[cfaussie] Re: OT: apache error - why not several hosts?
Well, just to be clear, when you say you have 42 sites running under the root, you still have only 1 web site in IIS, right? And your need was to create a new web site with its own docroot other than the one that all the others are under, right? That's specifically what this IISAdmin tool does (not to be confused with the IIS admin tool within Control Panel's Administrative Tools). IISAdmin is a 3rd party (free) tool that lets you create multiple IIS web sites (beyond the one default web site). I'm sorry, Mike, if I'm the one being thick but I just can't tell if you got that this is what I'm referring to. If it wasn't clear from my first note, perhaps now a review of it will make more sense. :-) /charlie -Original Message- From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Kear Sent: Monday, April 24, 2006 7:39 PM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: [cfaussie] Re: OT: apache error - why not several hosts? Quite so, Charlie. In fact I've been running with IIS quite happily for years now, in the current IIIS5.1 on WInXPPro and its predecessors. I currently have 42 sites on my dev machine at various states of development. What's prompted this change is the increasing tendency of things like frameworks to require placement at the root of the site. Specifically, the marvellous Reactor, (which dynamcally builds all the queries, DAO CFCs etc without requiring me to write any SQL at all!!) has to be placed at the root of the site, and if you have mappings pointing to the root you get all kinds of problems making it work. In short, I needed all my sites to each have their own site root rather than being one level below the root with a mapping to enable includes etc. As you say Charlie, there are more ways than one to achieve this and I have no issue with IIS - it drives all of my production sites.

Hi Mike,Try doing it like this: NameVirtualHost dev.intranet:80 VirtualHost dev.intranet:80 ServerName dev.intranet ... /VirtualHost NameVirtualHost dev.afpwebworks.com:80 VirtualHost dev.afpwebworks.com:80 ServerName dev.afpwebworks.com ... /VirtualHost NameVirtualHost dev.bluegrass.org.au:80 VirtualHost dev.bluegrass.org.au:80 ServerName dev.bluegrass.org.au ... /VirtualHostThat's how I'm doing it on my dev machine its working fine (I'm using a DNS server instead of the hosts file, but it shouldn't make any difference) On 4/24/06, Mike Kear [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm working on setting my system up using Apache instead of IIS, and Ihave the web server working,I have worked through the excellentarticle at http://johnbokma.com/windows/apache-virtual-hosts-xp.htmlwhich explains how to do it in the simplest, clearest terms I'veencountered before.However I've missed something somewhere because I'm still not getting multiple virtual sites appearing.

[cfaussie] Re: OT: apache error - why not several hosts?
Thanks Lindsay - that did the trick. Worried me at first, because the first time I ran http://dev.afpwebworks.com it took ages, but i guess that's because it was compiling some files or something but after that it ran quickly and works fine. I needed to start using Apache instead of IIS because of the growing need to use things like Modelglue and reactor, where if you have mappings to the site root, you get issues. this enables me to have lots of sites running each with their own site root. I got away with having IIS and accessing my client sites with http://localhost/clientsite while everything could be inside the client site root, but now, all I need is a version of reactor that requires a code change and i'm up the creek with no paddle. Thanks for your help. And Tom, removing the *:80 caused it to break to teh extent that Apache wouldnt even start.
