Hi Apachelounge, not sure if this is a apache question or perhaps something more advanced.
What i want to do is to be able to with one physical machine (server) host multiple websites using multiple different domain urls.
Lets say i am hosting one site with www.myfirstsite.com which i have the domain A records pointing to the ip of the physical webserver. Fine everything works great.
But how do i install a second website into this machine and have it being access from lets say domain number two www.myseconddomain.com?
I know that domain records do not support any / in their settings so you can't point a domain record to ipadress/subpath.
Can you setup apache with htaccess to filter "check" where the hit comes from (which domain used to reach the ip) and that way filter the incoming traffic internally?
I am very interested on how shared webservers are configured.
I am a rookie at this, thanks! |

All A records can point to the same IP. No subpath needed.  Than you can set up vhosts. By the domain name the browser sends to apache it decides which vhost to use. Notice: when you use vhost the first host (mostly localhost) from the httpd.conf disapears.
example
| Code: |
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin info@localhost
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot C:/www/localhost
<Directory C:/www/localhost>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog logs/localhost_error.log
LogLevel warn
CustomLog C:/apache22/logs/localhostaccess.log combined
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin info@firstdomain.com
ServerName firstdomain.com
ServerAlias www.firstdomain.com
DocumentRoot C:/www/firstdomain
<Directory C:/www/firstdomain>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog logs/firstdomain_error.log
LogLevel warn
CustomLog C:/apache22/logs/firstdomain_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin info@seconddomain.com
ServerName seconddomain.com
ServerAlias www.seconddomain.com
DocumentRoot C:/www/seconddomain
<Directory C:/www/seconddomain>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog logs/seconddomain_error.log
LogLevel warn
CustomLog C:/apache22/logs/seconddomain_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
