Morgaine,
I support marks suggestion, the wikis then appear on a folder under the top
wikis IP/Port address. Then you need only one IP address:port
A Couple of big tips I found are as follow, just ask if you want more
details. I have assumed a certain level of knowledge in my reply, so I am
happy to provide more info.
When loading node you can provide an address
Local host addresses
- When using local host addresses very few applications realise
127.0.0.1 is the first of millions or addresses
- This means you can get a server to listen at Server at addresses such
as 127.0.4.85
- If you do this you can use the port 80 and need not provide the port
number in the address bar (no competition for this valuable address.
- You can even give such addresses a pseudo DNS name in the hosts file
eg: bob.local 127.0.4.85
- Thus all addresses will be bob.local/wikiname
- This will allow you to change the IP address, even move the server to
another computer if desired and all your addresses remain valid.
Using listen 0.0.0.0
- Using this address makes the server available on a the LAN
- It simply acquires an available port on all IP addresses assigned to
the host
- In windows and I am sure other platforms
- You can assign additional IP addresses on the computer
- Rather than use 0.0.0.0 use one of these additional IP addresses
(Commonly taken from a static IP address range)
Using the information above I have a setup where my bob server exists
locally at
- bob.local then the subwikis at b <http://127.0.4.85:8081/Sessions#>
ob.local/wikname
- Or http://127.0.4.85:8081/ and http://127.0.4.85:8081/wikiname
and simultaneously exists on the LAN at
- http://192.168.1.85/ and http://192.168.1.85/wikiname (The additional
IP Address on my computer)
With my own DNS this becomes
- http://bob.lan and http://bob.lan/wikiname
A Key advantage is the wikis can now always be addressed the same including
links to tiddlers etc.., even If I move he server to another computer on
the LAN.
Regards
Tony
