Apache VirtualHost Generator

Name: Wespner
Address: CZ
Price range: €€

Fill in a domain, pick static files or a reverse proxy, and get a complete <VirtualHost> block — SSL, logging, directory permissions and upload limits included. Nothing here is uploaded or run; copy it into /etc/apache2/sites-available/ yourself.

Basics

Domain & file

ServerName is what Apache matches the request's Host header against; everything else follows from it.

ServerName

ServerAliasoptional

space-separated

HTTP port

Config file name

Content

What this vhost serves

DocumentRoot

Files under this path are served directly. Permissions and <Directory> settings are below.

SSL

HTTPS virtual host

Enable a port 443 SSL VirtualHostAdds a second block with SSLEngine on and the cert paths below.

HTTPS port

SSLCertificateFile

SSLCertificateKeyFile

SSLCertificateChainFileoptional

older cert bundles only

Redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPSTurns the port 80 block into a redirect-only vhost, using mod_rewrite so the full path and query string survive.

Don't have a certificate yet? Generate the OpenSSL/Certbot commands with the SSL Certificate Command Generator this tool only references the resulting file paths.

Logging & access

Logs and directory permissions

ErrorLog

CustomLog

Directory Optionsstatic site mode only — a reverse proxy has no local directory to serve

IndexesFollowSymLinksMultiViews

AllowOverride

Require

Uploads

Request body size

Apache's own equivalent of nginx's client_max_body_size. Only needed if this vhost accepts uploads.

This vhost handles file uploadsAdds LimitRequestBody so large uploads aren't silently rejected by the default 1 MB-ish limit some distros ship.

Validation

Common mistakes, checked live

Ports do not collide

HTTP and HTTPS blocks use different ports.

Config file name ends in .conf

a2ensite will pick it up.

Every VirtualHost block is closed

A stray missing </VirtualHost> is a hand-editing mistake, not something this output can produce.
