Create multiple virtual hosts (Linux Mint 18.2)

Question

I have vhost with following conf (localhost.conf) file (this needs to be like this in order for an app I am working on to work properly (please don't ask why I didn't make the setup)):

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin [email protected]
    ServerName localhost
    #ServerAlias www.wp.dev
    DocumentRoot /home/sasha/Documents/Scopic/STS/project/timesheetapprovalsgit/timesheet_ui/web

    <Directory /home/sasha/Documents/Scopic/STS/project/timesheetapprovalsgit/timesheet_ui>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride all
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all
        require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

I am trying to add new vhost (prst.conf):

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin [email protected]
    ServerName prst.app
    ServerAlias www.prst.app
    DocumentRoot /home/sasha/Documents/Scopic/PerformanceReview/project/performance-review-status-tracking/public

    <Directory /home/sasha/Documents/Scopic/PerformanceReview/project/performance-review-status-tracking>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride all
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all
        require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

My hosts file:

127.0.0.1   localhost
127.0.0.1   www.prst.app

The main issue I have at the moment is that whenever I go to www.prst.app, I am redirected to the localhost. Does anyone have an idea what am I doing wrong here?

Answer 1

Your server name is defined as:

  ServerName prst.app

so define in /etc/hosts prst.app not www.prst.app

127.0.0.1   prst.app

To access www.prst.app create new virtual host and new record in /etc/hosts
