Example 40.3 IP-Based VirtualHost Directives
<VirtualHost 192.168.0.20>
...
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 192.168.0.30>
...
</VirtualHost>
Here,
VirtualHost
directives are only specified for interfaces other than
192.168.0.10
. When a
Listen
directive is also configured for
192.168.0.10
,
a separate IP-based virtual host must be created to answer HTTP requests to that inter-
face—otherwise the directives found in the default server configuration (
/etc/
apache2/default-server.conf
) are applied.
Basic Virtual Host Configuration
At least the following directives should be present in each virtual host configuration in
order to set up a virtual host. See
/etc/apache2/vhosts.d/vhost.template
for more options.
ServerName
The fully qualified domain name under which the host should be addressed.
DocumentRoot
Path to the directory from which Apache should serve files for this host. For secu-
rity reasons, access to the entire file system is forbidden by default, so you must
explicitly unlock this directory within a
Directory
container.
ServerAdmin
E-mail address of the server administrator. This address is, for example, shown on
error pages Apache creates.
ErrorLog
The error log file for this virtual host. Although it is not necessary to create separate
error log files for each virtual host, it is common practice to do so, because it makes
debugging of errors much easier.
/var/log/apache2/
is the default directory
where Apache's log files should be kept.
