Before we begin, you need to have Apache installed in order to work through these steps.

1. sudo apt-get update
2. sudo mkdir -p /var/www/coolexample.local/public_html
3. sudo chown -R orange:orange /var/www/coolexample.local/public_html
4. sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/coolexample.local/public_html
5. sudo cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/coolexample.local.conf
6. sudo vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/coolexample.local.conf
DocumentRoot /var/www/coolexample.local/public_html
ServerName www.coolexample.local
ServerAlias coolexample.local
:wq
7. sudo a2ensite coolexample.local.conf
8. sudo service apache2 restart
9. sudo vim /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 coolexample.local
:wq

Note: For index.php url issue add below lines in /etc/apache2/sites-available/coolexample.local.conf just after DocumentRoot
<Directory /var/www/>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
