Apache24 sample VirtualHost configuration

httpd-vhosts.conf

# Assumptions made include
# 1. Incase you are doing this in a Windows OS development environment, directory
#    names should be in quotes because spaces will cause lots of errors.
# 2. You have your Apache server set to execute PHP source files.
# 3. The document root has a file named index.php.

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName www.example.com
  ServerAlias example.com
  
  # Should point to the projects public directory
  DocumentRoot "var/www/project_dir/public"
  
  <Directory "var/www/project-dir/public">
    Require all granted
    DirectoryIndex index.php
    
    # This is optional in case you don't like using .htaccess files
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
      Options -Multiviews
      RewriteEngine On
      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
      RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [QSA,L]
     </IfModule>
     
  </Directory>
  
  ErrorLog var/www/project_dir/logs/project_errors.log
  CustomLog var/www/project_dir/logs/project_access.log
  
  # Optional (I just like reading debug and/or error messages)
  LogLevel warn
  
</VirtualHost>
