Definite Linux newby, and after bumbling about with nothing working, I thought
I'd ask.
With the below setup, and an entry in my hosts file, FireFox complains with
Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at wtp4.atoztheworld.com.

- Multiple websites, each has it's own config file for mailman, custom
redirects, mod_rewrite, whatever
- Linux 3.2.0-60-generic / Ubuntu 12.04.4
# 1) create directories to hold website
/var/www/AZtheWorld
/var/www/AZtheWorld/htdocs
/var/www/AZtheWorld/logs
/var/www/AZtheWorld/index.html # Hello World output
/var/www/website2
etc.
# 2) The next thing to do is to enable virtual hosts in your Apache
configuration. The simplest way to do this is to create a file called
/etc/apache2/conf.d/virtual.conf and include the following content in it:
# # We're running multiple virtual hosts. # NameVirtualHost *
#TODO valid for my situation? Came from
[http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/412]
http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/412
#TODO [https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/vhosts/name-based.html]
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/vhosts/name-based.html says a reference is
needed in etc/apache2/httpd.conf but I do not see this referenced anywhere
else.
Is it required?? Does #2 handle it??
# 3) # AZtheWorld (/etc/apache2/sites-available/AZtheWorld)
# separate files for each site
<VirtualHost *>
#ServerAdmin [email protected]
#TODO find out about this
ServerName wtp4.atoztheworld.com
#ServerAlias example.com # used only if needed / wanted
# Indexes + Directory Root.
DirectoryIndex index.html
DocumentRoot /var/www/AZtheWorld
# CGI Directory
#ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/www/www.example.com/cgi-bin/
#<Location /cgi-bin>
#Options +ExecCGI
#</Location>
#TODO find out about this
# Logfiles
ErrorLog /var/www/AZtheWorld/logs/error.log
CustomLog /var/www/AZtheWorld/logs/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
# 4) enable sites and reload ( or restart? )
# a2dissite default #
# a2ensite AZtheWorld
# service apache2 restart
