Ubuntu apache vhost_alias setup

/ Published in: Apache

First of all this refers to a clean Ubuntu 10.04 install with the LAMP and OpenSSH packages installed, but can probably be applied in most cases.

Duplicate the file /etc/apaches/sites-available/default, and name it subdomains.

Edit the new file to look like this one.

Enable the vhost_alias module, "a2enmod vhost_alias".

Activate the new virtual host, "a2ensite subdomains".

Reload apache, "/etc/init.d/apache2 reload".

In order to change the configuration to your needs, [you can go here](
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_vhost_alias.html)
