PostPosted: Sun 14 Sep '14 20:30    Post subject: Apache2 domain name/ virtual hosts question Reply with quote

I’m trying a complete newb to web server management & I am trying to teach myself a little about Linux servers.

I’m running Ubuntu 14.04 on a virtual machine with an IP address of 192.168.0.101 & my host is on 192.168.0.3

I’ve configured my test website in the var/www folder & I can access it from the host machine by putting in the servers IP address.

I’ve looked at setting up virtual hosts & editing the hosts file, in all of the videos & tutorials I have looked at, inside the hosts file the domain name corresponds to a loopback address, should this not be the servers IP address?

To get my host machine to load the website that is running on the web server simply by typing www.website1.com, what would I have to do differently?

Any help would be appreciated.

Use namebased virtual hosts and set the listen to port 80
