I have configured 2 virtual host in the http.conf file. Both are working fine since we have configured the DNS server to point to the apache server. We need to configure a 3rd virtual host, but can't change the DNS to point to our apache server until it is approved.
So the question is how we configure the new virtual host so it is visible without DNS?
This is the same to what a web hosting company will do. One can preview the website under some URL of the main server.
For example if the real server is named www.server1.com and the new virtual host is for www.server2.com, then one could type something like www.server1.com/server2 or similar and view the file from the virtual host (server2) instead.
I read the virtual hosting documentation and did not find anything in this subject. I though that maybe "ServerPath" could do the trick, but id did not work. Tried to set serverpath to "/server2/" and the requested www.server1.com/server2/ but it only complains that the URL was not found.
I understand that we can set an entry in the host file to map the virtual host name to an IP, but this is not practical since we need to have several people in different workstations looking at this.
How to the web hosting companies accomplish this? is it just with Apache or is it something else?
Any suggestions?
This is for Apache 2.0.52 running on Linux.
