Apache server

Hello,

Im using apache server and i would like to have more then one website with diferents links diferent directory.
how can i do it?

VirtualHosts

make a separate config file, say /etc/httpd/conf.d/vhosts.conf and in it put all your vhosts stuff. here's a basic example:

Code:

---

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
  DocumentRoot /var/www/html/www.test.com
  ServerName www.test.com
  ErrorLog logs/test.com-error_log
  CustomLog logs/test.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>


<VirtualHost *:80>
  DocumentRoot /var/www/html/www.foo.com
  ServerName www.foo.com
  ErrorLog logs/foo.com-error_log
  CustomLog logs/foo.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>

---

then make sure www.test.com and www.foo.com (or whatever) resolve to your ip address on the apache server (easiest is to put them in /etc/hosts).

also make sure the directories (what is after DocumentRoot above) exist and are r/x by all.

then restart apache server.

make sure client accessing www.test.com/foo.com resolves those names to the proper ip address.

check apache logs if problems.

Other and easy way:
create directories /var/www/html/site1 and /var/www/html/site2.
and copy you web projects into this dirs.
So you have 2 links in 2 different directories. 192.168.0.1/site1 and 192.168.0.1/site2
=)

Now I dont know if you can help me with this but I hope so.

Im using WebAdmin to Debian Linux 6.0 but in the Apache secession I can create as much virtuals servers as I want however it doens affect the server i mean it doesnt create that:

PHP Code:

---

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
  DocumentRoot /var/www/html/www.test.com
  ServerName www.test.com
  ErrorLog logs/test.com-error_log
  CustomLog logs/test.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>


<VirtualHost *:80>
  DocumentRoot /var/www/html/www.foo.com
  ServerName www.foo.com
  ErrorLog logs/foo.com-error_log
  CustomLog logs/foo.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>

i wouldn't fiddle w/DNS yet if I were you. Just use entries in /etc/hosts for now, that would be easier.

on the /etc/hosts file on the server, you want something like this:

Code:

---

127.0.0.1        localhost www.test.com www.foo.com

---

on the /etc/hosts file on the client that is attempting to access the webserver via a browser, you want something like this:

Code:

---

<IP_ADDRESS>    www.test.com www.foo.com

---

where <IP_ADDRESS> is the ip address of your web server.

make sure that you can ping the domain names from both server and client before continuing.

now try and access a page on the webserver from the client, what do you get?

what is in the apache logs on the web server?

Note: I see now you are on Debian -well that might change where you'd put that vhosts.conf file. Check the Debian documentation for where exactly you should put it. According to this guide:

Apache Tips & Tricks: Default apache2 configuration files location | MDLog:/sysadmin

such config files would go here: /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/

Also, it bears repeating: watch your apache log files when restarting the server and when a client browser is attempting to connect.
