Apache, the popular Web server for Linux and Unix, allows you to host virtual hostnames with multiple IP
addresses. You can set one IP to each hostname. But what if you want to host multiple hostnames on a singleIP? Apache allows you to do it.
The trick is a single command that goes in the httpd.conf configuration file:
NameVirtualHost 1.2.3.4
Replacing 1.2.3.4 with your real IP address, this will allow Apache to know on which IP it should serve the
virtual hostnames. Then you can add the virtual commands for every
hostname you want to host:
<VirtualHost virtual.host.com>ServerAdmin webmaster@virtual.host.com
DocumentRoot /home/httpd/virtual ServerName virtual.host.com</VirtualHost>
This will add virtual.host.com in your list of virtual hosts and serve
the pages in /home/httpd/virtual.Ofcourse you need to have the actual virtual.host.com hostname pointing
to that system.
