You don't need to use up IP addresses in order to get multiple virtual hosts. You can have as many httpds as you wish running off the same IP address. You need to construct your apache.conf on the following lines: ... Port 80 Listen 80 Listen 8080 ... NameVirtualHost 120.121.122.123 ... <VirtualHost 120.121.122.123:80> ServerAdmin webmaster@my.domain DocumentRoot /webbery/www1.my.domain UseCanonicalName off ServerName www1.my.domain ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/error1-.log TransferLog /var/log/httpd/web1.log </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost 120.121.122.123:8080> ServerAdmin webmaster@my.domain DocumentRoot /webbery/www2.my.domain UseCanonicalName off ServerName www2.my.domain ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/error2-log TransferLog /var/log/httpd/web2-log </VirtualHost> For this to work, make sure you don't have _any_ web server definitions that are not contained within <VirtualHost> </VirtualHost> pairs. The Port 80 is the default port, the Listen lines allow >1 port to run of the same machine. Thus, to get more than one server running off the same IP address, use the IP address in your NameVirtualHost directive, and refer to IP-address:Port in your VirtualHost definitions. NB: The ServerName directive must be a known DNS host. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
