Virtual Hosting of Multiple Domains with Apache
-----------------------------------------------
2005-07-17


NameVirtualHost my.ipa.ddr.ess

<VirtualHost [local IP address]>
        ServerAdmin username at example dot com
        ServerName www.example.com
        ServerAlias example.com
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html/example.com/
	<Directory /var/www/html/example.com/usage>
	    Order deny,allow
	    Deny from all
	    Allow from 10.1.1.0/24 #allow /usage from internal net only
	</Directory>
        CustomLog /var/logs/something.log combined #access-log
</VirtualHost>

NOTE:	see webalizer_virtualhost.txt for more on setting up multiple domains

HTTP to HTTPS redirection to another site:
<VirtualHost my.ip.addr.ess:80>
    ServerName foo.example.com
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
    RewriteRule ^(.*) https://www.example2.com$1 [R,L]
</VirtualHost>

HTTP to HTTPS redirection to same site just change this line:
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}$1 [R,L]

just add more of these for each website!


Setup Username folders (/~myuser/) from web root
---------------------------------------------------

1.  Goto /home and change permissions on the user's dir
	chmod 711 <username>
2.  Goto /home/<username> and create public_html dir
	mkdir public_html
3.  Change permissions on public_html dir
	chmod 755 public_html
4.  User can now create index.htm or index.html and begin building their site.


Setup folders for browsing contents
-----------------------------------
#
# This is for directories that require browsing.
#
#<Directory /var/www/html/example.com/foldername>
#    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
#</Directory>


Setup for SSL (when you have multiple websites hosted on same machine)
----------------------------------------------------------------------

1.  Only works for first VirtualHost (the default)
	NameVirtualHost [local IP address] and then later down the file:
		<VirtualHost [local IP address]> (summary of the directive, full is above)
			www.example.com
		</VirtualHost>

2.  in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf
	change <VirtualHost _default_:443> ?? to <VirtualHost [local IP address]:443>  ??

3.  might need 2 NameVirtualHost lines:
	NameVirtualHost *:80
	NameVirtualHost *:443

** NOTE to self, 1/7/2004 SSL currently works for https://localhost only.
	Why not www.example.com? **
