Virtual Host Configuration in Ubuntu

A vm is a Web site running on a host. Each site has its own domain name. The VM is transparent to users, it is as if every site is running on a single host. If each Web site has a different IP address, it is called an IP-based virtual host. If the IP address of each site is the same but the domain name is different, it is called a virtual host based on the name or host name. The following shows how to configure a VM in Ubuntu: 1. Edit the/etc/hosts file and add the following content to the file: My IP Address

A vm is a Web site running on a host. Each site has its own domain name. The VM is transparent to users, it is as if every site is running on a single host.
If each Web site has a different IP address, it is called an IP-based virtual host. If the IP address of each site is the same but the domain name is different, it is called a virtual host based on the name or host name.

The following shows how to configure a virtual host in Ubuntu:
1. Edit the/etc/hosts file and add the following content to the file:
My IP address is 192.168.204.210, so the added content is:
192.168.204.210 www.Linuxidc.com
Then, you can run the ping command to test whether the command is correct? Ping 192.168.204.210. If the Ping succeeds, the domain name resolution is normal.
2. Create the required Directory: mkdir-p/var/www/Linuxidcb
3. Configure the/etc/apache2/sites-available/default file.
NameVirtualHost 192.168.204.210: 80

Modify it to this.
4. Restart The Apache2 server. Enter/etc/init. d/apache2 restart in the command line.

5. Test the VM. Create an index.html file in the root directory of the virtual website, and enter http://www.linuxidc.com/in the browser. If you can see the content of index.html, the configuration is successful.
