create virtual host
Localhost name will be : api.local.btv
file's path : /var/www/html/projectfolder/api/web
Step 1 :
create conf file with below command
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/api.local.btv.conf
Step 2 : paste below code and save and exit
<VirtualHost *:80>
# The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that
# the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
# redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
# specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
# match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
# value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
# However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.
#ServerName www.example.com
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/projectfolder/api/web
ServerAdmin admin@example.com
ServerName api.local.btv
ServerAlias api.local.btv
# Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,
# error, crit, alert, emerg.
# It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular
# modules, e.g.
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
# For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are
# enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to
# include a line for only one particular virtual host. For example the
# following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only
# after it has been globally disabled with "a2disconf".
#Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf
</VirtualHost>
Step 3 : sudo a2ensite api.local.btv.conf
Step 4 : sudo service apache2 restart.
Step 5: Enter one entry into /etc/hosts file as below
127.0.0.1 api.local.btv
And it’s done. TADA.
