My Create Virtual Host Doesn't Work

  • Posted October 23, 2014

I have followed the detailed instructions on How To Set Up Apache Virtual Hosts on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS . When I go to example.com I get - Example Domain

This domain is established to be used for illustrative examples in documents. You may use this domain in examples without prior coordination or asking for permission.

When I go to test.com - a website comes up for test.com

I can’t figure out why the html PAGES ON Apache2 will not show. I have created the HTML pages.

I am running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Apache2 Server

1.Make sure you include the file types (index.htm,index.html) with in the vhost entry. 2. Make sure that the apache user has correct permissions on your www directory

Thanks everyone for helping. I went over all my files to make everything was spelled correct and in the right file. I finally got it to work using 127.0.0.1 URL

Hi!

example.com and test.com should be replaced by the domain names that you actaully own and use. In the tutorial “How To Set Up Apache Virtual Hosts on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS,” everything highlighted in red is meant to be replaced.
