Hy! I am new in Apache and I used it until now only for testing PHP and MySQL. I have now to host some web sites but I don't know how. I searched for tutorials on the web, in the apache mailing lists, in the Apache documentation and also in the FAQ but I couldn't find an answer to a few questions. I mention that I haven't done any experiments in order to "lunch" my websites because I don't want to ruin the computers I use... How do I find a A to Z websiteshosting tutorial? I know that I have to change the vhosts.conf file, but... more than this ... I know nothing. How exactly to I get my websites on the net? Just create folders and declare them in the vhosts file? What's the importance of the .com, .de, .net, .it, .ro and so on terminations? Should I just create a folder named www.website.com and that's it?
The apache virtual host documentation is a good place to start: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/name-based.html But it sounds like you might need something a little more basic. In particular, before you even start configuring apache, you need to configure DNS to map the desired hostname to the IP address for your server. This is out of scope for this list in general, especially since it is impossible to tell exactly what point you are starting from. Your ISP would probably be a good source of help for this question, or maybe something like: http://www.howstuffworks.com/dns.htm Once you get the DNS mapped correctly, you need to configure apache. If you find the apache docs too dense, a quick google will turn up dozens of tutorials: http://www.google.com/search?q=virtual+hosts+apache Just be sure to check what they say against the official docs, since the quality of the tutorials can vary widely.
