Title: Redirect or Virtual Host or Both?
Post by: John on February 21, 2002, 02:20:44 AM

I have 2 domains (www.a.com and www.b.com) that I want to host off of the same machine.  What do I need to read up on the figure out how to do this?  I am stuck between the redirect and virutal host configurations for apache.

Thanks,
JL

Read up on virtual domains:

http://www.e-smith.org/docs/manual/5.1/admin-virtdom.html

have your dns for www.a.com point to your IP addy, have dns for www.b.com point to your IP addy, create an ibay for each new website, ie: websitea and websiteb, then add a virtual domain for each where the domain name is the actually DNS listed web address and the content drop down box selected points to the appropriate ibay.

HTH, Terry
