=== Vhosts (CentOS/RHEL) ===
Default configuration file: **/etc/httpd/conf.d/**\\
You will need to create a vhost in this directory, with the file ending in .conf.\\
\\
__For example:__\\
**/etc/httpd/conf.d/example.co.uk.conf**
\\
\\
==== Example vhost for apache ====
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias www.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/example.com/public_html
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/example.com-error_log
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/example.com-access_log common
\\
Globally change website from example.com to your required domain:
:%s/example.com/newwebsite.com
=== Reloading Apache Configuration ===
Once the vhost has been created you will need to reload apache for the configuration to take effect\\
\\
=== IMPORTANT ===
It is important to note that apache WILL server hidden content (hidden files defined by '.' eg .hidden).
\\
The httpd.conf or apache2.conf file comes with an entry preventing .htaccess and .htpasswd files being served:
# The following lines prevent .htaccess and .htpasswd files from being
# viewed by Web clients.
#
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
Satisfy All
\\
Will will need to add an entry preventing other/all hidden files being served. Add the following content directly under the above content in the httpd.conf (apache2.conf file)
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from All
Satisfy All
