I am trying to add a name based
virtual host to apache2-mpm-prefork
version 2.2.9-7 on Debian lenny/sid.
First I read to edit /etc/apache2/httpd.conf but this file it seems is
empty and not used in Debian.
Then I read to edit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf but it seems that is
also not the right place for adding it so then
I found the file /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default
This is the correct file to edit? I was told to add my section to it such as:
<VirtualHost *:80>
.....
</VirtualHost>
yes, but 000-default file should be left alone with standard directives for
your DocRoot /var/www/
then you should put directives for any other web site you are going to add in a
separate file in /etc/apache2/sites-available/ and then create a symlink to it
in
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/
so you can simply remove the symlink if you ever want to put sites offline instead
of commenting out lines on a single, maybe huge, conf file, moreover you gain
better control on per site directives
