HOW TO: Hosting multiple websites

Stefan (WhoCares?) helped me privately and we got it sorted. I posted the critical factor here: viewtopic.php?f=35&t=64537

Here's my final config, it should be useful to anyone else trying to set up virtual hosts + PHP (& I've included an example that fixes directory images): http://leoj3n.otzo.com/example-apache-a ... fig.tar.gz

Important files:

/etc/frontview/apache/addons/sub.domain.com.vhost         #example virtual host
/etc/frontview/apache/addons/dirlist.domain.com.vhost     #example virtual host that supports directory images
/etc/frontview/apache/addons/domain.com.vhost             #example virtual host that utilizes ServerAlias
/etc/frontview/apache/addons/00_php5module.conf           #php5 config file; without this .php files download instead of output to the browser

Here are the steps the I believe resulted in my eventual success:


First, backup your current configuration

cp -rf /etc/frontview/apache/ /etc/frontview/apache.bak/

Change settings in FrontView -> Standard File Protocols -> HTTP

Redirect default web access to this share: None selected
Login authentication on this share: Disable


Clone WhoCares?'s apache-configs repo on Gitorious

Link: https://gitorious.org/readynas/apache-configs

Git clone command:

git clone git://gitorious.org/readynas/apache-configs.git apache-configs

Run the apache-configs install file

cd ./apache-configs/; sudo bash install.sh

Create a .vhost file in /etc/frontview/apache/addons/

cd /etc/frontview/apache/addons/; touch YOUR.DOMAIN.com.vhost

The contents of YOUR.DOMAIN.com.vhost should be something like:

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName YOUR.DOMAIN.com
  DocumentRoot /YOUR_HTML_SHARE/a_sub_dir
                                  
  <Directory /YOUR_HTML_SHARE/a_sub_dir>
    Options +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
    AllowOverride All               
    Order Allow,Deny 
    Allow from all  
  </Directory>    
              
  DirectoryIndex redirect.html index.html index.htm index.php
                                                             
  <Location /index.html>
    SetHandler none     
    Order Allow,Deny
    Allow from all  
  </Location>     
             
  SSLEngine off
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteOptions Inherit
  Options +FollowSymLinks
</VirtualHost>

Restart Apache

apache-ssl -f /etc/frontview/apache/httpd.conf -k restart
