set-up-vhost-apache.md

Apache Config Files, by default, are stored in /etc/apache2/sites-available, and the naming convention for the vhost configuration files is 'example.com.conf'

Before creating a vhost, add a webroot directory for that host (mkdir /var/www/example.com/)

Create a config file for the vhost, and paste in the config below. If you are not using SSL, use the top section only.

edit as necessary to use your domain name/folder name.

<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName drew.ga ServerAlias www.drew.ga

    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    DocumentRoot /var/www/drew.ga

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

<VirtualHost *:443> ServerName drew.ga ServerAlias www.drew.ga SSLEngine on SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/drew.ga/cert.pem SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/drew.ga/privkey.pem SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/drew.ga/chain.pem ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost DocumentRoot /var/www/drew.ga

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
    <Directory /var/www/drew.ga>
       AllowOverride All
    </Directory>

Once the vhost config is saved, use 'sudo a2ensite example.com.conf' to enable the vhost and 'sudo service apache2 reload' to reload the apache config.
