Virtual Host in Apache

Virtual Host in Apache

You have a static public IP to use for multiple domains such as www.rab.co.id, jabber.rab.co.id, and debian.rab.co.id. Let's just say the site will be built using Drupal and PostgreSQL.

# Apt-get install phppgadmin

In this way participate Apache installed. Then activate the module virtual host:
# A2enmod vhost_alias

Add on / etc/apache2/apache2.conf:
ServerAdmin grananda@rab.co.id


AllowOverride All


Now create / etc/apache2/sites-available/www.rab.co.id:

ServerName www.rab.co.id
DocumentRoot / home / vhost / www.rab.co.id / htdocs /
ErrorLog / var/log/apache2/www-error.log
CustomLog / var/log/apache2/www-access.log combined



Then switch the site:
# Www.rab.co.id a2ensite
# / Etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Do the same for other domains.

Apache as Proxy
Now, other examples may be appropriate for your situation. You have another machine on the LAN that contains electrical voucher system where you only have 1 public IP is. Though voucher system allows members to fill pulses through the web. Apache here can be used as a proxy that will forward the request to the machine's browser vouchers. Say http://192.168.0.17 http://mgl.rab.co.id means for Apache. I hope you understand what he meant.

Must first activate the module:
# A2enmod proxy_http

Then make / etc/apache2/sites-available/mgl.rab.co.id:

ServerName mgl.rab.co.id
ErrorLog / var/log/apache2/mgl-error.log
CustomLog / var/log/apache2/mgl-access.log combined
ServerSignature On
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass / http://192.168.0.17/
ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.0.17/

Order deny, allow
Allow from all



Daemon restart it:
# / Etc/init.d/apache2 restart


Default Site
Sometimes visitors do not write like http://rab.co.id www prefix, and maybe some that directly mention the fun with its IP http://202.59.201.67. We can make Apache led demand that is not listed in the virtual host to http://www.rab.co.id by making / var / www / index.php:


DNS
Before doing this make sure the domains are already registered in Bind (DNS). Without this Apache configuration will not work.

SSL
You have a site for the member. It is time to enable SSL to avoid eavesdropping activities.

First create the certificate file:
# Apt-get install ssl-cert
# Make-ssl-cert / usr / share / ssl-cert / ssleay.cnf / etc / ssl / private / apache.pem

Activate the module:
# A2enmod ssl

Edit / etc/apache2/sites-available/default with initial lines to be like this:
NameVirtualHost *: 80

..

Then copy to its SSL version:
# Cp / etc/apache2/sites-available/default / etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl

and edit / etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl be:
NameVirtualHost *: 443

SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile / etc / ssl / private / apache.pem
..

Enable:
# Ln-s / etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl / etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default-ssl

Do also change in / etc/apache2/sites-available/www.rab.co.id:

..

ServerName www.rab.co.id
DocumentRoot / home / vhost / www.rab.co.id / htdocs /
CustomLog / var/log/apache2/www-ssl-access.log combined
ErrorLog / var/log/apache2/www-ssl-error.log
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile / etc / ssl / private / apache.pem


Restart Apache:
# / Etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Then try using the browser by giving the prefix https like https: / / www.rab.co.id.
