i was 13 mins in, had a crazy big smile on my face because this man is absolutely incredible. explains everything in an easy to understand way, been looking for a video to explain this to me, doesn't get any better then this👏
MY SYSTEM FREEZE UP AS WELL BUT THANK YOU FOR THIS TYPE OF CONTENT I'M SPEECHLESS ....GREAT WORK.@KEEPITTECHIE YOU GUYS ARE DOING .....GREAT WORK AND THANK YOU AGAIN.....BLESSING BE. ON TO U 4 EVER !!!!!!
My virtual host site is up & running. Thanks to your instructions and guide. I am able to connect withing the same server, but still unable to connect from outside. I am working on my router port forward/tunnel to obtain the remote access needed. Thanks again for your instruction, as I am one "major" step closer to completing.🙏
i was trying to host my website from three days day and night saw a lot of videos but all are useless infont of this tutotial it helped me a lot keep ot up bro
I've been scratching my head for the whole day setting up my laravel app in nginx and still having errors. but this ran the first time T___T thanks bro!
Would be cool if you continued a LAMP stack series with setups for page markup or PHP/Mysql Mediawiki or Wordpress CMS or even Node.js or Python and Django CMS. You talked briefly about a2enmod , which is needed for PHP and MYSQL modules and rewriting header info(mod rewrite) also would be nice to show when tweaking parameters like concurrent servers, fast cgi, turning off specific options and test them against "ab"(apache benchmark) command or check config with Ubuntu "apache2ctl" aka on Redhat based systems "apachectl" and the port 8080 is usually called the proxy port. Which is also good for subverting Internet companies block on port 80, as you mentioned. So you can setup a mirror of your real site or sites remotely to test or backup.
Thank you for watching. You make some very great points and I appreciate the feedback. I am looking at incorporating some of the things you suggested in future videos.
I followed this tutorial but I can't get the test sites to show on my local network. I have a server set up on my gigabyte brix and I use my laptop as a client. I am trying to host 2 websites on the server as demonstrated in your video but no matter what I do, when I test the web pages on my Laptop, they will never open. What I can only see is the default Apache page when I type my server's IP address on my laptop. Is there anything wrong with my server or the laptop?
@@fortebooks4595 You have to remember he set the proxy address to 8080. So you have to not only type in your ip address , but your proxy port. 127.0.0.1:8080 or your ip, what ever that maybe i.e 192.168.1.4:8080
i followed all the steps in this video but i am still getting the Apache2 default page and not the index.html file i created when i go to load the webpage. What am i missing?
I'm trying to get Apache2 to run on Ubuntu 20.04 and for some reason it keeps bringing up the default page when I access my webpage externally. Also it won't let me use my domain name to look at my actual page. Any help you might have would be great.
I'm impressed. You've taken me thru in 20 minutes more than the class/school I paid real money for. thank you for that. ONly problem is that you blew by a very important part at the end. I've got the website html all set up. apache2 loaded and activated. the .com.conf is set up, installed and save. I've got the port forwarding set up on my router( I think), for forwarding is set to # Service Name External Start Port Internal Start Port Internal IP address HTTP 80-80 80-80 192.168.1.3 I dont think that I need to use port 8080 on my isp, and I've created an html index.html file similar to yours in side my /var/www/. apach2 reloaded, active, domain name pointed to, what am I forgetting? I went step by step thru your vid. Permissions all set(755). My browser window (firefox, I'm on Debian10 Buster, ssh connected to ubuntu20.04 server on a separate computer system) browser window still says site can't connect. I've gone thru the process from installation, to apache2 set up from your vids, twice, and even tried port 8080, and still can't get it to work. any ideas?
It could be a few different things and its kind of hard for me to help you in the comments. Join my discord server and I'll try to help: discord.gg/YEGTeN
Apt was release a couple years ago to shorten the apt-get command. I can't remember when apt was released, but apt-get still works. Also apt-get is still needed because it still has more functions from apt, from what I remember. Check out the man page for both.
Hey mate Thanks for the video, very understandable. I followed every step but now i dont understand the last one: How can I configure my router to make the website visitable? Its actually the one step you didnt show. Do I have to go into my router settings and do something there? Thanks,
Great content bro, its really very informative. Just one question, suppose if i host this site on my laptop running linux server and I try to access this site from my mobile device connected over same wifi network. Then will the site be accesaible?
