VirtualHosts
First some basic things:
Where to find the VirtualHost file
The out-of-the-box location for the file is /opt/csw/apache2/etc/virtualhosts (blastwave template) or /opt/local/etc/httpd/ (pkgsrc template).
If you want to change the location, then look in your /opt/csw/apache2/etc/httpd.conf (blastwave template) or /opt/local/etc/httpd/httpd.conf (pkgsrc template) file for the following lines to change the path:
# And here are the virtualhost files Include /opt/csw/apache2/etc/virtualhosts/*.conf
Multiple URLs pointing to same site
Site to come up as http://www.example.com, http://example.com and http://blog.example.com
ServerName www.example.com ServerAlias example.com ServerAlias blog.example.com
If you only want a single url to work then only define a value for ServerName.
Set the order of default pages served
DirectoryIndex index.html dispatch.fcgi
Setting the htdocs dir
Where is the public dir:
DocumentRoot /home/domains/www.example.com/current/public
rewrite
Enable rewrite:
RewriteEngine* On
Don’t serve up the SVN stuff:
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?\.svn/ - [F,L]
Log files
define the error log file:
ErrorLog /opt/csw/apache2/var/log/blog.example.com.error
define the location of the custom file note “common” is defined in httpd.conf which is the format for the file:
CustomLog /opt/csw/apache2/var/log/blog.example.com common
The complete VirtualHost Entry
putting it all together 001-example.com.conf file: I use mongrel cluster with 5 balancing.
