Title: Apache multiple websites.(solved)
Post by: MasthaX on May 11, 2007, 10:31:15 AM

I have a question about Apache related to multiple websites. I have a webserver running and i bought a domain and redirected it to my own website.

i dont use my own DNS server from the SME box but i use my providers DNS. I have read a tutorial but its windows based.

But when i purchase a new domain i can redirect it to a IP address and not to a directory.

Example:

Domain i purchased: jurgen-meijer.nl
redirection: 84.41.201.***

// this works fine!

future domain: www.something.com
redirection: 84.41.201.***

i think i have to config this in virtual hosts section of apache but does it work when www.something.com is requested by a external computer

Yes, it just works. Your SME server makes the redirection for you. Just make sure you have the domains setup in your domains list.

You add the domains to your domains list and you point an ibay to the specific domain.

Example:

yourserver.com -> primary ibay
myserver.com -> webserver (where webserver is just an ibay that you created)

mywebsite.com > 84.41.201.*** >> primary
anotherwebsite.com > 84.41.201.*** >> anotheribay

Yes that works.
You SME server redirects to the correct ibay. You don't have to do anything with the IP.
