That being said - if you really want to run two instances, you need to configure your Listen directive to bind only to a certain IP address. By default, Apache is configured to bind to every interface. You control this via the Listen directive: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/bind.html Your 'utility' instance would be bound only to locahost, so you'd edit it's httpd.conf like: Listen 127.0.0.1:80 Listen 127.0.0.1:443 Also, you can treat localhost like a normal IP address and configure it with as an IP based virtual host... HTH, or atleast gets you going in the right direction. -- brian --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
