Creating a Virtual Host with Webmin

These instructions apply to Webmin version 1.570 and Ubuntu 10.04

1. Create a folder where you wish to store your sites files. 
   • You can do this in the Others > File Manager section. 
   • In this example we use: /var/www/vhosts/domainname.com/http/
2. Setup the vhost.
   • Click on Servers > Apache Web Server in the left hand menu.
   • Click the “create virtual host” tab.
   • You can leave most settings as their default values, but you should fill out the following:
     • Port: Generally, you’ll want to use port 80.
     • Document Root: This is folder where you site’s files will be stored. Pick the folder you created in step 1.
     • Server name: This is just your site’s domain name, e.g. domainname.com (leave out the www.)
   • Click “Create Now”
3. Add a server alias for www.domainname.com 
   • Click on the “Existing Virtual Hosts” tab in Servers > Apache Web Server.
   • Click the virtual server you just created.
   • Click on “Networking and Addresses”
   • In the “Alternate Virtual Server Names” box, add any additional server aliases you want to use for this site, such as www.domainname.com
   • Press “Save”.
4. Click “Apply Changes” to get Webmin to restart Apache.
5. vi /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default and add:   NameVirtualHost *
