Apache Config Generator

Generate an Apache VirtualHost for a static/PHP site or reverse proxy, with HTTPS redirect, permissions and per-site logs. Free, in your browser.

Generate Apache config

Configure your VirtualHost. We build the Apache config.

Apache VirtualHost
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName example.com
    ServerAlias www.example.com
    Redirect permanent / https://example.com/
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:443>
    ServerName example.com
    ServerAlias www.example.com
    SSLEngine on
    SSLCertificateFile      /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem
    SSLCertificateKeyFile   /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem

    DocumentRoot /var/www/example.com
    <Directory /var/www/example.com>
        Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/example.com-error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/example.com-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Save to /etc/apache2/sites-available/, enable with `a2ensite`, run `apachectl configtest`, then reload. Proxy mode needs mod_proxy; SSL needs mod_ssl.

About Apache configuration

An Apache VirtualHost defines how a domain is served: its document root or backend, TLS, permissions and logs. A standard setup listens on 443 with a certificate and redirects port 80 to HTTPS.

This generator produces a clean VirtualHost for a static/PHP site or a reverse proxy. After saving it, enable the site with a2ensite and always run apachectl configtest before reloading. Proxy mode requires mod_proxy and HTTPS requires mod_ssl.
