Create an apache virtual host in ubuntu 16.04

Let's create apache virtual host on your local computer.
Open your terminal and run following codes.

First go to your project folder using cd command
cd Projects/CodeIgniter/Login/
To get file path enter
pwd
This will give you file path of Login folder
/home/shyamali/Projects/CodeIgniter/Login

Now we can create a virtual host.

Step 1 : You have to create a virtual host
sudo vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/local.login.com.conf

This will open an empty file
Then paste following code inside the that file

<virtualHost *:80>
  # Admin email, Server Name (domain name) and any aliases
  ServerAdmin webmaster@domain1.com
  ServerName local.codeigniter.com
  ServerAlias www.local.codeigniter.com
  DirectoryIndex index.php
  DocumentRoot /home/shyamali/Projects/CodeIgniter/Login
  <Directory /home/shyamali/Projects/CodeIgniter/Login>
               # Require all granted
                # Options FollowSymLinks
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
                AllowOverride All
                Require all granted
                #Order deny,allow
                #Allow from all
  </Directory>
  ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error-mydomainname.com.log
  CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access-mydomainname.com.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Make sure to change ServerName, ServerAlias, DocumentRoot, Directory path according to your specifications. 

Step 2 : Enable site
sudo a2ensite local.codeigniter.com

Then it will display following message
Enabling site local.codeigniter.com.
To activate the new configuration, you need to run:
service apache2 reload

Step 3 : Then you have to restart apache
sudo service apache2 reload

Step 4 : Then you have to navigate your local site.
open hosts file
sudo vim /etc/hosts
Then enter your site name and local IP address and save it
127.0.0.2       www.local.codeigniter.com

Now you are all set up for your virtual host
type http://www.local.codeigniter.com/ in your browser and you will see codeigniter default page.


Congratulations !

Start coding with CodeIgniter using PhpStorm on Ubuntu 16.04

CodeIgniter uses MVC architecture.  Model  Stores php files which are communicate with the database. Get, store, update informations to the database are handled by php files in model. Login, registration, etc...  View  Stores php files which display informations in the browser. Tables, images, descriptions, etc..  Controller   Stores php files which make the connection between model and the view. When files in the model get information, the controller will call the relevant file in the view and display them to the user.