Hi there! Nice and explicative video, but having configured port forwarding in the router and domain.conf files, my webpage won´t load on the browser with 402 error. Any idea on why this might be? Thanks
Okay, so now I got to the point where I can resolve those names just from the VM I´m working with but when I try to resolve those names from another PC on my network or an external network I still get this error.
How do I connect to a server visa SSH? U mentioned something about it @ 1:20 I have a VM with ubuntu installed on it and I am unable to understand what you mean via SSH .
SSH is an application that allows you to connect to a remote server from the command line. Most Linux server when you install has OpenSSH server installed by default. You can use your user account to log in. Check out my video on where I briefly cover it. czcams.com/video/VvqJ5hZnpJ4/video.html
Very easy to follow tutorial, I was able to follow every step without error but at the end when I tried to access the created website I got error page "Unable to connect", what I might be mistaken? Thank you.
Hello I have this error when I enter the url Unknown Host Description: Unable to locate the server named "" --- the server does not have a DNS entry. Perhaps there is a misspelling in the server name, or the server no longer exists. Double-check the name and try again
Not sure if I'm in the right place here, because the video is about web servers and I only want/need to access my server on my local (home) network. I got an old desktop running Ubuntu, which I want to use to run Plex, Nextcloud and Pi-Hole. Do I need to configure Apache (as explained in the video) to make it possible to reach the services (like to reach the admin panels that can be reached through a web browser)? To be clear: I'm not looking for a way to connect to these sites (the admin panels and such) from another network then my home network.
So sorry for the delay! I have a couple videos that walk through the process of setting up Plex and Nextcloud. Pi Hole is not that difficult and I can make a video on the setup.
Thanks for the tutorial. I have a server set up on my gigabyte brix and I use my laptop as a client.

Strange i fallowed your instrutions to the letter, but somshow my 2 host, are showing 1 content. They have seprate conf files, They are both activated And they both point to a defrent folder structure with defrent index.html files.
Without seeing everything I can't really help you troubleshoot this problem. If you can please join my discord and I can try to assist you. discord.gg/vqPtFW
@@KeepItTechie Thank you for replying, i found it, because i send the 2 domeins to the same external ip adres of my home router, it doesnt know wich site it comes from. So i let 1 of the 2 site be send on a defrend port number. Then i put that port in the Host of apache2 config and open the port on ufw. This worked for me.
I have plesk, the control panel, and I am trying to add a domain but not to the control panel but outside like what u did, but the problem, it defaults to the control panel default page instead. It's like the control panel, Plesk, is overwriting sites-enabled and sites-available, let me know how I can bypass. The reason I am trying to bypass the control panel is because it limits to 3 domains on the free account btw
I'm so sorry but I am very unfamiliar with Plesk. Based on what I saw after reading about it, it look as thought this is similar to c-panel. They probably have controls in place to prevent people from going around their settings. I'm not 100% sure though. I'll search a little more.
@@KeepItTechie yes it’s like cPanel, just cheaper but also limited to only 3 domains. Anyway, I just created another droplet dedicated to the command line way until I become more advanced in the future to go around their settings
That most likely has to do with your browsers. Most browsers now a days default all request as https protocol. Since you most likly don't have a ssl cert installed on the server. Try removing the "s" and use http.
@@KeepItTechie This fix works :) I am in a corporate environment though and all subdomains are required to be https. I used letsencrypt to add a cert for the subdomain, but it didn't seem to do anything
Aloooha ; Great video.. Would you help me. I use rasp pi , your set up multiple web sites on apache ; I don't have domain names. how do I check the second website i created i have the one that comes with apache2 I named the second "with your set up" html2 ? I would appreciate your help . Thank you for your time.
what if you don't have a domain name and you access your site with your vps ip address (it's for testing) , what do u put as ServerName and ServerAlias cause i am following the guide but it wont work for me :(
It doesn't matter what you put there if thats the case. The configuration takes over once the domain name is translated to the IP address of the server by DNS, which you don't have. You can put www.example.com. In order to get to the site, you need to specify the folder on the server. Example 179.20.35.105/site_folder_name
@@KeepItTechie Thanks for the quick reply , not sure what i do wrong but i have performed the exact same steps like 10 times and i can only get to load the first site. i am sure i do everything correctly. If i change the DocumentRoot on my site1 .config to w/e of the two sites i have on var/www/site1 or site2 it works for both of them but i cant seem to make both configs to work at the same time , only one config seems to be working and i have both enabled.
