Using Virtual Hosts on EC2

SettingUpVirtualHosts.conf

//Get to the conf.d directory on your EC2

cd /etc/httpd/conf.d

//If this is a fresh install, you'll likely need to create a vhost file

vi vhost.conf

//In insert mode (i), paste the following:

NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *> 
  ServerName example.com 
  DocumentRoot /var/www/html/example.com 
</VirtualHost>

// NameVirtualHost can be an IP
// The ServerName is the incoming server url
// The DocumentRoot should point to the folder you're using
// Hit ESC and type :wq to write/quit

// DO NOT FORGET TO:

service httpd restart

// If the above doesn't work, check your httpd.conf file to see if
//   and virutal hosts block is commented out (#)

// If using Route53, create an A IP record that matches ServerName
//  that points to the associated elastic IP
