Virtual Host

Now we need to create the virtual host file to show Ticaga to the world.

Let's create the folder first:

sudo mkdir -p /var/www/ticaga

Let's provide the correct permissions:

sudo chown -R $USER: /var/www/ticaga

Time to create the ticaga configuration file, in our example we're installing on https://ubuntu.ticaga.com for testing:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/ubuntu.ticaga.com.conf

Paste and edit the following for your needs:

<VirtualHost *:80>
     ServerName ubuntu.ticaga.com
     DocumentRoot /var/www/ticaga/public
     <Directory /var/www/ticaga/public>
          Options FollowSymlinks
          AllowOverride All
          Require all granted
          <Files .env>
                Order allow,deny
                Deny from all
          </Files>
     </Directory>
     ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/ubuntu.ticaga.com_error.log
     CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/ubuntu.ticaga.com.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Now we need to activate our new config:

sudo a2ensite ubuntu.ticaga.com.conf

And disable the default one:

sudo a2dissite 000-default.conf

Now restart Apache:

systemctl reload apache2
