Hosting multiple Website on local machine
« on: March 25, 2003, 03:29:01 PM »
Hello,

I want to host 2 websites on my local network on 2 local pcs, but I want to know if these websites can be reach externally by internet?

ex:
mydomain1.com to the SME 5.5 gateway-server main Webserver
mydoman2.com to an local PC 192.168.0.14 forum serveur
mydomain3.com to a local PC 192.168.0.15 production server

Thanks for your help! :)

You'd need to forward ports from the SME to the other PCs. Then you'd have to have the domain name pointing at the non-standard port. A link has been posted before, that describes how to set up your DNS to accomplish this.

thks for replying!

I have already installed port forwarding entry for SME 5.5:
prot. Ext port  dest IP Adress    destination Port
TCP    81       192.168.x.x.20       80

Is it correct or not??

Yes, that will forward incoming requests on port 81 to 192.168.x.20:80. http://www.yourdomain.com:81 should now bring up the website running on 192.168.x.20.

Thks again, now I'm sure that the problem comes from the redirection of the domain. : ;)

OK I go for solution like this:

1. Page goes normal on SME
2. Set virtual domain on SME which point on ibay, enable PHP and replace index.html with index.php in which you put lines for redirection
3. Set another ibay and virtual domain and do the same as in point 2.

Cheers,

Andrej
