I have laravel setup and I am trying to create subdomain routing. Basically my route needs to accept this parameter
blog.example.dev
I have my routes set up now I just need to create virtual host. As my domain in laravel app accepts blog.example.dev . What are the steps I need to do in order to create the virtual host? Also any other changes should I make in application like htaccess.
I am using latest version of laravel
For the OS I am using Ubuntu 17.
Edit: Making virtual host is quite easy in linux but it doesn't work anything like how I imagined. The laravel serve should start the page but it doesn't and page is unreachable even if I make virtual host. Any tips would be great I have tried to create virtual host via DigitalOcean blog.

A while back, Google purchased the .dev TLD (Top Level Domain). At that time, they announced that they had no plans for it and that they were only going to use it for internal purposes. For years, the .dev TLD was primarily used for developers and designers to use in their local development environments. It was considered general acceptable use and, as a result, developers everywhere are now running sites locally which may now be affected.
Recently Google announced that in a soon to be released update to Chrome, they will be forcing .dev to HTTPS. In short, this means that if you are running local sites using .dev AND running Google Chrome, you will find your site unreachable. Fortunately, there are a couple of options which are fairly simple to implement to get around this issue. Keep in mind that since .dev has been a standard TLD for local development for some time, this new policy by Google will affect you whether you are using DesktopServer or any other local development tool which utilizes the .dev TLD. This issue is NOT specific to DesktopServer.
Therefore you need to use any other extension other than .dev like .com, .test. In your virtual hosts file of apache add new entry as follows:-
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#dev.blog.com
ServerName dev.blog.com
ServerAlias dev.blog.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/blog/public
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
And add this new entry to your local machine hosts file:-
127.0.0.1 dev.blog.com
Restart the apache server to load new changes.
Note:- blog is the name of your laravel project. Change it according to what you have named.
`<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#dummy.com
ServerName projectname.local
ServerAlias projectname.local
DocumentRoot "c:xampp/htdocs/projectname/public"
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>`
Make virtual host using .local
127.0.0.1 projectname.local
Add this line in your host file
And restart your local server
Solved
Basically I just created the virtual host but I noticed some strange behaviour in laravel after placing subdomain on top of file it worked. I didn't knew that laravel would process suddomain routes first and if you place subdomain routes after some routes then it didn't work then you would not get desired routes.
About apache it seems that I couldn't make the subdomain work and from what I have learned in local environment how it works is that domain must come first here.
ServerAlias blog.example.dev didn't work in ServerName example.dev domain.
I created two seperate virtual host one for example.dev and another for blog.example.dev. Also thanks to parthu_panther I changed the .dev to another .local.
Also the hosts file was same
127.0.0.1 example.local
127.0.0.1 blog.example.local
Please correct me if I am wrong.

I am very new in PHP and moreover in Laravel (I came from Java) and I am going totaly crazy trying to correctly deploy a Laravel 5.4 projects that works fine in my XAMPP local environment on my Linux server. The problem should be related to virtual host configuration but I can't find a solution also asking question and reading documentation.
In my local environment (I am using XAMPP on Windows) I have setted this virtual host into the C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/HotelRegistration/public"
ServerName laravel.dev
</VirtualHost>
So opening the laravel.dev URL I obtain the standard Laravel homepage (I have yet not replaced it with a landing page).
Then if I open this URL: http://laravel.dev/registration
I obtain the user registration page developed by me, this because I have this route into my web.php file into my project:
Route::resource('/registration', 'RegistrationController');
Then into my RegistrationController.php there is this method showing the resources/views/registration/index.blade.php view
public function index(){
return view('/registration/index');
}
In local environment, with the laravel.dev vhost pointing to the document root of my Laravel website, it works fine.
Now I have uploaded this Laravel website into my remote Linux server, into this folder: /var/www/html/HotelRegistration
But now my problem is that in this remote environment I had not virtual host (correct me if I am doing wrong assertion: from what I have understand the virtual host is used on the local environment to simulate a domain that Laravel need to point to the public folder, is it this reasoning correct?)
