How to run multiple sites on one apache instance

Question

Spent hours going in circles following every guide I can find on the net.

I want to have two sites running on a single apache instance, something like this - 192.168

Answer 1

Yes with Virtual Host you can have as many parallel programs as you want:

Open

/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Listen 81
Listen 82
Listen 83


    ServerAdmin webmaster@site1.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/site1/html
    ServerName site1.com
    ErrorLog logs/site1-error_log
    CustomLog logs/site1-access_log common
    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/site1/cgi-bin/"



    ServerAdmin webmaster@site2.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/site2/html
    ServerName site2.com
    ErrorLog logs/site2-error_log
    CustomLog logs/site2-access_log common
    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/site2/cgi-bin/"



    ServerAdmin webmaster@site3.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/site3/html
    ServerName site3.com
    ErrorLog logs/site3-error_log
    CustomLog logs/site3-access_log common
    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/site3/cgi-bin/"

Restart apache

service httpd restart

You can now refer Site1 :

http://:81/ 
http://:81/cgi-bin/

Site2 :

http://:82/
http://:82/cgi-bin/

Site3 :

http://:83/ 
http://:83/cgi-bin/

If path is not hardcoded in any script then your websites should work seamlessly.
