CentOS Stream 10

How to set up Apache Virtual Host on CentOS Stream 10

To set up and configure an Apache Virtual Host on CentOS Stream 10, follow the steps below.

Step 1 : Begin by updating your CentOS Stream 10 system to ensure you have the latest security patches and software updates.

sudo dnf update -y

Step 2 : If Apache is not already installed, install it using the following command:

sudo dnf install httpd -y

Step 3 : Create a directory to hold your website files. For example, for the domain example.com:

sudo mkdir /var/www/example.com

Step 4 : Add an index.html file to the web directory as a placeholder for your website:

echo "<html><body><h1>Welcome to example.com</h1></body></html>" | sudo tee /var/www/example.com/index.html

Step 4 : Set appropriate ownership and permissions for the web directory:

sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/example.com
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/example.com

Step 5 : Create Virtual Host Configuration

Create a virtual host configuration file for your domain:

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/example.com.conf

Add the following content:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@example.com
    ServerName example.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/example.com
    ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/example_error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/httpd/example_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Save and exit the file.

Step 6 : Test your Apache configuration for syntax errors:

sudo apachectl configtest

If no errors are found, restart Apache to apply the changes:

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Step 7 : Open a web browser and navigate to your domain (e.g., http://example.com).

Congratulations! You have successfully set up an Apache Virtual Host on CentOS Stream 10.
