Create a virtual host for a custom application

Understand virtual host configuration files

Bitnami installations that use system packages contain virtual host configuration files for applications in the /opt/bitnami/apache/conf/vhosts directory.

• The APPNAME-vhosts.conf file contains the default configuration for the HTTP virtual host. This configuration applies to applications accessed through an HTTP URL, such as http://myapp.example.com.

  NOTE: Replace the APPNAME placeholder with the identifier of the Bitnami application name, i.e. wordpress.

    <VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80 _default_:80>
      ServerAlias *
      DocumentRoot /opt/bitnami/APPNAME
      <Directory "/opt/bitnami/APPNAME">
        Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
      </Directory>
    </VirtualHost>
  

• The APPNAME-https-vhosts.conf file contains the default configuration for the HTTPS virtual host. This configuration applies to applications accessed through an HTTPS URL, such as https://myapp.example.com.

    <VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:443 _default_:443>
      ServerAlias *
      DocumentRoot /opt/bitnami/APPNAME
      SSLEngine on
      SSLCertificateFile "/opt/bitnami/apache/conf/bitnami/certs/server.crt"
      SSLCertificateKeyFile "/opt/bitnami/apache/conf/bitnami/certs/server.key"
      <Directory "/opt/bitnami/APPNAME">
        Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
      </Directory>
    </VirtualHost>
  

Define virtual host configuration

Bitnami installations enable virtual hosts by default.
