Another way to quickly enable/disable websites available in the sites-available/ directory;
sudo a2ensite websiteFileNameThatYouMade
sudo a2dissite websiteFileNameThatYouMade

All the a2ensite/a2dissite does is make or destroy the link quickly for you. When enabling new mods on a Ubuntu Apache server (like mod_rewrite) it’s similarly done by “sudo a2enmod rewrite”.

Reloading Apache’s configuration (rather than restarting it) is also good when peeps move up into a production environment

sudo service apache2 reload
or
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload

Yet again Rick another great short and to the point tip. I’ll certainly be using this setup myself as it makes a lot of sense to have different projects set up this way.

Thanks!
