Virtualhost Manage Script

Bash Script to allow create or delete apache/nginx virtual hosts on Ubuntu on a quick way.

Installation

1. Download the script

2. Apply permission to execute:

    $ chmod +x /path/to/virtualhost.sh
   

3. Optional: if you want to use the script globally, then you need to copy the file to your /usr/local/bin directory, is better if you copy it without the .sh extension:

    $ sudo cp /path/to/virtualhost.sh /usr/local/bin/virtualhost
   

For Global Shortcut

    $ cd /usr/local/bin
    $ wget -O virtualhost https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RoverWire/virtualhost/master/virtualhost.sh
    $ chmod +x virtualhost
    $ wget -O virtualhost-nginx https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RoverWire/virtualhost/master/virtualhost-nginx.sh
    $ chmod +x virtualhost-nginx

Usage

Basic command line syntax:

$ sudo sh /path/to/virtualhost.sh [create | delete] [domain] [optional host_dir] [optional ip_address]

With script installed on /usr/local/bin

$ sudo virtualhost [create | delete] [domain] [optional host_dir] [optional ip_address]
