In this post, i will show on how to configure apache httpd and create VirtualHost on linux Fedora 16 server. Assumed that you already install apache httpd server.
1. Modify httpd.conf as below :
[root@fedora16 ~]# vim /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Update Admin’s address :
ServerAdmin root@fedora16.ehowstuff.local
Uncomment the serverName as below :
ServerName fedora16.ehowstuff.local:80
Add file name that can be access, example : index.php :
DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var index.php
2. Uncomment NameVirtualHost :
# Use name-based virtual hosting. # NameVirtualHost *:80 #
3. Create Virtual host :
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@fedora16.ehowstuff.local
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/fedora16.ehowstuff.local
ServerName fedora16.ehowstuff.local
ErrorLog logs/fedora16.ehowstuff.local-error_log
CustomLog logs/fedora16.ehowstuff.local-access_log common
</VirtualHost>
4. Create sample index.html file on DocumentRoot of your virtualHost :
[root@fedora16 ~]# vi /var/www/html/fedora16.ehowstuff.local/index.html
<html> <body> <div style="width: 100%; font-size: 40px; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;"> Test Page for Fedora.ehowstuff.local </div> </body> </html>
5. Start httpd service :
[root@fedora16 ~]# systemctl restart httpd.service
6. Enable port 80 to go through linux iptables firewall :
[root@fedora16 ~]# vi /etc/sysconfig/iptables
Add this line :
-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
7. Restart iptables to take effect :
[root@fedora16 ~]# systemctl restart iptables.service
