[Moodle] Using Apache Virtual Hosts on school web server

[Russell Curr]

Chris,

Depending on your version of linux, you will find the apache virtual hosts conf file in :
with suse10:  /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/

In here you will find a template virtual hosts file.  Copy this to a new file and edit accordingly.  IT will contain the name of your web site and the path to the doc root.  It is well documented.

cheers
Russell

Hi folks,

 

I'm hoping someone here might be able to help me with sorting out my
school's new web server.

 

I've build a LAMP server in a dedicated server here at school. It is now
live to the world. Initially it will host our Moodle, school website and a
site for a local community arts project that the school is involved in.

 

I am having trouble figuring out how to use virtual name hosting in Apache.

 

I can place the school web site (a temporary static web page at the moment)
in a directory under the /www web root and set it as a virtual host, but I
can't figure out how to serve up other local web installations such as a
media wiki site I'm using for a Year7/8 project.

 

If I leave the school site at the root level, without a virtual server then
I can access the school site and the mediawiki site:

 

Eg www.lornep12.vic.edu.au <http://www.lornep12.vic.edu.au/>  and
www.lornep12.vic.edu.au/me78b 

 

But given that the school site will be made with Expression Engine I'd
rather keep it physically separate from the root.

 

Do I need BIND as a local DNS for this?

 

I've been through all kinds of documentation and still can't make it do what
I want. My TSI isn't much help as he's as new to Linux as I am.

 

Thanks and cheers