@@ioannisandreadakis9067 Verify that the configuration file is in the sites-enabled directory for site2. Sometimes it doesn't create a symbolic link to the configuration file you created. Therefore you have to manually create the link. See ln command man page. Also, you may have to change the server name and alias to something different. Try example1.com for site1 and example2.com for site2. It may be getting confused.
Hi...First of all, thanks for this tutorial Second, I am assuming that you are using a virtual machine to run the server. I am just wondering how did you do to be able to copy/past from Ubuntu server to the host and vise-versa ?
I'm glad you asked. You can copy/paste within the terminal when using SSH. Whenever I install a server on hardware or on a VM I always tend to ssh into the server once it's built to do the configuration.
@@KeepItTechie I am stuck again and i need your help. I've followed the steps in this tutorial, but I am still not able to access the domain name, I get "DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN" on my browser. However, if I enter my local ip address , it works fine...What's the issue?
Hi this was very informative video.. but I have another requirement to add sub wild character domain.. like xxx.example.com.. can we do so? If yes how?
@@KeepItTechie These were my assignment requirements: Part 3.2: Apache virtual hosting Configure your apache server for virtual hosting. You are to create 2 different virtual hosts firstname_lastname.domain1.com and firstname_lastname.domain2.com having document roots /var/www/domain1 and /var/www/domain2 respectively. Add the following demo html pages in both document roots:
This is domain DOMAIN_NUMBER #Where DOMAIN_NUMBER is either 1 or 2 The domain belongs to YOUR_NAME #Where YOUR_NAME is your actual name Part 4: Desktop VM configuration On your Desktop VM, edit your /etc/hosts file and add entries for firstname_lastname.domain1.com and firstname_lastname.domain2.com to resolve to the Server 2 IP address. Part 5: Final steps On the desktop VM, open up firefox and point it to “firstname_lastname.domain1.com” Take a screenshot of the resulting webpage and call it domain1.png. point your browser to Faculty of Applied Science and Technology ::SYST28296 Linux Admin ::“firstname_lastname.domain2.com” Take a screenshot of the resulting webpage and call it domain2.png. Point firefox to the login page of webmin on the server, log in and take a screenshot and call it webmin.png ACTUALLY you have done your part well and displayed it on web too, what I meant to say is I followed you so well for part 3.2 of my assignment fully covered and expected more of firefox stuff. Somehow I couldn't figure out part 4 and 5 . Anyway, thanks for your effort! I learnt much more in your 20 mins video than my professor teaching for entire 3 hours . :)
If you want to access it from outside your network, I recommend that you should have a static IP. Most ISP's don't change your router IP as much anymore. The only time you will receive a new IP from your service provider when the router/modem is rebooted. It will work but you have to update your domain name every time your IP changes.
Sorry man. I'm not sure where you are hosting it but most cloud platforms have a way to connect to it directly within the counsel. I think its called LISH.
I have been spending hours in how to connect to my apache server from my other computers.
All I needed was the firewall.. you are a LEGEND! Thank you so much for bringing in the firewall ports!

Sorry I missed your post! Are you still having this issue?
what if you don't have a domain name and you access your site with your vps ip address (it's for testing) , what do u put as ServerName and ServerAlias cause i am following the guide but it wont work for me :(
It doesn't matter what you put there if thats the case. The configuration takes over once the domain name is translated to the IP address of the server by DNS, which you don't have. You can put www.example.com. In order to get to the site, you need to specify the folder on the server. Example 179.20.35.105/site_folder_name
@@KeepItTechie Thanks for the quick reply , not sure what i do wrong but i have performed the exact same steps like 10 times and i can only get to load the first site. i am sure i do everything correctly.
If i change the DocumentRoot on my site1 .config to w/e of the two sites i have on var/www/site1 or site2 it works for both of them but i cant seem to make both configs to work at the same time , only one config seems to be working and i have both enabled.
