You will need to have installed/Created:
Sudo or root access Apache2 Folder Path Directory
1. create a virtual host for the website, by copying and renaming the default configuration file in apache
sudo cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/(exmaple.co.uk).conf
2. edit virtual host conf file
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/(example.co.uk).conf
The config file should look like this in the end:
ServerAdmin [email protected] DocumentRoot /var/www/(example.co.uk)/html ServerName (example.co.uk) ServerAlias (example.co.uk) <Directory /var/www/(example.co.uk)/html/> AllowOverride All </Directory> ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
3. enable the virtual hosts
sudo a2ensite (example.co.uk).conf
You will get the message below:
Enabling site (example.co.uk). To activate the new configuration, you need to run: service apache2 reload
4. reload apache
sudo service apache2 restart
All done 😀
