Creating a Scorpio development environment
Configuring Apache
We will now turn our attention to the Apache server. We need to create a vhosts.conf entry so that the websites folder and our sites can be accessed. This is a very basic setup and does not look at any advanced Apache configuration directives.
First we need to create the vhosts.conf file, or update an existing one:
nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/vhosts.conf
The following should be entered as the basic configuration:
# default virtual host
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
</VirtualHost>
# scorpio site definitions
<Directory "/home/sites/scorpio/websites/base">
Options +MultiViews +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /home/sites/scorpio/websites/base
ServerName site.local
ServerAlias *.site.local
</VirtualHost>
Save the changes (Ctrl+O, Ctrl+X) and first test the config file to make sure there are no errors in it:
service httpd configtest
Finally, either start, restart or perform a graceful restart of the apache service:
service httpd graceful
A graceful restart will restart the server without taking it offline.
