VPS setup:- Apache installation:- # apt-get install apache2 Mysql-server installation:- # apt-get install mysql-server (provide mysql root password when asked) Php installation:- # apt-get install php5 php5-mysql php5-curl php5-gd php5-mcrypt Enabling mode wrerite :- # vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf add bellow lines DocumentRoot /var/www/html <Directory /var/www/html> Allowoverride All </Directory> # a2enmod rewrite # service apache2 restart 5
- 6. DNS server Setup:- Installing dns server:- #apt-get install bind9 Creating zone file:- # mkdir /etc/bind/zone # cp /etc/bind/db.local /etc/bind/zone/mevijay.in # vim /etc/bind/zone/mevijay.in 6

- 8. Phpmyadmin installation: # apt-get install phpmyadmin give mysql root password 3 times while asking Phpmyadmin is reachable on http://mevijay.in/phpmyadmin 8
- 9. Virtual host :- To host another website first set server name and alias of current website or domain. # vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf 9
- 10. Virtually host a new website requires bellow steps: 1. New virtualhost configuration file for apache . 2. New document root directory. 3. New dns zone configuration 10
- 11. New Virtualhost in apache:- # mkdir /var/www/mydomain # cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf /etc/apache2/sites- available/mydomain.conf # vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/mydomain.conf Make changes now everywhere as per new website i.e. change mevijay.in to mydomain.com Save the file # a2ensite mydomain.conf ( this command will create a link file of /etc/apache2/sites- available/mydomain.conf into /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mydomain.conf. Without using the command you can create a link file by using ln s command) # service apache2 restart or service apache2 reload 11
- 12. New Dns zone for new website:- Please note that once you got a name server setup i.e ns1.mevijay.in and ns2.mevijay.in for my case, you do not need to setup new name server for each domain. Just enter name server address ( ns1.mevijay.in and ns2.mevijay.in in my case) for all other domain ( into their domain control panel) Considering above scenario I have new domain i.e. mydomain.com and I am going to create a new zone for this. # cp /etc/bind/zone/mevijay.in /etc/bind/zone/mydomain.com # vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/mydomain.conf 12
- 13. # vim /etc/bind/named.conf.default-zones Now copy lines having mevijay.in zone entry to bellow and make changes for new domain. As per bellow screen. 13
- 14. Save the file now and restart the service # service bind9 restart 14
