    As the name suggested, Virtual Host is a technique to create a virtual URL of a website. For example on the local server we generally run a project like http://localhost/xyz but if you want to run this project like http://www.xyz.com on your local system. Virtual host will work for you.

    Please follow the below step to set virtual host:

    1) Please open /etc/hosts file. This file will appear like below:

    127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.1.1 vivek-System-Product-Name

    The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts

    ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

    Please add an another line on third row 127.0.1.1 xyz.com www.xyz.com

    Save this file and close

    2) Please open /etc/apache2/sites-available/default file. Copy the complete content of this file and paste this on the bottom of this file and make the changes as below:

    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

    1. DocumentRoot /var/www
    2. <Directory />
    3.     Options FollowSymLinks
    4.     AllowOverride All

    6. <Directory /var/www/>
    7.     Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews

    35.     Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
    36. </Directory>

    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

    1. DocumentRoot /var/www/xyz
    2. <Directory />
    3.     Options FollowSymLinks
    4.     AllowOverride All

    6. <Directory /var/www/xyz>
    7.     Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    8.     AllowOverride All
    9.     Order allow,deny
    10.     allow from all
    11. </Directory>
    12.  
    13. ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
    14. <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
    15.     AllowOverride None
    16.     Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
    17.     Order allow,deny
    18.     Allow from all
    19. </Directory>
    20.  
    21. ErrorLog ${APACHE&#95;LOG&#95;DIR}/error.log
    22.  
    23. # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
    24. # alert, emerg.
    25. LogLevel warn
    26.  
    27. CustomLog ${APACHE&#95;LOG&#95;DIR}/access.log combined
    28.  
    29. Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"
    30. <Directory "/usr/share/doc/">
    31.     Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
    32.     AllowOverride None
    33.     Order deny,allow
    34.     Deny from all
    35.     Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
    36. </Directory>

    3) Restart the server again. Now you can run xyz project link: http://www.xyz.com on your local system.
