Name-based virtual hosting enables us to serve different domains from a single server. All we need is to add this line to /etc/apache2/sites-available/default:
NameVirtualHost *
The * specifies that Apache will serve requests for all IP addresses; optionally we can specify only a certain IP on the server.
Next, we create a new for each different domain we want to serve.
This can be done either by adding a few lines inside /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
<VirtualHost *> ServerName www.lxf.gr ServerAlias lxf.org DocumentRoot /media/oxy/www/lxf </VirtualHost>
or by creating a new file (i.e. lxf.gr) inside /etc/apache2/sites-available
<VirtualHost *> ServerAdmin [email protected] ServerName lxf.gr ServerAlias lxf.gr DocumentRoot /media/oxy/www/lxf <Directory /media/oxy/www/lxf> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Options -MultiViews AllowOverride All Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> CustomLog /var/log/apache2/lxf-access.log combined ServerSignature On </VirtualHost>
and symlinking it to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled:
sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/lxf /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/
