host 2 different websites

Anonymous

hi
i have 2 websites that i would like to host on my computer. How can i host more than 1 website with this software ( with 2 different addresses)

TRUSTAbyss

with ::Virtual Host Creator:: (Requires PHP)
http://www.multiple-sites.tk

With the php created, can the two sites be stored in completely different directories, or must one be in a subdirectory of the other? (And I admit I obviously don't really understand php.)
Thanks,
Bill

TRUSTAbyss

well it all depends , you can use an aliases also
and it will still work the same way , I use a dir
outside my abyss directory named vhosts and
put all my extra sites their 8)
P.S. Why do you think I created that form ! 😃

If for some reason php isn't used the following javascript does the same thing.
<script language="javascript">
var host = location.hostname
if (host == "www.yourdomain.com")
{
location.replace("/yourdir")
}
if (host == "www.yourdomain2.com")
{
location.replace("/yourdir2")
}
</script>
good luck 😃

I've been working with that "Multiple Sites Creator" and I noticed something interesting:
Say I have www.site.com.
I want to make a new site @ site2.site.com
I used ZoneEdit so both point to my IP address
Since both of them end up at the same index page, I use the Multiple Site Creator to forward both URLs to their appropriate location.
When people go to Site 1, they get forwarded to in.html, which is the main site.
However when people go to Site 2, they get forwarded into the /site2 directory. When people go the URL "site2.site.com," their browser reads "site2.site.com/site2." Although this sounds exactly like what virtual hosts would do, is there a way so the browser would just simply read "site2.site.com" like it were the real URL?

eznetlinks

If you want browser to read http://www.site1.com and http://www.site2.com
use php include()
example:
<?php
if ($name == "www.site1.com")
{
include 'in.html';
}
elseif ($name == "site1.com")
{
include 'in.html';
}
elseif ($name == "www.site2.com")
{
include '/site2 directory/indexfile.html';
}
elseif ($name == "site2.com")
{
include '/site2 directory/indexfile.html';
}
else
{
echo "DOMAIN NOT ON THIS SERVER";
}
?>
Check Relative Links When using This Method!
GOOD LUCK 😃

you will need this for the first line after <?php
should look like this
<?php
$name = $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"];
if ($name == etc.......
SORRY :roll:

Download the latest version of abyss and put the path as
/site1/ and not /site1 and it will work , holy crap , some
one create a javascript version , wow ! 😃
Edit: The javascript version won't let you show just
www.your-sites.com , only the php version , its best
to just use my form generator http://multiple-sites.tk

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<% Response.Buffer=True
'Active Server Pages script filename:index.asp
'White Technologies
'
Dim strname
strname=Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME")
Select Case (Lcase(Trim(strname)))
Case "site.site1.com"
Response.Redirect "site1root/home.htm"
Case "site.site2.com"
Response.Redirect "site2root/home.htm"
End Select
%>

Oh thats nice , now a ASP version , can someone please write my
cgi or perl version that I asked for , maybe you know one in html
I have asked many times in this forum if someone can write a pl
or cgi version of this script , so I can create more than one ver.
of ::Virtual Host Creator:: http://www.multiple-sites.tk 😃

eznetlinks

here ya go
#!perl
$domain = "$ENV{'SERVER_NAME'}";
use CGI qw(:cgi);
if ($domain == "domain1.com")
{
print redirect( -URL => "main.html" )
}
elsif ($domain == "domain2.com")
{
print redirect( -URL => "index.html" )
}
else
{
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "<h1>DOMAIN NOT ON THIS SERVER</h1>\n";
}
😃
oops change "==" to "eq"
example;if ($domain eq "domain1.com")

TRUSTAbyss

Thank you so much , you rule ! 😃
I will do some coding today and start creating
my perl version of ::Virtual Host Creator::
P.S. Instead of showing , domain not in list , can you make
it where it directs you to the real main index page of your site
Edit: Can you make it where this script handles more than 1
domain , it does not work with 2 , it goes to the same page
as the first one that I entered , please help 🙁

Wow eznetlinks, you seem to know your stuff.
Thank you for all of the options, I hope to get one working!

eznetlinks

in the above script replace the == with eq
example:
if ($domain eq "www.eznetlinks.com")
{
print redirect( -URL => "main.html" )
}
the script will work now
instead of printing DOMAIN NOT ON THIS SERVER
just add another:
print redirect( -URL => "whatever.file" )
in your else statement
😃

iNaNimAtE

That's for the CGI one, correct?

eznetlinks
