[PHP] NT5 Sub Domains
This is a little off topic, so I apologize, but I was hoping one of the computer gurus here could help me. When I go live with my network, I will be using sub-domains. Such as: http://subdomain.domain.com/ In order to test this on my NT5/IIS5 system, I need to be able to use these subdomains. I am programming locally, so there is no .com after my name. It is my computer name: http://si-exec-cio/ Does anyone know how I can configure IIS5 to include http://subdomain.si-exec-cio/ ? I am using Win 2000 Professional. Again, I apologize for sending an off-topic message.

Why don't you just install the Windows version of Apache? That way your development environment will be much closer to your production environment. -Rasmus On Sat, 27 Jan 2001, [ rswfire ] wrote: This is a little off topic, so I apologize, but I was hoping one of the computer gurus here could help me.

RE: [PHP] NT5 Sub Domains
Ah...yes you can. You're probably scared of apache because it doesn't have a GUI! But don't fret I was in the same boat not too long ago! 1) Download the lastest version of apache (www.apache.org you were close...) 2) Install apache (it does have an installation program) 3) Configuring apache To configure apache you need to edit the httpd.conf file (I suggest you create a backfirst!) it's pretty self explanatory, there's lots of documentation for it. You can run both IIS and Apache as long as they're not running on the same ports (eg :80, so either disable the web server for IIS on port 80 (or change it to something like 64892) or make apache run on some other port (you set this in httpd.conf under the Port option)) So after you've setup your httpd.conf file, you'll start apache from the command line (you may scream now if you'd like...this is where MS is...MS...) you run the apache deamon with a command like C:\path\to\apache.exe start C:\path\to\httpd.conf It's something similar to that, the command prompt window will stay open and you won't be able to do anything in that window, so to shut down apache, open a new window and do the C:\path\to\apache.exe stop (I haven't done this on NT in a while so those commands are probably wrong but it should be the right direction) 4) To setup subdomains (this is the good part) If you want to actually setup domain.com to develop on locally and the site isn't "online" you can add an entry to your hosts file (somewhere in C:\WINNT\) and entry like "127.0.0.1 domain.com" (or you could create a bogus TLD like domain.dev) and that will redirect all requests for domain.xxx to your local apache server (assuming you've set Bind to * in the httpd.conf file to listen to all IPs) For the actual subdomains you'd set these in the httpd.conf file under VirtualDirectories (you can either do Name based subdomains (one IP bound to NIC multiple domains) or IP based subdomains (multiple IPs bound to NIC multiple domain names) Check the apache.org documentation on how to set them up. It's not too terribly complex...

Also if anyof you out there know a good colorcoding *nix developer app (for PHP of couse) please let me know! If you get stuck on anything, just holler...

RE: [PHP] NT5 Sub Domains
I set the Apache Port option to 8080. Is that good? I stopped the IIS service. And now I can't get it to restart, not sure why... Hm, well 8080 is fine, I'm not sure why IIS won't start...but MS probably is freaking out that opensource is actually taking over it's domain (no pun intended) =) I set Bind to * That's good, whatever IPs that are config'd on your box apache will bind to on 8080 Should I set the ServerName directive to domain.dev? Or does this have to be done in the HOSTS file you mentioned? Yes you can set ServerName to domain.dev or whatever.foo the reason that you'll add the entry to your HOSTS file is because most likely you're not running a DNS server to authentically map that domain to your IP. Windows looks at HOSTS before it goes to a DNS so that way you can map that domain to your local host without having to mess with dns or anything and simulate a production environment (that HOSTS file is quite intersting, try the entry "216.136.171.205 microsoft.com" and then visit microsoft.com, you'll be surprised... =) (NOTE TO VIRUS CREATORS: That would be an interesting hack...to add an entry to the hosts file that does that mapping...oh...that would get the big BG mad...) After you've been doing this for a little while, you'll have to get an old box (like P200 or something) to stick linux on and have that be your dev server...your EYES will be opened...trust me, the MS empire won't always be as vast as it is, TUX is alive and moving!)
