Drupal, TYPO3: September 2016

I've installed TYPO3 version 7.6.10 in Ubuntu 14.04 successfully. Now my aim is to setup a sub-domain for this installation.

We can first configure vhost and then install TYPO3 as well.

Here i am using Apache as a Web Server.

In Ubuntu i've set web drectory (WWW) to /home/nirmalya/Public/ instead of /var/www/html/

So i will explain the configuration steps accordingly.

Say, my TYPO3 installation is here in /home/nirmalya/Public/t7610.local where "t7610.local" is root directory of TYPO3.

i.e. In browser http://localhost/t7610.local/ should be http://t7610.local/

For better understanding and to remember i've divided this into 4 steps. I'll try to concise it as well.

To edit files i've used gedit instead of nano editor.

1. Create & Update Conf file for Apache:

Execute this command from your Shell to crate a new configuration file for thw sub-domain.

sudo cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/t7610.local.conf

After copying the default conf file we need to edit this conf file with this command

sudo gedit /etc/apache2/sites-available/t7610.local.conf

Add the necessary configuration lines inside this file.

At the end it should look like

-------------------

ServerAdmin myemail@gmail.com

ServerName t7610.local

DocumentRoot /home/nirmalya/Public/t7610.local

ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log

CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

</VirtualHost>

-------------------

2. Symlink the conf file for Apache:

Now i'll create a symlink to t7610.local.conf file by executing command like this

sudo a2ensite t7610.local.conf

sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/t7610.local.conf /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/t7610.local.conf

3. Update in hosts file:

Update the hosts file with the new domain entry

So execute this command from your Shell

sudo gedit /etc/hosts/

and add the line below at the end of the file

127.0.0.1 t7610.local

Considering that 172.0.0.1 is your local IP Address.

4. Restart Apache:

Never ever forget to Re-start the Apache web server ;)

So, please execute this Shell command

sudo service apache2 restart

Now in your browser type http://t7610.local/ and your website will now available in this sub-domain.
