Create Apache Virtual Host: Step-by-Step Guide

[sean1234]

I am attempting to create a virtual host here on my machine. I assume the place to do this is in the /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default file. The file currently reads this:

NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

DocumentRoot /var/www/
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
# This directive allows us to have apache2's default start page
# in /apache2-default/, but still have / go to the right place
#RedirectMatch ^/$ /apache2-default/
</Directory>

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log

# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel warn

CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
ServerSignature On

Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"
<Directory "/usr/share/doc/">
Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
</Directory>

</VirtualHost>



This is the information I am want to put in the host:

<VirtualHost 192.168.0.80>
ServerName phpweb20
DocumentRoot /var/www/phpweb20/htdocs

<Directory /var/www/phpweb20/htdocs>
AllowOverride All
Options All
</Directory>

php_value include_path .:/var/www/phpweb20/include:/usr/local/lib/pear
php_value magic quotes_gpc off
php_value register_globals off
</virtualHost>





So I changed the file to this:

NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost 192.168.0.80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
ServerName phpweb20

DocumentRoot /var/www/phpweb20/htdocs
<Directory />
Options All
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/phpweb20/htdocs>
Options All
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
# This directive allows us to have apache2's default start page
# in /apache2-default/, but still have / go to the right place
#RedirectMatch ^/$ /apache2-default/
</Directory>

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log

# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel warn

CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
ServerSignature On

Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"
<Directory "/usr/share/doc/">
Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
</Directory>
php_value include_path .:/var/www/phpweb20/include:/usr/local/lib/pear
php_value magic_quotes_gpc off
php_value register_globals off

</VirtualHost>


When I restart apache in the terminal I get this message:

* Restarting web server apache2 apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName

It seems you haven't registered the servername in your DNS.

Nor in the /etc/hosts.
