Adding Virtual Hosts

This is now an archive web site.
Some is still relevant as at May 2026 but some is purely of historic interest.

Lisa and I (Graham) are now fully retired from IT training.We have made many friends over 30 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Apache, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are out of date, but with upward compatability some examples remain operational and relevant. You are welcome to make use of them "as seen", at your own risk. We now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We remain active, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to do things!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))

Adding Virtual Hosts (written 2006-04-19)

If you're running your own server and want to look after multiple domains, you can easily do so using Apache httpd's Virtual Hosting. It's as easy as 1-2-3-4 ...

1. Create new host names in your DNS
2. Create home directories and a test index.html
3. Set up virtual hosts in httpd.conf (redhat) or vhosts.xxxx.conf (SuSE) - detail
4. Restart Apache

(Quick summary from yesterday's training ... thought it would be nice for some of the more technical amongst you to see it all in one place. If you.re not yet that technical, but wannabe, have a look at our deploying LAMP course or our associated resources)

This is a page archived from The Horse's Mouth at http://www.wellho.net/horse/ - the diary and writings of Graham Ellis. Every attempt was made to provide current information at the time the page was written, but things do move forward in our business - new software releases, price changes, new techniques. So much so, and it's so long ago that we are retired
