Configuring Apache Web Server - Virtual Host

Virtual host in Apache web server means hosting mulitple web server or domain name in a single physical server.

By modifying NameVirtualHost directive, you can specify the IP address that will receive request using the name based virtual hosts

For example, we going to have 2 domain hosted under 1 ip 192.168.1.100. Where ServerName directive specify the hostname/domain and DocumentRoot is where we specify the location of domain's file.

vim /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Name VirtualHost 192.168.1.100
<VirtualHost 192.168.1.100>
ServerName 1a-centosserver.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/1a-centosserver/
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 192.168.1.100>
ServerName 101virtualization.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/101virtualization/
</VirtualHost>
