8 - Apache vHost PHP Files

Check Apache virtual hosts that come out of the box. Available ones are in sites-available while enabled ones are symlinked from sites-available to sites-enabled.

We'll create new virtual host at /etc/apache2/sites-available/my_app.conf:

sudo nano ../etc/apache2/sites-available/my_app.conf

and past this :

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName my-site.com
    ServerAlias Xxx.ZxZ.1X7.XxX #your server ip

    DocumentRoot /var/www/your-project-name/public
    <Directory /var/www/your-project-name/public>
        # Don't show directory index
        Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews

        # Allow .htaccess files
        AllowOverride All

        # Allow web access to this directory
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

    # Error and access logs
    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/my-site.error.log
    # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
    # alert, emerg.
    LogLevel warn
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/my-site.access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Now Enable the Virtual Host using Apache's tool that comes with the Ubuntu package of Apache2:

# Symlink it to sites-enabled directory
sudo a2ensite my_app

# Reload Apache so the new configuration is loaded
sudo service apache2 reload
