Virtual Host on Apache（Apache上創建虛擬主機）

0. Introduction

Usually, we want to build two or more websites on a web server, but we have only one IP and do not want to use ports (eg. www.abc.com:8081) to visit webpages.

So, how to make www.a.com and www.b.com both point to server X.X.X.X ?

1. Environment

Ubuntu 14.04 x64

Bitnami LAMP Stack 5.4.40

2. Steps

2.0. Configure "A" records of www.a.com and www.b.com to IP X.X.X.X

2.1. Make new dirs in .../apache2/htdocs for these two sites, such as, htdocsa and htdocsb

2.2. Modify .../apache2/conf/httpd.conf, add following codes:

NameVirtualHost X.X.X.X

<VirtualHost X.X.X.X:80>
ServerAdmin admin@a.com
DocumentRoot /opt/lampstack-5.4.40-0/apache2/htdocs/htdocsa
ServerName www.a.com
</VirtualHost>

NameVirtualHost X.X.X.X
<VirtualHost X.X.X.X:80>
ServerAdmin admin@b.com
DocumentRoot /opt/lampstack-5.4.40-0/apache2/htdocs/htdocsb
ServerName www.b.com
</VirtualHost>

2.3. Restart apache
