virtualhost - What values are valid for use with ServerName when setting up Apache virtual hosts locally? -


i'm setting apache virtual hosts number of websites need develop on localhost. using following configuration (and after updating /etc/hosts file), can access content stored @ /var/www/example.com/public_html going example.com in web browser:

<virtualhost *:80>     servername example.com     documentroot /var/www/example.com/public_html     ... </virtualhost> 

my question:

are there rules choosing values servername? example, must value use domain name such servername example.com or can omit .com extension , use servername example? must use lowercase characters, etc.?

you can use whatever name want local domain. @ documentation.

servername apache

servername [scheme://]fully-qualified-domain-name[:port]  servername directive sets request scheme, hostname , port  thatthe server uses identify itself. used when creating redirection urls.
