Virtual hosting with a LAMP server and Ubuntu 12.04 with Filezilla

Question

I have 2 domains I wish to host on 1 server.

I would like to know how I can add/remove/change my web sites only with Filezilla.

Answer 1

You'll need to login as root in Filezilla to access the configuration files. With Apache, they will be located in /etc/apache2/sites-available. You will also be required to symlink or cp them to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled for them to be activated.

Base two new files off of default, change the domain and location, remove the default_server and upload them.

They should look something like this:

<VirtalHost *:80>

    ServerName example.com
    ServerAlias www.example.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/example.com/html_public

    <Directory />
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
    </Directory>

    <Directory /var/www/example.com/html_public>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride None
        Order allow, deny
        allow form all
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog /var/www/example/logs/error.log
    LogLevel warn
    CustomLog /var/www/example/logs/access.log combined

</VirtualHost>
