Apache Virtual Host without Servername

Question

I want to set up an environment where I can place my production applications (site1) and type approval (site2).

So on my Ubuntu server 15.10 I rode as follows:

    - /var/www/html/site1
    - /var/www/html/site2

No /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/site1.conf:

    <VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html/site1
        Alias /site1 /var/www/html/site1

        <Directory /var/www/html>
            Order allow,deny
            Allow from all
        </Directory>
    </VirtualHost>

No /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/site2.conf:

    <VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html/site2
        Alias /site2 /var/www/html/site2

        <Directory /var/www/html>
            Order allow,deny
            Allow from all
        </Directory>
    </VirtualHost>

Whenever I type in the localhost/site1 URL, it works perfectly. But when I type localhost/site2, it indicates that it was not found. I looked at Apache help and checked the existence of Servername, but I don’t have DNS. So can I set this up? Where’s my bug?

Thank you very much

Answer 1

Reading a little more on the internet and joining with the reply of @miguel-batista, what worked was to put the two applications on the same virtual host, differentiating by Alias.

/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/site.conf



<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html

    Alias /site1 /var/www/html/site1
    Alias /site2 /var/www/html/site2

    <Directory /var/www/html>
            Options Indexes FollowSymlinks MultiViews
            AllowOverride All
            Order allow,deny
            allow from all
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

It is possible to solve your problem as follows:

open the file hosts using the command sudo nano /etc/hosts

and add the following lines in the file to create the redirect referring to vhost that you want to create:

127.0.1.1  site1
127.0.1.1  site2

then open the file sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/site1.conf and edits the data as follows

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
        ServerName site1
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html/site1

        <Directory /var/www/html/site1>
            Order allow,deny
            Allow from all
        </Directory>
    </VirtualHost>

to the site2

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
        ServerName site2
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html/site2

        <Directory /var/www/html/site2>
            Order allow,deny
            Allow from all
        </Directory>
    </VirtualHost>

this way you are creating a vhost for each and pointing to the folders.

then execute the commands

a2ensite /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/site1.conf
a2ensite /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/site2.conf

to certify that the two vhosts are enabled in apache and then

service apache2 restart

to access the url you will not need to use localhost

only site1/ or site2/ you do not need a DNS to create a local server using Servername. If you want to do it in production use the IP de acesso ao servidor online/site1 or IP de acesso ao servidor online/site2 hope I’ve helped.
