Hi Dave, Thank you for your reply. I took the plunge, and installed Roller 5 RC2. It is the multiple domain URL feature that most interests me - starting off with six. But I have had only partial success. So here is how one of the six was configured.
1) Created a weblog with a handle of "christopher". Confirmed as working fine under the URL http://www.optomus.com:8080/roller/christopher 2) Configured a subdomain on my DNS - http://blog.christopher.net.nz 3) Established an Apache virtual host for this URL, and set the following mod_proxy directives: ProxyPass / ajp://127.0.0.1:8009/roller/christopher/ ProxyPassReverse / ajp://127.0.0.1:8009/roller/christopher/ 4) Added the following directive to roller-custom.properties: weblog.absoluteurl.christopher=http://blog.christopher.net.nz 5) Restarted Apache and Tomcat. If you browse to http://blog.christopher.net.nz you will see what I mean by partial success. The correct weblog loads, but the CSS hasn't loaded, and the links don't work. I'm guessing my configuration isn't right, as you are successfully operating several domain URLs from a single instance of Roller, yes? Looking forward to finding a solution.
