Preparation

Initialize configuration 

cd /etc/apache2/sites-available/


Create target directory 

mkdir -p /var/www/myServer


Prepare the log files 

mkdir -p /var/log/apache2/myServer
touch /var/log/apache2/myServer/access.log
touch /var/log/apache2/myServer/error.log
chmod -R 660 /var/log/apache2/myServer/*
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/log/apache2/myServer/*


Copy default index file 

cp /var/www/html/index.html /var/www/myServer
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/log/apache2/myServer/*


Configuration

Init configuration 

cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/myServer.conf


Edit configuration 

vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/myServer


To begin the virtual host, write the following lines:

  • Adjust the settings to your own configuration
<VirtualHost 192.168.0.100:80>		  → Choose the best options for your needs
<VirtualHost *:80>
