hello all sorry for the double posting yesterday..didnt intend to break the rules just got very fustrated with myself for not working it out
anyway im a windows oldy and a linux newbie (
argh
) i moved to linux because i heard it was very secure and easy to set up as a server
right heres my problem:
im going to run several muds on my machine (Multi User Dungeons (Online Roleplaying Games That Use Telnet)) so say if i hosted
mud 1
mud 2 and
mud 3
each of these muds would be in different folders
/mud/mud1
/mud/mud2
/mud/mud3
and each of these would have a website in there directory
the thing is on one of my muds (mud 1) the address to access it is
http://mud1.mydomain.com and mud 2 is
http://mud2.mydomain.com but mud 3 has its own domain
www.mud3.com
how would i set this up and what would be the best version of linux to do so with (im running on RH9 at the moment)
another problem i see is that most muds run on port 9000
e.g.
you connect to mud 1 by
telnet://mud1.mydomain.com:9000 (i think)
and mud2 by
telnet://mud2.mydomain.com:9000
and mud3 by
telnet://mud3.com:9000
wont there be a conflict if all the muds run on the same port
thanks for reading!