Anyway, this is the URL of the public folder of my deployed web site on my remote server:
http://89.36.211.48/HotelRegistration/public/
As you can see opening it the Laravel landing page is correctly shown, the problem is that I can access to the previous registration page, the only way that I have found is to open this URL:
http://89.36.211.48/HotelRegistration/public/index.php/registration
but it is pretty horrible and above all when the registration form is submitted it is generated a POST request toward this URL http://89.36.211.48/registration that end into a 404 Not Found error.
In the past I explained the situation here: What is wrong in the deploy of this Laravel application? Need I an effective domain instead the vhost used on my local environment?
but now I have do some changes to my Apache configuration followint the suggestion given in the previous post (adapting the answer to my folder structure).
So into this Apache folder /etc/apache2/sites-available I created and enabled the laravel.dev.conf related to my new vhost, having this configuration:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin mymain#gmail.com
ServerName 89.36.211.48
ServerAlias www.laravel.dev
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/HotelRegistration/public/
ErrorLog /var/www/html/HotelRegistration/storage/logs/error.log
CustomLog /var/www/html/HotelRegistration/storage/logs/access.log combined
<Directory /var/www/html/HotelRegistration/public/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
The path are related to where this website is installed on my remote server I am absolutly not sure if these configuration are ok, expecially about the ServerName value (I put here the IP of my server, is it correct?)
Then I enabled this virtual host using this statment:
sudo a2ensite laravel.dev.conf
and I restart apache.
Ok, the problem now is: what have I to do to correctly access to this website?
I still have the same problem, that is:
I still access to the Laravel landing page by this URL: http://89.36.211.48/HotelRegistration/public/
I still access to the registration form page by the horrible URL: http://89.36.211.48/HotelRegistration/public/index.php/registration
Submitting the form I still go to http://89.36.211.48/registration and obtain the same 404 Not Found error page.
So my doubts are:
Is it the virtual host correctly configured?
If it is correct what have I to do to correctly access to this web site? Need I a domain (if yes: what have to point this domain?) or can I use a path into my server in some way (something like: http://89.36.211.48/HotelRegistration/)
I am expanding my comment here.
Set folder structure like on image:
In index.php change paths like this:
line 22
require __DIR__.'/system/bootstrap/autoload.php';
line 36
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/system/bootstrap/app.php';
Thats all what I do when transferring Laravel app to server (and changing .env for database). Sometimes I have to change permissions for storage folders but thats it.
I Have a webserver running on my raspberry pi and I am using it for multiple projects. I can easily enough access the different pages with something of the from ip-addrss\project-name.php. I was looking to eliminate the ip address and found I could set up the domain names on my router. so http:/projector or projector.local redirects to the raspberry pi. The problem is it always goes to the default page. I can setup http:/ProjectA and http:/ProjectB but they both go to index.php. is there a way in php to redirect based on the url used to get there. so index.php would redirect to projectA.php or projectB.php depending on which url was used? I looked through $_SERVER and $_POST but they didn't seem to have the right information. Some research lead me to believe apache could do this but I have experience configuring apache.
You COULD do it in PHP, by checking $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], but that value can be manipulated by who is making the request. So I can access http://ProjectA while specifying the headers host: ProjectB or similar, and you will think that it's ProjectB.
In fact, if you look at the HTTP request, HTTP_HOST is the only way one would determine the domain name. So it doesn't matter if you do it in PHP or Apache.
In Apache, you could do it by enabling vhosts mod for apache. If you're running linux, the command line might be something like this a2enmod vhosts_alias. This will allow you to configure different hosts, determined by the host HTTP header, and IP. Each virtual host points to an individual directory. You can have 2 hosts pointing at the same directory, but you'd have to modify the directory properties, something like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
ServerName ProjectA
ServerAlias www.ProjectA #you can skip this line if it doesn't apply
DocumentRoot /var/www/foo
<Directory "/var/www/foo">
DirectoryIndex ProjectA.php
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
I didn't try to configure the same directory differently for 2 different hosts. My instincts say that it should work, but it may not.
