Add a custom vhost to cPanel server?

[Sakthybaalan]

I want to run the Laravel API with a specified port 5000. Because there is another websocket also running on port 8090.

I have done this regular way on Ubuntu 18.04 server with the following vhosts

/etc/apache2/sites-available/206.189.xxx.xxx.conf

<VirtualHost *:5000>
       ServerName 206.189.xxx.xxx
       ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
       DocumentRoot /var/www/myapi/public

       ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
       CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

       <Directory /var/www/myapi>
               AllowOverride All
       </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

/etc/hosts

    127.0.0.1 206.189.xxx.xxx

/etc/ports.conf

    Listen 5000  #Newly added

How can I add these configurations to WHM and cPanel?

Hello @Sakthybaalan,

You can find information about how to modify your Apache virtual host containers with include files on our Modify Apache Virtual Hosts with Include Files documentation.

Additionally, while it's specific to Tomcat instead of Laravel, you may find the information in this post helpful.

Let me know if you have any questions about how to setup the include files.

Thank you.

Thank you cPanelMichael

I read the article of tomcat but It is very difficult to understand , so please help to modify as my request in the safe manner which will not affect the current running websites.

Hello @Sakthybaalan,

Could you share a link to the README (or installation instructions) that you are following? I'm happy to perform a setup on a test server and provide you with the information you need to ensure it functions with cPanel & WHM.

Thanks!

Hello @cPanelMichael

I have seen these links

Include Editor - Version 82 Documentation - cPanel Documentation

Tomcat and JSP support

Modify Apache Virtual Hosts with Include Files - EasyApache 4 - cPanel Documentation

And I used this API connor11528/laravel-api-example

The API should be able to access by the IP address and Port (8000) xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8000

Hello @Sakthybaalan,

The following script will allow you to assign one or more ports to a specific user:
