Apache virtual host basic template

September 25, 2018•69 words

This is where I start when I have to configure an Apache server: a simple virtual host template with ssl rewrite.

<VirtualHost *:80>

    ServerName my.domain.com
    ServerAlias my.domain.com

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} =off
    RewriteRule (.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}$1 [R,L]

</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:443>

    DocumentRoot "/path/to/htdocs"

    ServerName my.domain.com
    ServerAlias my.domain.com

    SSLEngine on

    SSLCertificateFile /path/to/ssl/files/ssl_certificate.crt
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/to/ssl/files/privatekey.pem
    SSLCertificateChainFile /path/to/ssl/files/IntermediateCA.crt

    DirectoryIndex index.html

    ErrorLog "|/path/to/bin/rotatelogs -l '/path/error_%Y-%m-%d.log' 86400"
    CustomLog "|/path/to/bin/rotatelogs -l '/path/access_%Y-%m-%d.log' 86400" common

</VirtualHost>
