In this tutorial, we will guide you how to add a new website or domain into your Ubuntu server with Apache and PHP.
\nBefore proceeding further make sure you have a working Ubuntu server with Apache, PHP, and MySQL<\/a>.
\nLogin to your server via SSH, In this example, am using putty<\/a> to connect the server with SSH.
\nNext, you will need to create the directory where you can put in all the files of your website. Most common directory name used worldwide is either \u201chtdocs\u201d or \u201cpublic_html\u201d. You may define your own name as you like.<\/p>\n

\n
mkdir -p \/home\/www\/domainame.com\/public_html\/<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
Do not forget to replace domainname.com with your domain name and in this article, I am using public_html as root document.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"ubuntu-create<\/a><\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Once created you have to give ownership permissions to that folder for your username.you can use the following command:<\/p>\n
\n
chown -R $USER:$USER \/home\/www\/domain.com\/public_html\/<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
\"Ubuntu<\/a><\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
You also need to change the permission of the \/home\/www\/ directory so your server\u2019s users can read and write files in it. Run the following command:<\/p>\n
\n
chmod -R 755 \/var\/www<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
\"ubuntu<\/a><\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Now we will create an index.html file into our web directory to check if everything is working good.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
nano \/home\/www\/cpanelplesk.com\/public_html\/index.html<\/pre>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Now its time to edit Apache virtual host file, first we can copy the default Apache configuration file by using the below command:<\/p>\n
\n
cp \/etc\/apache2\/sites-available\/default \/etc\/apache2\/sites-available\/domain.com<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
Now use nano editor to edit the config file:<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
nano \/etc\/apache2\/sites-available\/cpanelplesk.com<\/pre>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Once you are in Nano editor, edit a line named \u201cServerName\u201d and type your domain name:<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
ServerName cpanelplesk.com<\/pre>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"Ubuntu<\/a><\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
if you want to access your website using \u201cwww\u201d prefix, you can also add \u201cServerAlias\u201d line under the ServerName:<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
ServerAlias www.domain.com<\/pre>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Now define the document root directory whether \u201chtdocs\u201d or \u201cpublic_html\u201d. In this case, you need to edit the \u201cDocumentRoot\u201d line and change it as follows:<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
DocumentRoot \/var\/www\/domain.com\/public_html<\/pre>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"ubuntu<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Once done, simply save and exit the editor.<\/p>\n
Finally, restart or reload the apache2 service by using this command:<\/p>\n
\n
service apache2 restart\r\nor\r\nservice apache2 reload<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
Congratulation you are done. This is all about setting up a new website on Apache-based Ubuntu server. Once you feel everything is set up correctly, you may proceed to build your full website (e.g: installing WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, forum script, etc). Now you can access\u00a0your website through a web browser to test it. Obviously, you can do that after you\u2019ve setup BIND9 server<\/a> and update your domain NS at registrar end.<\/p>\n
