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.
