How to Create Multiple Virtual Hosts in Ubuntu with LAMP/Apache

I also assume that you have the Apache mod_rewrite module enabled.  You can enable this by typing the following command in the terminal

sudo a2enmod rewrite

 Create Multiple Directories.

 
mkdir /var/www/mylocalsite1
mkdir /var/www/mylocalsite2
mkdir /var/www/mylocalsite3


Add your sites to the hosts file:
sudo nano /etc/hosts OR sudo vim /etc/hosts


It will look like this


127.0.0.1       localhost
127.0.1.1       mahesh-thinkpad

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters






Now add your virtual host names after 


127.0.1.1       mahesh-thinkpad




Like


127.0.01        www.mylocalsite1.com


127.0.01        www.mylocalsite2.com


127.0.01        www.mylocalsite3.com




Configure Apache


Open new file sudo vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/mylocalsites


and add like this




<VirtualHost *:80>
     ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
     DocumentRoot /var/www/html/mylocalsite1
     ServerName mylocalsite1.com
     ServerAlias www.mylocalsite1.com

         DirectoryIndex index.php index index.html

    </Directory>

</VirtualHost>






    

  1. We open the virtual host tag and tell apache to listen to port 80.  
    2. 

  2. The DocumentRoot directive tells apache where our site files are stored.  
    3. 

  3. ServerName is the server name of our site, the url that we will use to navigate to the site. 
    4. 

  4. ServerAlias is any other name or url that we may use to access the site, themostcommon being excluding the www. 
    5. 

  5. So basically we’re saying mylocalsite1.com is equivalent to www.mylocalsite1.com
    6. 




Enable the sites in Apache and restart Apache



sudo a2ensite mylocalsites








Now reload Aapche



sudo service apache2 reload/restart








Notes:

1. If you navigate to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled, you’ll see a 
symlink to each of your sites (in terminal they just look like files, 
but if you browse to the folder using your GUI file manager you’ll 
notice that they are links). They are placed there by the a2ensite command we execute in the last step.


2. If you need to remove any sites, the cleanest way in my opinion is to reverse through the steps.


- First disable them using the a2dissite command:

sudo a2dissite mylocalsites


- Then delete the mylocalsites file from /etc/apache2/sites-available/ folder.


- Then remove the reference to mylocalsite1.com, mylocalsite2.com, mylocalsite3.com from /etc/hosts

- And finally restart the apache server

AIOMgr: Preparing flush failed with VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED, disabling async flushes





















  AIOMgr: Preparing flush failed with VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED, disabling async flushes   If you get error like this while Installing Windows 8.1  as guest OS using Oracle VirtualBox /VirtualMachine   Then check your RAM Allocation for the Guest OS.   Example: First time i gave 5120 (5 GB) of RAM  for Guest OS.   while installing i got the error like this in log file   AIOMgr:  Preparing flush failed with VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED , disabling async flushes.   Now i changed the RAM  size to  4096(4 GB) , now the error gone, the guest OS installed successfully.   My Suggestion is to set RAM  size in EVEN  for this kind of errors.
