Setup

editing Host file

sudo nano /etc/hosts

Format follows ip -> host name

eg:

192.168.33.10 mw

192.167.33.11 himmax

This means when you enter "mw", the browser will look for 192.168.33.10 - note it is more important to now the 'host name'

CREATING virtual host

first enable apache rewrite module, and vhost_alias

sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo a2enmod vhost_alias

creating the virtual host

cd /etc/apache2/sites-available/
sudo nano mw.conf

mw.conf

-- note mw is the same name we input in /etc/hosts

-- SYNTAX: 'hostname'.conf

-- himmax.dev.conf, directowner.conf,

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /var/www/mw/public
    ServerName  mw
</VirtualHost>

enable virtual host

sudo a2ensite mw.conf

You can view it in

mw/
