To setup Apache with a virtual host in CentOS 9 Stream, you can follow these steps:
Guide To Configuring Apache With A Virtual Host
Install Apache
sudo dnf install httpd
Start the Apache service
sudo systemctl start httpd
Enable Apache to start on boot
sudo systemctl enable httpd
Configure the virtual host
Create a new configuration file for your virtual host. For example, create a file named mydomain.conf in the /etc/httpd/conf.d/ directory:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/mydomain.conf
Add the following content to the file. Replace example.com with your domain name and /var/www/html/example with the path to your website’s files:
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName example.com DocumentRoot /var/www/html/example <Directory /var/www/html/example> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All Require all granted </Directory> </VirtualHost>
Save the file and exit the text editor.
Adjust firewall settings if necessary
If you have firewalld enabled, allow HTTP traffic:
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=http sudo firewall-cmd --reload
Finally, update your DNS settings to point your domain to the server’s IP address.
Your virtual host should now be set up and accessible through the specified domain name. Make sure you have the necessary files in the specified document root directory to serve your website content.
