Examples below are from a working Debian 8 + Apache 2.4 + MySQL 5.6 + PHP 5.6 + Varnish web server at Google Cloud Platform – Compute Engine.
I use port 8080 to work with varnish set up on port 80. If you don’t use varnish – change ports in config to :80 instead of :8080.
Example default virtual host config
/your-installation-folder/sites-available/default.conf
NameVirtualHost *:8080 <VirtualHost *:8080> DocumentRoot /var/www <Directory "/var/www"> allow from all Options None </Directory> </VirtualHost>
Example php website virtual host config
/your-installation-folder/sites-available/php-website.conf
<VirtualHost *:8080>
DocumentRoot /var/www/php-website/
ServerName php-website.org
ServerAlias www.php-website.org
<Directory "/var/www/php-website/">
allow from all
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Example wordpress website virtual host config
