This is a simple one. if you copy the cocoon.war file to a new name, ex. host1.war, you actually create a new webapp called host1. You can access this Cocoon installation through http//yourdomain/host1 If you configure Apache so that is redirects a certain subdirectory (or the root for that matter) to the host1 web application, you can have it under any subdirectory you want. You can use mod_webapp to get it done. Read the doc of the mod_webapp to get is done. it requires 4 lines in the httpd.conf file. Bert
