Hi,

The easiest way to support multiple domains is to install several DSpace 
instances (separate repository per URL) behind a single Apache webserver.

As a basic example, you could do the following:

1) Install a DSpace for "Institution1", with Tomcat running on port 8080

2) Install a separate DSpace for "Institution2", with Tomcat running on 
port 8081 (i.e. a different port)

3) Install an Apache web server. Configure it to respond to multiple 
URLs via different VirtualHosts...e.g. see: 
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/examples.html

4) Configure Apache to forward requests for 
"http://institution1.com/repo"; to the Tomcat on port 8080, using 
something like "mod_proxy": 
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy.html

5) Configure Apache to forward requests for 
"http://institution2.com/repo"; to the Tomcat on port 8081, again using 
something like "mod_proxy".

Here's a full sample of configuring Apache using mod_proxy + a 
VirtualHost to forward to a Tomcat: http://stackoverflow.com/a/962928

By the way, just an FYI. It's usually best to send this type of 
technical question to our "dspace-tech" mailing list, as that's our 
primary tech support list:
