ERROR: Module mod_vhost_alias does not exist

Question

I am trying to enable mod_vhost_alias in apache. I did some Googling and found a command

sudo a2enmod mod_vhost_alias

I tried that but then I get this

ERROR: Module mod_vhost_alias does not exist!

How do I make mod_vhost_alias exist?

Download it somewhere?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Just remove mod prefix. Most of apache modules enabled/disabled without mod prefix.

Right command:

sudo a2enmod vhost_alias

Answer 2

I had the name wrong. All I had to do was this:

sudo a2enmod vhost_alias

And it worked. By the way, here is what I added to the default /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default file

# DocumentRoot /var/www
VirtualDocumentRoot /home/drew/sites/%0
ServerAlias *
