Virtual Hosting is a method for hosting multiple sites/domains in a single server. It helps to reduce the cost and can share the memory and processor cycle. In local host also we can create Virtual host and we can call original domain name(production/live domain) from our development environment(localhost). Here I am providing the steps for creating Virtual host in Linux/Ubuntu workstation.
i. Assume your code resides at /var/www/yoursite
ii. You can access your site using http://localhost/yoursite.
iii. Edit vhosts file in sites-enabled. sudo gedit /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/vhosts.conf.
iv. Add below code in vhosts file
i. Assume your code resides at /var/www/yoursite
ii. You can access your site using http://localhost/yoursite.
iii. Edit vhosts file in sites-enabled. sudo gedit /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/vhosts.conf.
iv. Add below code in vhosts file
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName local.yoursite.com
ServerAlias www.local.yoursite.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/yoursite
</VirtualHost>
v. Open the file /etc/hosts in your editor.
vi. Add below lines of code.
127.0.0.1 local.yoursite.com
vii. Restart your apache server.
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
viii. Access http://local.yoursite.com to view your site in direct domain.
