The Apache web server is the most popular way of serving web content on the internet. It accounts for more than half of all active websites on the internet and is extremely powerful and flexible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Apache Virtual Hosts allows you to run more than one website on a single machine. With Virtual Hosts, you can specify the site document root (the directory which contains the website files), create a separate security policy for each site, use different SSL certificates and much more.<\/span><\/p>\n In this tutorial we will show you how to set up Apache Virtual Host on a CentOS 8 server.<\/span><\/p>\n Apache is available in the default CentOS repositories.<\/span><\/p>\n Enable and start the Apache service.<\/span><\/p>\n Open your web browser and go to your server. http:\/\/server-ip<\/span>\/ you will see something like this.<\/span><\/p>\n We will create a separate directory for each domain we want to host on our server inside the \/var\/www\u00a0directory.<\/span><\/p>\n Apache should be made the owner of that folder.<\/span><\/p>\n By default, Apache is configured to load all configuration files that ends with .conf from the \/etc\/httpd\/conf.d\/ directory.<\/span><\/p>\n To test the Apache configuration, run the following command.<\/span><\/p>\n Restart Apache service.<\/span><\/p>\n To test your virtual host, you\u2019ll have to create a phpinfo file to the document root directory.<\/span><\/p>\n Now we can test our webserver. Go to your browser and access your server hostname. You should see your server\u2019s PHP information.<\/span><\/p>\n This means virtual host can run properly with Apache web server. You have successfully set it up.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Apache web server is the most popular way of serving web content on the internet.