@@ioannisandreadakis9067 Verify that the configuration file is in the sites-enabled directory for site2. Sometimes it doesn't create a symbolic link to the configuration file you created. Therefore you have to manually create the link. See ln command man page.
Also, you may have to change the server name and alias to something different. Try example1.com for site1 and example2.com for site2. It may be getting confused.
Can you please share the commands?
I got you! I was planning on redoing the video on Ubuntu Server 22.04
Hi...First of all, thanks for this tutorial
Second, I am assuming that you are using a virtual machine to run the server. I am just wondering how did you do to be able to copy/past from Ubuntu server to the host and vise-versa ?
I'm glad you asked. You can copy/paste within the terminal when using SSH. Whenever I install a server on hardware or on a VM I always tend to ssh into the server once it's built to do the configuration.
@@KeepItTechie Do you mean that you are accessing the server through ssh from the host machine?
@@KeepItTechie Thanks, I just tried it...It works...And, you saved me a lot of time ;)
@@Ab-on5dj No problem. I'm glad that worked for you.
@@KeepItTechie I am stuck again and i need your help. I've followed the steps in this tutorial, but I am still not able to access the domain name, I get "DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN" on my browser. However, if I enter my local ip address , it works fine...What's the issue?
Hi this was very informative video.. but I have another requirement to add sub wild character domain.. like xxx.example.com.. can we do so? If yes how?
Load same site whatever the sub domain is
You have to create a separate virtual host file for each sub-domain and map it to the directory.
Thanks for the reply. But will it affect the performance if there are say 1000s of host files there?
awesome but at the last minute you blew it not showing how to display html file in web
I'm not sure what you mean? At the end of the video, I do show both HTML files I created on the server in the browser.

These were my assignment requirements:
Part 3.2: Apache virtual hosting
Configure your apache server for virtual hosting. You are to create 2 different virtual hosts
firstname_lastname.domain1.com and firstname_lastname.domain2.com having
document roots /var/www/domain1 and /var/www/domain2 respectively.
Add the following demo html pages in both document roots:
This is domain DOMAIN_NUMBER #Where DOMAIN_NUMBER is
either 1 or 2
The domain belongs to YOUR_NAME #Where YOUR_NAME is your actual
name
Part 4: Desktop VM configuration
On your Desktop VM, edit your /etc/hosts file and add entries for
firstname_lastname.domain1.com and firstname_lastname.domain2.com to resolve to
the Server 2 IP address.
Part 5: Final steps
On the desktop VM, open up firefox and point it to “firstname_lastname.domain1.com” Take
a screenshot of the resulting webpage and call it domain1.png. point your browser to
Faculty of Applied Science and Technology ::SYST28296 Linux Admin ::“firstname_lastname.domain2.com” Take a screenshot of the resulting webpage and call it
domain2.png.
Point firefox to the login page of webmin on the server, log in and take a screenshot and call
it webmin.png
ACTUALLY you have done your part well and displayed it on web too, what I meant to say is I followed you so well for part 3.2 of my assignment fully covered and expected more of firefox stuff. Somehow I couldn't figure out part 4 and 5 . Anyway, thanks for your effort! I learnt much more in your 20 mins video than my professor teaching for entire 3 hours . :)
I understand! Thanks! I'm glad it helped. Let me know if you have anymore questions. I'm happy to help. =)
Do I need static IP for this to work?
If you want to access it from outside your network, I recommend that you should have a static IP. Most ISP's don't change your router IP as much anymore. The only time you will receive a new IP from your service provider when the router/modem is rebooted. It will work but you have to update your domain name every time your IP changes.
@@KeepItTechie Thank you so much💪💪
shit i enabled ufw and after reboot it before added 22 ssh connection i locked down my vps shitttttttttttttt
Sorry man. I'm not sure where you are hosting it but most cloud platforms have a way to connect to it directly within the counsel. I think its called LISH.
@@KeepItTechie vpc also works but I just deleted and reinstalled the os to more practice. Thank for the awesome tutorials.
you were COX blocked port 80
Yeah cox block a lot of ports. They use the excuse that they are protecting their customers. They will open it if you purchase the business package.