Here's a guide on how to configure virtual hosts on Ubuntu. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-apache-virtual-hosts-on-ubuntu-14-04-lts
I have no idea how different it is on Raspberry Pi. But the apache config files should have exactly the same syntax and rules. Only paths and commands might differ.
On my CentOS Linux VPS I have full LAMP installed. I have a CakePHP website (and intend to add a few more) as a virtual host. I also have a web based bug tracker called MantisBT that is implemented in PHP. I'd like to set up my Apache configuration file (/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf) to index both side-by-side. My websites are not in DNS. I access them using the raw IP number.
Here's my directory structure:
/var/www/
MyCakePhPApp/
html/
mantisbt/
Here's what I have in my httpd.conf file:
# This makes my MantisBT work under http:/<my_ip>/mantisbt
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
# This makes my CakePhP work under http:/<my_ip>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#tecadmin.net
ServerName example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/MyCakePhPApp
<Directory /var/www/MyCakePhPApp>
Allowoverride All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
With this my CakePhP is accessible as "http:/my_ip" but my mantisbt site is not accessible. "http:/my_ip/mantisbt" goes to CakePhP and says that controller is missing. If I comment out the entire VirtualHost, then Mantis is indeed accessible as: "http:/my_ip/mantisbt", but of course then my CakePHP site is not accessible.
Does anyone know how to get both these websites working side-by-side?
Virtual host not working in the NETWORK
I just followed this site tutorial,
Virtual host steps
The tutorial was excellent but when I try this alias URL in another system, its not working. I have checked in my other system, I am able to see my application, after I did these changes I am not able to see my application on the other system.
I have even changed Allow from 127.0.0 to all but that is not working.
My C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.11\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf
This what I added
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#developertalk
DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www/developertalk"
ServerName developertalk
ServerAlias www.developertalk
ErrorLog "logs/developertalk-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/developertalk-access.log" common
<directory "C:/wamp/www/developertalk">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from all
</directory>
</VirtualHost>
When hitting URL in another system, getting following error:
Server not found
In my local host i am having 3 web application.
Due to above changes my local host other sites not working.
How to make it work other sites.
You need to use local DNS to say every PC in Your network, that You have on Your PC host 'myApp', also You can add to every client's hosts file something like myapp 192.168.1.2 where 192.168.1.2 Your static IP in network
For every computer you want to have access to http://developertalk, you need to edit the Hosts file in each one.
Located at (xp/win7): C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\
You need to add only 1 line on every computer.
(your static internal ip) www.developertalk
example:
192.168.1.71 www.developertalk
you can check your internal ip address on your windows by opening cmd and typing ipconfig.
Look for the IPv4 address under the Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection column.
If you don't request or assign a static internal IP to your computer, others will not be able to connect to http://developertalk which was forwarded to your old internal IP.
Egor Sazanovich has actually answered your question and provided you with extra information, so accept his instead of this one, if this helped at all.
I am trying to install two independent, separate CakePHP applications using different databases and domains.
The goal is to be able to access these sites just by typing in the different domain names, i.e. instead of typing localhost/controllerName ideally would be client1/controllerName and client2/controllerName or just anything to differentiate the names and access to the apps.
I am using WAMPSERVER (it is Apache 2.2.17 + mySQL + PHP + phpMyAdmin).
I have already found some tutorials but part of them is just messy, part of them doesn't really refer to my case.
Thanks in advance!
Setup multiple virtual hosts
To do what you ask all you need to do is setup multiple virtual hosts i.e. in your apache config file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName client1.dev
DocumentRoot /my/apps/are/here/client1/webroot
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName client2.dev
DocumentRoot /my/apps/are/here/client2/webroot
</VirtualHost>
You'll also need to edit your hosts file or router so that it contains:
127.0.0.1 client1.dev client2.dev
With that, http://client1.dev and http://client2.dev will both point at your local machine and each domain map to a different application.
maybe this helps:
