How to set up multiple virtual hosts on Apache 2 on Ubuntu or in everyday language create multiple sites when developing on a local machine

Setting up your local environment after a reinstall is always a hassle. Especially if you like I don’t bother to back-up the configuration files. So what do you do to set up several sites on your local machine to work on, in Ubuntu using Apache 2.

1. Edit hosts file in /etc directory
Add this line to the hosts file for every site

127.0.0.1	localhost.yoursitename

2. Edit ports.conf file in /etc/apache2 directory
Make sure this is written in the file nothing else about listens etc

Listen 80
NameVirtualHost *:80

3. Edit your default file in /etc/apache2/sites-available directory
Put this on top before the VirtualHost bracket begins.

ServerName localhost

4. Edit your myconfig file in /etc/apache2/sites-available directory
Add this for every site you add

        ServerName localhost.yoursitename
	DocumentRoot /home/username/www/yoursitename/
 
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews +Includes
		AllowOverride All
		Order allow,deny
		Allow from all

5. Restart Apache with: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Auf und ab.
