virtual host setup for linux
I have been doing Javascript programming for last 2 months, and haven’t worked on any Laravel application in that time. And when, on this weekend, I tried installing a laravel application, I forgot how to create the virtual host file for it. Because for every application, I like to use a domain, and NOT localhost:port. And I will tell you why we need to do make a domain for your applications.
Why do we need a domain?
As good as the php artisan serve command is, it is not going to be responsible for running your application in production mode.
If you have a virtual host setup for your application, let’s say test.site, it will tell your apache server in your machine to act as your server for your application, and you now don’t need to run the serve command and your application is still running.
And the serve command will try to run your application with it’s own settings, and when you move to a server, you will end up with many requirements that you need in order to host your application, and you wouldn’t know about that until you are actually installing your application on a real server.
So, having a real server on your side and running your application on it, gives you a heads up, on what would you need in order to run your application on a real server.
Let’s start with creating a virtual host file.
Virtual Host
It is just a symlink to your application which can be accessed via your link, in this case, test.site .
You can find these files inside your /etc/apache2/sites-available folder.
For example let’s create a virtual host file for a laravel application kept in /var/www/html/test
First go to, /etc/apache2/sites-available/ , copy 000-default.conf file or create a new file at that location with the name of the domain you want, i.e., test.site.conf .
Now, for the content of this file, I have created a gist,
| <VirtualHost *:80> | |
| ServerAdmin admin@server.in | |
| ServerName server.in | |
| ServerAlias server.in | |
| <Directory /var/www/html/project/public> | |
| Options Indexes FollowSymLinks | |
| AllowOverride All | |
| Require all granted | |
| </Directory> | |
| DocumentRoot /var/www/html/project/public/ | |
| ErrorLog /var/www/html/project/error.log | |
| CustomLog /var/www/html/project/access.log combined | |
| </VirtualHost> |
from which you can copy the content and paste in the file. Now you can replace the things as you desire.
ServerAdmin — It can be any email, I keep admin@domain.com
ServerName and ServerAlias — It needs to be the url you want, i.e., test.site
You can replace the project with the name of the application i.e., test .
Now you can save the file.
Now you need to tell apache that this conf file ready to be served, so you need to run this command:
sudo a2ensite test.site.conf
sudo service apache2 restart
dont forget to host the domain in host file
sudo nano /var/etc/hosts
update 127.0.1.1 yournewdomain.test (server alice)
a2ensite generally comes with apache installation. But you can install it externally as well.
And also you need to check if rewrites are enabled on the server. This is not the default setting, so you need to enable it.
You can enable the setting by running below command:
sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo service apache2 restart
This rewrite module will help run the links on your server. By that I mean, when you don’t run above command, other than the homepage, no other link in your application will work and you will get this error.


When you enable the rewrite module, it checks the .htaccess file and run all the links.
Now, there is just one step remaining, you need to add an entry in /etc/hosts file like below
127.0.0.1 test.site
This will tell the server, if any request comes from test.site you need to find its settings in conf file(if you find any) and run the appropriate application.
That’s it, now you can create a virtual host file of your own and run your applications like the way any server would do it.
Conclusion
Making a virtual host for you laravel applications can be really good for you in the long run. You can easily install your application on any apache server.
You now don’t need to run php artisan serve . Your application will directly be running and now you have some magic to show to your colleagues.
Happy learning….

PHP vs. Node.js
PHP and Node.js are both used for the server side development and thus have become a competitor for each other. Below are some differences based on different parameters to understand the two and make decision between the two giants.
Npm Vs Yarn
Fetching packages
- npm: npm fetches dependencies from the npm registry during every ‘npm install‘ command.
- Yarn: yarn stores dependencies locally, and fetches from the disk during a ‘yarn add‘ command (assuming the dependency(with the specific version) is present locally).
Commands changed in yarn after npm
| COMMAND | NPM | YARN |
|---|---|---|
| Install dependencies | npm install | yarn |
| Install package | npm install package_name npm install package_name@version_number | yarn add package_name yarn add package_name@version_number |
| Uninstall package | npm uninstall package_name | yarn remove package_name |
| Install dev package | npm install package_name –save-dev | yarn add package_name –dev |
| Update dev package | npm update package_name npm update package_name@version_number | yarn upgrade package_name yarn upgrade package_name@version_number |
| View package | npm view package_name | yarn info package_name |
| Global install package | npm install -g package_name | yarn global add package_name |
Commands same for npm and yarn:
| NPM | YARN |
|---|---|
| npm init | yarn init |
| npm run [script] | yarn run [script] |
| npm list | yarn list |
| npm test | yarn test |
| npm link | yarn link |
| npm login or logout | yarn login or logout |
| npm publish | yarn publish |
