How to configure linux/apache for multiple virtualhost in local machine

Question

I have two local web site project, localgoogle.com and localapple.com.

localgoogle.com files are in /home/vahid/dev/localgoogle

localapple.com files are in /home/vahid/dev/localapple

My OS is debian 8.5, I have apache2 installed.

I made /etc/apache2/sites-available/localgoogle.com.conf

and /etc/apache2/sites-available/localapple.com.conf

both linked to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled and enabled by a2ensite command.

This is localgoole.com.conf :

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName localgoogle.com
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localgoogle.com
    DocumentRoot /home/vahid/dev/localgoogle
    ServerAlias www.localgoogle.com
    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

localapple conf file follow above configuration rule.

I restarted apache2 service, but I don't know why and how to access this virtualhosts from browser!

I tried localhost/localgoogle.com in browser but It's return Not Found

Answer 1

You access the site directly as localgoogle.com from your browser. Make sure that the name resolves to your local ip address using hosts file or dns.
