Setting virtual host in apache2

Post by Daniel Wee »

A conf file need to be created and placed in:-

/etc/apache2/sites-available

Supposing the file is dash.conf, it would be:-

/etc/apache2/sites-available/dash.conf

You would enable the virtual host defined in dash.conf like this:-

sudo a2ensite dash
