HOWTO do multiple virtual hosts on apache2
I'm writing this because I could find it in the first place.
This is my first howto, so bear with me.  If some of you could suggest some BB tags to make it look more readable, please tell me.
My setup
I need to have 3 virtual servers running. I created 3 new directories in /var/www/localhost and put my php files in those directories.
Installing apache2
First we install apache:
Emerge php and mysql if you need. I certainly did. Remember to enable php in /etc/conf.d/apache2 if you need it.
Add apache to the default runlevel:
| Code: | | rc-update add apache2 default |
Configuring apache
When I start apache, it complains about "fully quallified server name" or the likes of it. Go into /etc/apache2/conf/apache2.conf and set the right ServerName.
Go to the section Virtual Hosts and uncomment:
| Code: | | Include conf/vhosts/vhosts.conf |
Save and exit.
Edit the /etc/apache2/conf/vhosts/vhosts.conf
Insert the following in the end of the file(the rest is commented allready):
| Code: | NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.provingground.dk
ServerAlias provingground.dk *.provingground.dk
ServerAdmin webmaster@provingground.dk
DocumentRoot /var/www/localhost/provingground.dk
ServerPath /www.provingground.dk
<Directory /var/www/localhost/provingground.dk>
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Setenv VLOG /var/log/apache2/
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/provingground_dk_error_log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/provingground_dk_access_log combined
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.charlottearp.dk
ServerAlias charlottearp.dk *.charlottearp.dk
ServerAdmin webmaster@charlottearp.dk
DocumentRoot /var/www/localhost/charlottearp.dk
ServerPath /www.charlottearp.dk
<Directory /var/www/localhost/charlottearp.dk>
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Setenv VLOG /var/log/apache2/
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/charlottearp_dk_error_log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/charlottearp_dk_access_log combined
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.it-crew.dk
ServerAlias it-crew.dk *.it-crew.dk
ServerAdmin webmaster@it-crew.dk
DocumentRoot /var/www/localhost/it-crew.dk
ServerPath /www.it-crew.dk
<Directory /var/www/localhost/it-crew.dk>
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Setenv VLOG /var/log/apache2/
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/it-crew_dk_error_log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/it-crew_dk_access_log combined
</VirtualHost>

Some explanation about the configuration:
The <Directory> directive is nesesary to get it working. I spent hours to find the solution. I got an 403 error from the web-server.
It's a good idea to have each virtual host writing to its own set of log files.
Start apache
It's time to test apache. Run:
| Code: | | /etc/init.d/apache2 start |
Make absolutely sure that DNS is set up correct or the domainname is set in your /etc/hosts.
Good luck.

It's a nice HOWTO, I'm sure people will find it handy.
Personally, I prefer the dynamic hosts way. I give my friends subdomains, so they sure come handy for me, as all I have to do is create a new directory inside /var/www and it's already set.
To go that way, you just have to uncomment
| Code: | Include conf/vhosts/dynamic-vhosts.conf
|
in apache2.conf instead. Then check in vhosts/dynamic-vhosts.conf that
| Code: | | VirtualDocumentRoot /var/www/%0/ |
is set.
Finally, create directories of the form /var/www/subdomain.domain.com and you're good to go. Oh, don't forget to set your DNS to redirect *.yourdomain.com to your machine instead of doing so only for explicit domains.
I hope this little contribution helped someone

Note that if you are missing:
NameVirtualHost *:80
only the first site will work :/ |
