How to Create Multiple Virtualhost on Fedora 34
To Implement Multiple Virtual Hosts on Fedora 34.
Introduction:
Virtual hosting in Apache is the concept of hosting multiple sites on a single server. There are two types of virtual hosting: IP address hosting and domain hosting, so either IP addresses or domain names can be hosted.
Installation Procedure:
Step 1: To check OS version.
[root@linuxhelp ~]# cat /etc/os-release
NAME=Fedora
VERSION="34 (Workstation Edition)"
ID=fedora
VERSION_ID=34
VERSION_CODENAME=""
PLATFORM_ID="platform:f34"
PRETTY_NAME="Fedora 34 (Workstation Edition)"
ANSI_COLOR="0;38;2;60;110;180"
LOGO=fedora-logo-icon
CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:fedoraproject:fedora:34"
HOME_URL="https://fedoraproject.org/"
DOCUMENTATION_URL="https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/34/system-administrators-guide/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicating_and_getting_help"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/"
Step 2: To install apache service.
[root@linuxhelp ~]# dnf install httpd -y

Step 3: To start the apache service.
[root@linuxhelp ~]# systemctl start httpd
Step 4: To enable apache service.
[root@linuxhelp ~]# systemctl enable httpd
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/httpd.service → /usr/lib/systemd/system/httpd.service.
Step 5: To check apache status.
[root@linuxhelp ~]# systemctl status httpd
● httpd.service - The Apache HTTP Server
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/httpd.service; enabled; vendor pre>

Step 6: To make new directory sample1 and sample2.
[root@linuxhelp ~]# mkdir /var/www/html/sample1
[root@linuxhelp ~]# mkdir /var/www/html/sample2
Step 7: To open apache configuration file and create virtualhost.
[root@linuxhelp ~]# vim /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
<VirtualHost 192.168.6.125:80>
servername www.linuxhelp1.com
Documentroot /var/www/html/sample1
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80> or your ip
servername www.linuxhelp2.com
documentroot /var/www/html/sample2
</virtualhost>
Step 8: To check apache Syntex.
[root@linuxhelp ~]# httpd -t
AH00558: httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using fe80::e2eb:b5d6:40ab:3b84%ens33. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message
Syntax OK
Step 9: To Start and Reload firewall service.
[root@linuxhelp ~]# firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=http
Success
[root@linuxhelp ~]# firewall-cmd --reload
Success
Step 10: To Enable apache service.
[root@linuxhelp ~]# systemctl enable httpd.service
Step 11: To open index.html file and create any content.
[root@linuxhelp ~]# vim /var/www/html/sample1/index.html
[root@linuxhelp ~]# vim /var/www/html/sample2/index.html
Step 12: Check your IP address.
[root@linuxhelp ~]# ip a s
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 fe80::e2eb:b5d6:40ab:3b84/64 scope link noprefixroute
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
Step 13: To restart httpd.service.
[root@linuxhelp ~]# systemctl restart httpd.service
Step 14: Go to browser then browse your virtualhost domains.
With this the implement of multiple virtual hosts comes to an end
Q
What is Mod_vhost_alias?
A
mod_vhost_alias. The VirtualDocumentRoot directive allows you to determine where Apache HTTP Server will find your documents based on the value of the server name.
Q
How do I get Apache to listen on multiple ports?
A
Open configure file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and modify the Listen directive tells the server to accept incoming requests on the specified port.
Multiple Listen directives may be used to specify the number of ports to listen.
Multiple Listen directives may be used to specify the number of ports to listen.
Q
How do I find the Apache virtual host?
A
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf is the default location for Apache Virtual Host configuration files on Fedora systems
Q
What is the maximum number of virtual hosts that Apache can handle?
A
Each virtual host may have its own log, so the limit may be 64 based on file descriptor limits. However, you can use this guide to configure Apache to run more processes.
Q
What is a name-based virtual host?
A
Name-based Virtual Hosting is used to serve different websites hosted on the same IP address or Port.
