-Setting up Virtual Hosts under Apache.
+===== Setting up Virtual Hosts under Apache. =====
+Make sure that the module you need is available.
+So first of all we need to check the directory of available modules to see if we have a copy of module vhosts_alias
+  ls /etc/apache2/mods-available/

+Next we need to tell apache2 to load the vhosts_alias module
+  ls /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/
+<code>
+alias.conf
+alias.load
+auth_basic.load
+authn_file.load
+authz_default.load
+authz_groupfile.load
+authz_host.load
+authz_user.load
+autoindex.conf

+negotiation.conf

+perl.load
+php5.conf
+php5.load
+python.load
+setenvif.conf
+setenvif.load
+status.conf
+status.load
+vhost_alias.load	# make sure it's enabled
+</code>
+Now we need to setup the enabled sites file to include all the virtual hosts we will be adding.
+  cat /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default
+<code>
+<VirtualHost *:80>				# set the port number here
+	ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
+	DocumentRoot /var/www/
+	<Directory />
+		Options FollowSymLinks
+		AllowOverride None
+	</Directory>
+	<Directory /var/www/>
+		Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
+		AllowOverride AuthConfig
+		Order allow,deny
+		allow from all
+	</Directory>
+	UseCanonicalName Off			#
+	VirtualDocumentRoot /var/www/%0/	# this is the asked for URL
+	ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
+	<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
+		AllowOverride None
+		Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
+		Order allow,deny
+		Allow from all
+	</Directory>
+	ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
+	# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
+	# alert, emerg.
+	LogLevel warn
+	CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
+    Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"
+    <Directory "/usr/share/doc/">
+        Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
+        AllowOverride None
+        Order deny,allow
+        Deny from all
+        Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
+    </Directory>
+</VirtualHost>
+</code>
+Including VirtualDocumentRoot /var/www/%0/ in the enabled sites file tells apache2 that is is to do directory expansion adding the asked for URL to the normal DocumentRoot directory.

+As you can see, now all you have to do is put links to your directories
+in URL format and it all "just works". ;)
-Files will be included soon.
