Name Based Virtual Domain in Apache on Centos

If you want to run multiple Website in Single IP Address. This is achieved using DNS Server. In DNS Server we will point manivel.com and manivel-test.com to same IP Address.Then you can configure Name Based Virtual Domain in Apache Web Server.

How to Configure Name Based Virtual Domain

First you need to install HTTPD  then open apache configuration file you need to Add ,command and uncommand some line


[root@iitb-st ~]# vim /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

          #Listen 12.34.56.78:80

           Listen  80

         #ServerAdmin root@localhost

    

         DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"

         # Use name-based virtual hosting.

         #

          NameVirtualHost 10.107.91.51:80

        ##### Virtual domain    #################

  

     <VirtualHost 10.107.91.51:80>

          ServerAdmin  manivel@manivel.com

          DocumentRoot  /var/www/html/site1

          ServerName  manivel.com

          ServerAlias   www.manivel.com

          ErrorLog logs/manivel.com-error_log

          CustomLog logs/manivel.com-access_log common

     </VirtualHost>

     <VirtualHost 10.107.91.51:80>

          ServerAdmin  manivel@manivel.com

          DocumentRoot  /var/www/html/site2

          ServerName  manivel-test.com

          ServerAlias   www.manivel-test.com

          ErrorLog logs/manivel-test.com-error_log

          CustomLog logs/manivel-test.com-access_log common

    </VirtualHost> 

Now Restart the service 

          [root@iitb-st ~]#  /etc/init.d/httpd   restart

If you want to Verrify Virtual Configuration syntax using "httpd  -S"

          [root@iitb-st ~]# httpd -S

If you want to verrify Apache Configuration file syntax using  "httpd  -t"

           [root@iitb-st ~]# httpd -t

   To create additional virtual host you can just repeat the above process.

I hope this helps...
