I am trying to reproduce this setup for PHP development which will manage separate hosts running separate apps (Drupal, MediaWiki, etc). If I try to use Apache VirtualHosts I get stuck - I know I could set up www.example1.com and www.example2.com as separate entries but that means messing externally with with the IP addresses/hostnames. Is this possible with a rewrite rule? I.e., if you see http://localhost:8010/{$hostname} you really mean ServerName={$hostname} in httpd.conf? Any smarter solutions very welcome, thanks.
Just put the php apps in separate directories under your DocumentRoot. No need for several virtual hosts. The only hitch could be if the apps make assumptions about being able to use absolute URLs (starting in /). An alternative is port-based virtual hosts with a reverse proxy and possibly mod_proxy_html to correct links. (Put each webapp on a high-numbered port, and then use ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse on port 80 to pass requests back to the webapps.)
