I'm new to PHP but not J2EE. In J2EE you can set the container to
resolve separate apps based off their hostname as long as you set them
up as web-apps in the config.
So for example, you can on a single PC visit
http://localhost:8080/www.example1.com and
http://localhost:8080/www.example2.com. What you are really doing is
just qualifying 1 host having multiple web-apps. Its useful because you
can expose this PC to the web as a staging server, and outside users can
see them by using URL's like
http://staging.example.com:8080/www.example1.com and
http://staging.example.com:8080/www.example2.com. This is all handled
entirely by the J2EE server. When you want to populate production
machines you copy the staging content to live, where the real URL is
mapped appropriately.
I am trying to reproduce this setup for PHP development which will
manage separate hosts running separate apps (Drupal, MediaWiki, etc).
If I try to use Apache VirtualHosts I get stuck - I know I could set up
www.example1.com and www.example2.com as separate entries but that means
messing externally with with the IP addresses/hostnames. Is this
possible with a rewrite rule? I.e., if you see
http://localhost:8010/{$hostname} you really mean ServerName={$hostname}
in httpd.conf?
Any smarter solutions very welcome, thanks.
