This example demonstrates how to set up a virtual host on the Apache web server for an eZ publish installation located in "/var/www/example". Let's say that we want to access eZ publish by using the following URLs:
In order to achieve this, we need to set up both eZ publish and the web server so that they respond correctly to the different requests.
eZ publish needs to be configured to use the host access method. This can be done from within the web based setup wizard or by manually editing the global override for the site.ini configuration file: "/settings/override/site.ini.append.php". A typical configuration would look something like this:
... [SiteAccessSettings] AvailableSiteAccessList[] AvailableSiteAccessList[]=example AvailableSiteAccessList[]=example_admin MatchOrder=host HostMatchMapItems[]=www.example.com;example HostMatchMapItems[]=admin.example.com;example_admin ...
This configuration tells eZ publish that it should use the "example" siteaccess if a request starts with "www.example.com" and "example_admin" if the request starts with "admin.example.com". For more information about site management in eZ publish, please refer to the "Site management" part of the "Concepts and basics" chapter.
Assuming that...
...the following virtual host configuration needs to be added at the end of "http.conf":
NameVirtualHost 128.39.140.28 <VirtualHost 128.39.140.28> <Directory /var/www/example> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory> <IfModule mod_php4.c> php_admin_flag safe_mode Off php_admin_value register_globals 0 php_value magic_quotes_gpc 0 php_value magic_quotes_runtime 0 php_value allow_call_time_pass_reference 0 </IfModule> DirectoryIndex index.php <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteRule content/treemenu/? /index_treemenu.php [L] Rewriterule ^/var/storage/.* - [L] Rewriterule ^/var/[^/]+/storage/.* - [L] RewriteRule ^/var/cache/texttoimage/.* - [L] RewriteRule ^/var/[^/]+/cache/texttoimage/.* - [L] Rewriterule ^/design/[^/]+/(stylesheets|images|javascript)/.* - [L] Rewriterule ^/share/icons/.* - [L] Rewriterule ^/extension/[^/]+/design/[^/]+/(stylesheets|images|javascripts?)/.* - [L] Rewriterule ^/packages/styles/.+/(stylesheets|images|javascript)/[^/]+/.* - [L] RewriteRule ^/packages/styles/.+/thumbnail/.* - [L] RewriteRule ^/favicon\.ico - [L] RewriteRule ^/robots\.txt - [L] # Uncomment the following lines when using popup style debug. # RewriteRule ^/var/cache/debug\.html.* - [L] # RewriteRule ^/var/[^/]+/cache/debug\.html.* - [L] RewriteRule .* /index.php </IfModule> DocumentRoot /var/www/example ServerName www.example.com ServerAlias admin.example.com </VirtualHost>
Please note that it isn't necessary to create a separate virtual host block for "admin.example.com", it can be added to the existing block using the "ServerAlias" directive.
You can have apache1 and apache2 part in the sample vhost. That way allows to use one vhost for both servers.
