AWS EC2 LAMP Vhosts all point to same folder - amazon-ec2

Question

I would like to have multiple domains going to the same EC2 instance. All will have same IP. I have setup multiple vhost files as domain1.com and domain2.com. I do not have anything special in any htaccess files or in the vhost files. I have the domains through GoDaddy, they are pointed to the EC2 IP. The issue I have is that both domain 1 and 2 go to the same folder and show the same index.html in the browser.
As per https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/httpd.html I see that httpd.conf does not exist anymore and I do not see anything in apache2.conf for ghosts.
(As you can see the commented out things I have tried)

Answer 1

You should provide more details:
What Instance/LAMP are you using?
Are you configuring vhost correctly?
For Bitnami stacks, for example, you should add the correct add the following line to the end of /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/bitnami/bitnami-apps-vhosts.conf:
Include "/path to your configuration file.conf”
restart apache:
$sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart apache
For plain Ubuntu,(after having apache installed) you should include your configuration file as below:
/etc/apache2/sites-available/example.com.conf
ensure to enable your virtual host file:
$sudo a2ensite example.com.conf
restart apache:
$sudo service apache2 restart

So, after making a new instance I was able to set up multiple vhosts.They are all working. The issue must have been the let's encrypt cert. I will backup my configuration and try let's encrypt on this the instance. I will report my findings to this posting. Thank you all for your help on this.
