By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

This guide walks through creating a virtual host configuration file for Apache on a Linux/Ubuntu system. Steps include editing the sites-available file, enabling the site with a2ensite, reloading Apache, and updating the hosts file to point the domain to 127.0.0.1. The tutorial is aimed at developers familiar with basic server administration.
