Let's talk about how to set a domain name in ThinkPHP5

ThinkPHP5 is an excellent PHP development framework that supports the implementation of multiple operations and functions. When developing a project, we must consider how to set up the domain name to ensure that users can access our application. In this article, I will explain how to set up a domain name in ThinkPHP5.

1. Preparation

Before we start setting up the domain name, we need to ensure that the following operations have been completed:

• Install PHP and Apache/NGINX
• Downloaded and installed the ThinkPHP5 framework
• Created a new application in the framework.

2. Configure virtual host

To set up a domain name, we need to configure the virtual host first. VirtualHost file is a configuration file in Apache used to host multiple websites on the same server. To create a new virtual host, you need to complete the following operations:

• Open the httpd.conf file. This file is in the Apache installation directory.
• In the httpd.conf file, find and uncomment the following two lines:

LoadModule vhost_alias_module modules/mod_vhost_alias.so
Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

• Open the httpd-vhosts.conf file, which is in the httpd.conf file Include.
• Add the following code to configure the virtual host:

# VirtualHost Example:
# Anything between <virtualhost> and </virtualhost> will only apply to this VirtualHost
<virtualhost>
    ServerAdmin admin@example.com
    DocumentRoot "/path/to/your/app/public"
    ServerName yourdomain.com
    ServerAlias www.yourdomain.com
    ErrorLog "/path/to/your/app/error.log"
    CustomLog "/path/to/your/app/access.log" common
    <directory>
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </directory>
</virtualhost>

In configuration:

• ServerAdmin: Administrator’s email address
• DocumentRoot: Your application's web directory. You need to change it to your application's actual directory.
• ServerName: Your domain name. If necessary, change it to your actual domain name.
• ServerAlias: The alias of your domain name. You can add multiple aliases so users can access your site using different domain names.
• ErrorLog and CustomLog: These options configure the location of error and access logs.
• Directory: Make the necessary changes to make the application available.
• Save and close the file.

3. Modify the hosts file

In addition to setting the virtual host on the server, you also need to set the domain name on the local computer. To do this, you need to edit the hosts file, which contains a mapping of IP addresses and domain names associated with them. The hosts files for Windows and Linux are located in different locations.

On Windows, the hosts file is located in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts.

On Linux, the hosts file is located in /etc/hosts.

To add a domain name to the hosts file, open the file and add the following lines to the end of the file:

127.0.0.1 yourdomain.com

Replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain name.

4. Restart Apache

Finally, you need to restart Apache for the changes to take effect. On Linux, you can use the following command to restart Apache:

sudo service apache2 restart

On Windows, you can restart Apache by restarting the Apache service in the control panel.

Now you have successfully associated the application with your domain name. You can open the domain name in your browser and access your application.

Summary

In this article, we learned how to set up virtual host and localhost to enable the domain name of the application. Doing so makes your application more accessible to users and improves the image of your business. If you have any questions or feedback, please feel free to contact us.
