Hi.
First, let me explain what I am trying to achieve :
I have 3 internal website. I would like to access them via their own dns records.
Like the following :
http://site1 -­> goes to site 1
http://site2 -­> goes to site 2
http://site3 -­> goes to site 3

My webserver is apache 2 running on a linux box and my DNS is a windows 2003 service.
So far, my dns records does the following :
site1 , site2, site3 all redirect to the linux box, so the following happens :
http://site1 -> http://site1/apache2-default/
http://site2 -> http://site2/apache2-default/
http://site3 -> http://site3/apache2-default/

What I would need :
http://site1 -> http://site1/apache2-default/site1
http://site2 -> http://site2/apache2-default/site2
http://site3 -> http://site3/apache2-default/site3

I don't care about url rewritting (like seeing only http://site1 instead of http://site1/apache2-default/site1).

I know how to achieve such things in IIS (using defined host header value per website), but I have no clue on how to achieve this in apache. I usualy answer most of my questions by using google, but this time I really can't put my finger on it crazy.gif .

Thank you for any help you can give me icon_up.gif

You will need to edit the apache config file.
What you are looking for is called, 'virtualhosts'

Example code looks like:

CODE
NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
   DocumentRoot "C:\My Sites\Site1"
   ServerName site1.local
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
   DocumentRoot "C:\My Sites\Site2"
   ServerName site2.local
</VirtualHost>


Okay, so this is the default. It is very customizable. Usually you say, "IP 192.168.1.100 goes to www.site1.com" But I think you can also do addresses. I've gotten this to work with dynamic dns where I couldn't rely on a static IP address.

I'm a little tired, so I can't give you the whole scoop. But just Google search for 'apache virtualhosts' and you will find some good information and tutorials.

Hope this helps.
