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
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName example.com ServerAlias www.example.com DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/example.com/public_html <Directory /var/www/vhosts/example.com/public_html> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/example.com-error_log CustomLog /var/log/httpd/example.com-access_log common </VirtualHost>
:%s/example.com/newwebsite.com
Once the vhost has been created you will need to reload apache for the configuration to take effect
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. # <Files ~ "^\.ht"> Order allow,deny Deny from all Satisfy All </Files>
<LocationMatch ^(.*/)\..*> Order Allow,Deny Deny from All Satisfy All </LocationMatch>
