so i think all is good , after i create in /var/www/ one directory called sites (where i gnna past all my website ) and i copy tow website ( directories ) inside this directory : site1 and utopic_flowers. now i can access to my website from another computer (outside my network) with this syntax :
public_ip_address/sites/site1/
and
public_ip_address/sites/utopic_flowers/
now how can i set a domain name for those websites , where i can access to it by this syntax :
www.site1.com
and
www.utopic_flowers.com
thank you in advance.
You need to create config files for your websites.
In ubuntu they are stored in /etc/apache2/sites-available folder.
After you will create 2 new config files for your websites you will need to enable them with a2ensite websiteconfigname command then restart apache2 service.
