This should be a simple thing but sometime I forgot how to created a vhost for domain instead just using IP address during local development. This tutorial is for Fedora user, but I think it also can be applied on RHEL and Centos. Assume that I have a folder called wordpress.oo which located inside /var/www/html , Now I want to surf my website using http://wordpress.oo host address.
First of all, we need to pust IP address to our hosts file so the domain will binded with the IP.
$ sudo -E vim /etc/hosts
Let’s put a new entry inside /etc/hosts with 127.0.0.1 wordpress.oo and save it.
Next, create the domain conf file. It should be located inside /etc/httpd/conf.d/
$ sudo touch /etc/httpd/conf.d/wordpress.oo.conf
$ sudo -E vim /etc/httpd/conf.d/wordpress.oo.conf
I created wordpress.oo.conf file, inside the file, write some configuration like this:
<VirtualHost wordpress.oo:80>
ServerAdmin your@email.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/wordpress.oo
ServerName wordpress.oo
ErrorLog /etc/httpd/logs/wordpress.oo-error_log
CustomLog /etc/httpd/logs/wordpress.oo-access_log common
</VirtualHost>
Then restart the httpd
$ sudo systemctl restart httpd
$ sudo systemctl status httpd
Now open you browser and navigate to wordpress.oo, it should word like real website but it binded with you local host server. This should be usefull for development.
