Rename the downloaded directory

linuxhelp Downloads # ls
icehrm_v21.1.0.OS  icehrm_v21.1.0.OS.zip
linuxhelp Downloads # mv icehrm_v21.1.0.OS icehrm

we have to change ownership and permission for the icehrm directory

linuxhelp html # chown -R www-data:www-data icehrm/ && chmod -R 775 icehrm/

we have to configure the virtual host for icehrm. Create an empty file named  icehrm.conf

linuxhelp html # cd /etc/apache2/sites-available/
linuxhelp sites-available # vim icehrm.conf

<virtualhost *:80>
servername  www.linuxhelp1.com
Documentroot  /var/www/html/icehrm
<Directory /var/www/html/icehrm>
AllowOverride all
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
</virtualhost>

enable the icehrm.conf file

linuxhelp sites-available # a2ensite icehrm.conf 
Enabling site icehrm.
To activate the new configuration, you need to run

make an entry to the host file as follows

linuxhelp sites-available # vim /etc/hosts
