2 web sites on 1 server

[Jowilly]

Hi,

I want to host 2 websites (2 domains) on 1 server (running apache2).

How do I do that ?

I guess I have to make 1 dir for each site:

/var/www/localhost/site1
/var/www/localhost/site2

and put the content in it.

But how do I configure apache ?
And how to do it so that IP1 is resolved and goes to /var/www/localhost/site1 and IP2 to /var/www/localhost/site2 ?

Do I have to setup a DNS ?

Please help.

Thanks.

as far as DNS it should point to the same IP, the ip of your webserver obviously. (the a and or www records for each site).

Apache will answer and respond with the appropriate site based on the directive 'virtual host' in your httpd.conf file. Check this out:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/vhosts/name-based.html

Hope this helps.
