Kindly assist me on how to create a virtual host, a detailed guide please?

Hello @veslorens ,

1. Open default.conf
2. create your entry like project1.dev:80
3. Safe your file
4. open on your local machine a shell and edit /etc/hosts and add project1.dev to 127.0.0.1, safe the file

Can you give an example, please?

Can you give an example, please?

@sebastienbages see my sample this is required to get this to work for a dev env environment i have proposed to add dns mask so you can use an extension as testing environment i am still waiting on feedback for this.

@alainseys
Hi, got it working in the dev environment. Thank you!
But I need to append the port 82 in the domain, eg. project1.dev:82
How can we make it work without appending the port 82?

[alainseys]

@veslorens this wil work if port 80 is not in use.
If not you will need to use dnsmasq i have made a PR if this comes trough the validation you can use this.

@veslorens do you need more information about this ?

I also need some help :)
Inside config/vhosts/default.conf I've added

		ServerAdmin [email protected]
		DocumentRoot ${APACHE_VHOSTS_DOCUMENT_ROOT}/exampletest/
		ServerName example.test
		ServerAlias www.example.test
		<Directory ${APACHE_VHOSTS_DOCUMENT_ROOT}/exampletest>
			AllowOverride all
		</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

and in www folder I've added a folder exampletest with an index.php in it containing Inside example.test
When I access http://example.test I see the default LAMP STACK page.
After docker compose up I can see in the terminal: AH00112: Warning: DocumentRoot [/var/www/vhosts/exampletest] does not exist
I am working on ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS and docker v26.1.4
Thanks in advance
