How To Install the Apache Web Server on Ubuntu 16.04
Create directory for public html:
$ sudo mkdir -p /var/www/(__domain_name__)/public_html
Create virtual host file for domain:
$ sudo vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/(__domain_name__).conf
Host file contains:
<VirtualHost *:80>
# The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that
# the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
# redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
# specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
# match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
# value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
# However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.
#ServerName (__domain_name__)
ServerAdmin admin@(__domain_name__)
ServerName (__domain_name__)
ServerAlias www.(__domain_name__)
DocumentRoot /var/www/(__domain_name__)/public_html
# Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,
# error, crit, alert, emerg.
# It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular
# modules, e.g.
# LogLevel info ssl:warn
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
# For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are
# enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to
# include a line for only one particular virtual host. For example the
# following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only
# after it has been globally disabled with "a2disconf".
#Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf
</VirtualHost>
# vim: syntax=apache ts=4 sw=4 sts=4 sr noet
Enable virtual host file:
$ sudo a2ensite (__domain_name__).conf
$ sudo service apache2 restart
