Apache virtualhost configuration - linux

Question

I am tring to set two virtual host (example.com.conf and test.com.conf):
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias www.example.com
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/example.com/public_html
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
and
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin#test.com
ServerName test.com
ServerAlias www.test.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/test.com/public_html
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
The problem is that if I go on localhost in my browser it is shown the website www.example.com. If I type localhost/test.com there is error not found. My goal should be to address both website with localhost/example.com and localhost/test.com.

Sounds like you could use the ServerPath directive for apache, in your case something like this should work:
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
# primary vhost
DocumentRoot "/var/www/example.com"
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule "." "/var/www/example.com/public_html"
# ...
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
DocumentRoot "/var/www/example.com/public_html"
ServerName localhost
ServerPath "/example/"
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule "^(/sub1/.*)" "/var/www/example$1"
# ...
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
DocumentRoot "/var/www/test.com/public_html"
ServerName localhost
ServerPath "/test/"
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule "^(/sub2/.*)" "/var/www/test$1"
# ...
</VirtualHost>
The first Vhost would be so that localhost defaults to example.com page.

if you want to browse to these folders under any virtual host, like http://localhost/test.com, then you simply need an alias directive inside a location tag appended to the end of any active virtual host
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
<Location "/example.com">
Alias "/var/www/example.com/public_html"
</Location>
<Location "/test.com">
Alias "/var/www/test.com/public_html"
</Location>
Or you can put it inside the virtual host if you don't want it available anywhere else
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
<Location "/example.com">
Alias "/var/www/example.com/public_html"
</Location>
<Location "/test.com">
Alias "/var/www/test.com/public_html"
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
