Now that KAMP has successfully been set up on a Kubuntu box, setting up multiple sites on one server is the next logical step. This allows you to do Drupal testing in multiple versions/setups at the same time on one localhost server.

cd /etc/apache2/sites-available/

1. Open Konsole
2. Login as root
   • sudo -s
