Chapter 18: Set Up Your First Virtual Host (Part 1)
If all the above testing is passed, it means that your Apache Webserver is working
normally. Now, the important moment come. You have to set up your first virtual
host in your webserver.
This is suggested that all virtual account should be created under the /var/www/html
directory.
In Chapter 7, you have registered a new domain (YourDomain.com). We will
use this domain as an example.
We will create the first Virtual Account of your new domain (YourDomain.com) under
the /var/www/html directory. Okay! Let's start.
1. Create a new directory for the Virtual Account
Open a command window. Move to the home directory:
cd /var/www/html
Create a new directory (yourdomain) for the virtual account.
mkdir yourdomain
Move to yourdomain directory
cd /yourdomain
Create a public_html directory for yourdomain virtual account.
mkdir public_html
I am sure you are familiar with this public_html directory. All webpages of yourdomain
Virtual Account must be saved in the public_html directory.

Prepare a homepage with the file name index.html. Save the homepage inside the
/var/www/html/yourdomain/public_html
