Create virtual host or site in local ubuntu machine

To create a virtual host or local site in ubuntu machine, do the following things-

1) Put your contents in your local machine,
                          for me its in "/var/www/html/workingdir/testdomainfolder"

2) Cd /etc/apache2/sites-available/

3) Create a file name- "www.testdomain.com", do the following-

    sudo vim www.testdomain.com

4) Write the following contents in "www.testdomain.com", change domain name according to your and write your document root

<VirtualHost *:80>

ServerName www.testdomain.com

DocumentRoot /var/www/html/workingdir/testdomainfolder

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin

<Directory /var/www/html/workingdir/testdomainfolder>

Order allow,deny

Allow from all

Options +FollowSymLinks -Indexes

AllowOverride All

</Directory>

<Directory /usr/lib/cgi-bin>

Order allow,deny

Allow from all

Options None

AllowOverride None

</Directory>

CustomLog /var/www/logs/testdomain_log common

ErrorLog /var/www/logs/testdomain_error_log

</VirtualHost>

   

5) Sudo a2ensite testdomain.com.conf
     This will create a "testdomain.com.conf" in sites-enabled folder

6) Add an entry in the local host's file and this/your domain name as-
      sudo vim /etc/hosts
   
    Add below entry(or pur your domain name here)-
    127.0.0.1       www.testdomain.com

7) sudo systemctl restart apache2

8) open your browser and type www.testdomain.com
   
                                           Cheers!!!!!! It's done.
