>' > /srv/www/myproject/htdocs/index.html

Link DocumentRoot to ServerName respectively virtual host

Create a new virtualhost configuration file in the below mentioned directory and configure it as follows.
/etc/apache2/conf.d/vhost.conf

 sudo su

echo -e 'DocumentRoot "/srv/www/myproject"\nServerName  "myproject"' > /etc/apache2/conf.d/vhost.conf

Did it work?

 cat /etc/apache2/conf.d/vhost.conf

You should see

 DocumentRoot "/srv/www/htdocs/myproject"
 ServerName  "myproject.example.com"

Edit configuration file

https://de.opensuse.org/Apache

 sudo cp /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/vhost.template /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/myproject_vhost.conf

Example configuration

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.3:80>
       ServerName myproject
       ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
       DocumentRoot /srv/www/myproject/htdocs
       <Directory /srv/www/myproject/htdocs>
               Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
               AllowOverride None
               Require all granted
       </Directory>
       ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error_log
       LogLevel warn
       CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access_log combined
       ServerSignature On
</VirtualHost>

1.7. What is where?

/etc/apache2/httpd.conf.local ... adding it in your own file (/etc/apache2/httpd.conf.local) putting its name into APACHE_CONF_INCLUDE_FILES in /etc/sysconfig/apache2 -- this will make system updates easier


/etc/hosts
/etc/apache2/httpd.conf	The main Apache server configuration file. Avoid changing this file. It primarily contains include statements and global settings.
/etc/apache2/global.conf	General configuration of the main Web server process, such as the access path, error logs, or the level of logging.
/etc/apache2/default-server.conf	Global configuration for all virtual hosts with reasonable defaults. Instead of changing the values, overwrite them with a virtual host configuration.
/etc/apache2/conf.d/vhost.conf
/etc/apache2/vhosts.d/*.conf	Your virtual host configuration should be located here. The directory contains template files for virtual hosts with and without SSL. Every file in this directory ending with .conf is automatically included in the Apache configuration.
/etc/apache2/default-server.conf	Global configuration for all virtual hosts with reasonable defaults. Instead of changing the values, overwrite them with a virtual host configuration.
