Installing Vhosts

# XAMPP/LAMP Environment

After running the above commands, a vhost needs to be set up. This is how you do it in xampp for linux: Note: tested with Apache/2.4.12 (Unix)

  1. Set up your /etc/hosts by adding a new entry. This is what you'll use to access the CMS. It would be a wise idea to refer to your distribution's guide on how to do this. Example given:
# Custom vhosts
127.0.0.1    pxcms.localdomain
  1. Open /opt/lampp/etc/httpd.conf with your favorite editor and uncomment the inclusion of the /opt/lampp/etc/httpd.conf file.
  2. Modify /opt/lampp/etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf to suite your needs. DocumentRoot should point to /public. Here's an example:
<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "/opt/lampp/htdocs/pxcms/public"
    ServerName pxcms.localdomain
    ServerAlias www.pxcms.localdomain.com
    ErrorLog "logs/pxcms-error_log"
    CustomLog "logs/pxcms-access_log" common
</VirtualHost>

In this case, the CMS is installed in the pxcms directory under the htdocs root. pxcms.localdomain is used to access the CMS. Logs are stored in the logs/ directory under lampp root.
