Quelltext der Seite Setting Up Virtual Hosts

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.

{{toc numerate=1}}

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.

To setup a custom virtual host, we need to follow these steps:

===Allow virtual hosts===
By default, Apache2 won't use the ##/etc/apache2/vhosts.d/*.conf## files (the location of the virtual hosts), therefore we need to indicate that this file will be included during the runtime of Apache.

one configuration file per virtual host in /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/

----









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/htdocs/ %%

%% sudo mkdir myproject%%

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/htdocs/myproject/index.html %%

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/htdocs/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/site1"
 ServerName  "www.linuxhelp1.com" %%

/etc/hosts


/etc/apache2/httpd.conf
/etc/apache2/conf.d/vhost.conf 
/etc/apache2/vhosts.d/*.conf


/etc/apache2/default-server.conf



**/opt/lampp/etc/httpd.conf**
%%# Virtual hosts
#Include etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf %%
Proceed to modify the line uncommenting that line:
%%# Virtual hosts
Include etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf %%

===Create a custom domain in the hosts file of your system===

You need to create a custom domain where our apache virtual host will point to. This domain will be normally an ip (127.0.0.xx based) and a custom name.

In this example, our IP will be ##127.0.0.3## and the domain ##myproject##. So finally, our hosts file will look like:

**/etc/hosts**
%%127.0.0.1	localhost
127.0.0.3	myproject

#don't touch other existent values
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters %%

===Add the virtual host path===

**/opt/lampp/etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf**
%%<VirtualHost 127.0.0.3:80>
  DocumentRoot "/opt/lampp/htdocs/my-project"
  DirectoryIndex index.php

  <Directory "/opt/lampp/htdocs/my-project">
	Options All
	AllowOverride All
	Require all granted
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost> %%

===Test your virtual host===

Start apache and mysql (entire XAMPP).
Navigate in your browser to ##~http://myproject/## or ##~http://127.0.0.3/##.
