<emphasis>sites-available:</emphasis> this directory has configuration files for Apache2 <emphasis>Virtual Hosts</emphasis>. Virtual Hosts allow Apache2 to be configured for multiple sites that have separate configurations.

298.

<emphasis>sites-enabled:</emphasis> like mods-enabled, <filename role="directory">sites-enabled</filename> contains symlinks to the <filename>/etc/apache2/sites-available</filename> directory. Similarly when a configuration file in sites-available is symlinked, the site configured by it will be active once Apache2 is restarted.

299.

In addition, other configuration files may be added using the <emphasis>Include</emphasis> directive, and wildcards can be used to include many configuration files. Any directive may be placed in any of these configuration files. Changes to the main configuration files are only recognized by Apache2 when it is started or restarted.

300.

The server also reads a file containing mime document types; the filename is set by the <emphasis>TypesConfig</emphasis> directive, and is <filename>/etc/mime.types</filename> by default.

This section explains Apache2 server essential configuration parameters. Refer to the <ulink url="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/">Apache2 Documentation</ulink> for more details.

Apache2 ships with a virtual-host-friendly default configuration. That is, it is configured with a single default virtual host (using the <emphasis>VirtualHost</emphasis> directive) which can modified or used as-is if you have a single site, or used as a template for additional virtual hosts if you have multiple sites. If left alone, the default virtual host will serve as your default site, or the site users will see if the URL they enter does not match the <emphasis>ServerName</emphasis> directive of any of your custom sites. To modify the default virtual host, edit the file <filename>/etc/apache2/sites-available/default</filename>.

304.

The directives set for a virtual host only apply to that particular virtual host. If a directive is set server-wide and not defined within the virtual host settings, the default setting is used. For example, you can define a Webmaster email address and not define individual email addresses for each virtual host.

305.

If you wish to configure a new virtual host or site, copy that file into the same directory with a name you choose. For example:

307.

Edit the new file to configure the new site using some of the directives described below.

308.

The <emphasis>ServerAdmin</emphasis> directive specifies the email address to be advertised for the server's administrator. The default value is webmaster@localhost. This should be changed to an email address that is delivered to you (if you are the server's administrator). If your website has a problem, Apache2 will display an error message containing this email address to report the problem to. Find this directive in your site's configuration file in /etc/apache2/sites-available.
