Hi Johan, Yes, this is possible - although it requires a bit of extra work.
Basically, it goes a little like this... The standalone daemons that are to run on the host server must be configured to only listen on the IP address(es) of the host server (so that they dont conflict with daemons running on the VSs.) For example, apache needs to be setup with a "Listen 11.22.33.44" line in httpd.conf (where 11.22.33.44 is the IP address of your host server) Then there are the daemons run from (x)inetd.conf. I know that it must be possible because somehow we have telnet working on our host server AND our VSs (using the freeVSD 6.2-1 CDROM). FreeVSD seems to work by using a program (/usr/sbin/virtuald) that (i assume) loads up the relevant daemon (in this case "in.telnetd") in the correct chrooted environment (whether that be the host server or a particular VS) when a connection request comes in (depending on what IP address the connection is to.) So, for standalone daemons, you need to setup their config files to ensure that it ONLY listens on the host servers IP address. For daemons mentionned in (x)inetd.conf, you'll need to wait for a response from someone who knows more about "virtuald" than me :) HTH, Ben Kennish [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.fubra.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Johan Pretorius" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Freevsd-Support" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 30, 2001 7:41 AM Subject: Using freeVSD with default webserver > I'm not quite sure how to phrase this, but let's try ... > > Will it be possible to install freeVSD on a server in such a way that the > "original" web server is still running? > > The scenario is as follows: we plan to lease a dedicated server, which will > have Plesk installed by default.
