Given the nature of your question I am starting to suspect that what you actually want is name-based virtual hosting. If you are only doing HTTP (as opposed to httpS) you can serve as many sites as you like on the same IP/ports combination. In that case you only need one instance containing two or more virtual hosts for the same IP/port, each with a different ServerName. You would also need to declare the ip/port as NameVirtualHost. Read http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/name-based.html for more details. -ascs ________________________________ De : Mandy Singh [mailto:mandys@xxxxxxxxx] Envoyé : vendredi 18 janvier 2008 18:48 À : users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Objet : Re: Multiple Instances of Apache Thanks ascs. This is a good explanation. The only other question that partially remains unanswered is that if I run apacheN on port 80 (and access my site as http://mysite.com) and run apacheN+1 on port 8080 (and access site as http://mysecondsite.com:8080) - what can i do special to access http://mysecondsite.com:8080 without the port number (as if it was running on port 80). Did you get what I was trying to say? Is this a legtimate question? :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
