How To Set Up Apache Virtual Hosts on Ubuntu

How to setup Virtual Host in Ubuntu 16 / Ubuntu 18 on localhost / local machine

To run the website with host on localhost(With LAMP) becomes important in many cases.

This blog post will demonstrate how to achieve this. Assuming you have LAMP already installed and reading the code from (/var/www/html)

Follow the simple steps below

• Create the code base

To Create the code, simply create a directory named localweb inside /var/www/html.

• Create a file index.php inside localweb directory

Content of index.php file

<?php 

echo "Local Website";

?>

Now our code base is set, so we need to configure apache

Go to apache directory

cd  /etc/apache2/sites-available/

Create one file named localweb.conf with content

<Directory /var/www/html/localweb/>

    AllowOverride All

</Directory>

<VirtualHost *:80>

    ServerAdmin admin@localweb.com

    ServerName localweb.com

    ServerAlias www.localweb.com

    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/localweb

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/localweb.com-error.log

    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/localweb.com-access.log combined

</VirtualHost>

Once this is done, we need to enable the site created and restart the apache

sudo a2ensite localweb.conf

sudo service apache2 restart

Lastly, go to /etc/hosts, add the line after localhost

127.0.0.1       localweb.com
