So I have one site hosted and I want another hosted on the same domain. So how can I set this up My Main Site www.mysite.com /var/www/maindir My Development Site dev.mysite.com /var/www/dev
The configuration varies slightly from distro to distro and depending upon the version of apache you're running. You want to check the documentation for virtualhosts.
this is what i use for my vhost site just copy and paste and update the info for your needs and make sure you got the htdocs / log folder made as well step1 open your ur httpd.conf file and add to the bottom of it NameVirtualHost * include /var/www/conf.d/*.conf save it mkdir -p /var/www/conf.d cd /var/www/conf.d/ vi www.mysite.com.conf <VirtualHost *> ServerName www.mysite.com DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/www.mysite.com/htdocs <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory> <Directory /var/www/vhosts/www.mysite.com/htdocs/> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews </Directory> CustomLog /var/www/vhosts/www.mysite.com/logs/access.log combined ErrorLog /var/www/vhosts/www.mysite.com/logs/error.log </VirtualHost> save the file mkdir -p /var/www/vhosts/www.mysite.com/htdocs mkdir -p /var/www/vhosts/www.mysite.com/log repeart as many time as you need (update the info on the fly as you need ) than restart apache make sure you set in your hosts file IP <TAB> www.mysite.com if you dont have your own DNS server
