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.
