1. Create a New Directory where we will keep the new website’s information
sudo mkdir -p /var/www/example.com/public_html
2. Grant Permissions of the directory to the user
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /var/www/example.com/public_html
Additionally, make sure that everyone will be able to read the files.
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www
3. Create the Page
sudo nano /var/www/example.com/public_html/index.html
Example:
<html>
<head>
<title>Domain: www.example.com</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>My Virtual Host</h1>
</body>
</html>
4. Create the New Virtual Host File
sudo cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/default /etc/apache2/sites-available/example.com
5. Turn on Virtual Hosts
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/example.com
We are going to set up a virtual host in this file.
The first step is to insert a line for the ServerName under the ServerAdmin line.
ServerName example.com
The ServerName specifies the domain name that the virtual host uses.
If you want to make your site accessible from more than one name, for example with www in the URL, include the alternate names in your virtual host file by adding a ServerAlias Line. The beginning of your virtual host file would then look like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@example.com
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias www.example.com
[...]
6. Fill in the correct Document Root
DocumentRoot /var/www/example.com/public_html
7. Activate the host
sudo a2ensite example.com
8. Restart Apache
sudo service apache2 restart
You are done!
If you see messages like:
Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName
Just ignore them.
Good Luck!
