How To Setting up Apache Virtual Hosts in Ubuntu 14.04

By depratama
Setting up Apache Virtual Hosts in Ubuntu 14.04 is a little complicated. First, you have to make directory for you web. 

mkdir /home/UserA/htdocs

sudo chown -R UserA:UserA /home/UserA/htdocs

sudo chmod -R 755 /home/UserA/htdocs

Next we'll create a test page for our virtual host.

echo 'Test Site' > /home/UserA/htdocs/index.html

Now we are going to start with a sane configuration for our new virtual host.

cd /etc/apache2/sites-available

sudo cp 000-default.conf 001-UserA.conf

We need to edit our base configuration for our purposes.

sudo nano 001-UserA.conf

In the file that opens change the ServerAdmin to your own email address DocumentRoot to our document root and add ServerName and set that to the name of the website

ServerAdmin admin@UserA.com

DocumentRoot /home/UserA/htdocs

ServerName UserA

We also want to set the different log files for our hosts so change the ErrorLog and CustomLog to read something like this:

ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/UserA.error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/UserA.access.log combined

Lastly we want give Apache permission to access our folder. If you forget to add these lines you will receive a 403 Forbidden error when you try to access your website. Add these lines right after the log configurations:

<Directory /home/UserA/htdocs
Require all granted
</Directory>

Save and exit the file (Ctrl+X). Now in enable the virtual host

sudo a2ensite 001-UserA.conf

Check if there are any errors in the newly added configuration files

apachectl configtest

If you see a Syntax OK message then we have configured Apache correctly and are ready to reload the configuration

sudo service apache2 reload

Optionally you may want to edit your /etc/hosts file and add the new hostname there

sudo nano /etc/hosts

Add the following lines at the bottom of the file

127.0.0.1 UserA.com

 Now open your a browser and visit your virtual host site .
