I have linux suse 10.0 and was wondering how to set up multiple domains on my server. i have apache 2 already set up and running. i have no idea how to set up my domain to work without nameservers either. i have it fowarding to my ip address. will that work for other domains too?

Are you using some free domain service? I don't think they will let you do multiple domains unless you bump up to a pay account, but I could be wrong.

To run multiple sites, you will be using the "VirtualHost" function, which is actually pretty easy to work with.

Here is some information about setting it up in SuSE.

the server is my own computer at my house. i have full access to everything. it is a brand new linux installation. i am just trying to figure out how to run more than 1 domain on my compter. I have looked up stuff about the virtualhost, but nothing seemed to work for me. i think it has to do with the nameservers....not sure though

Virtual hosts are the way to go. So long as the names servers point www.domain1/com and www.domain2.com to the proper IP address everything should work OK. I've set it up several times. The main thing is that you need to run name based virtual hosting instead of IP based (IP based is where each seperate site has its own IP). Can you post the virtual host section of your config file?

here is the profilegens.conf file in my apache vhosts.d directory

PHP Code:



<VirtualHost profilegens.com:80> 
    ServerAdmin webmaster@profilegens.com 
    ServerName profilegens.com 
 
    # DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your 
    # documents. By default, all requests are taken from this directory, but 
    # symbolic links and aliases may be used to point to other locations. 
    DocumentRoot /srv/www/vhosts/profilegens.com 
 
    # if not specified, the global error log is used 
    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/profilegens.com-error_log 
    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/profilegens.com-access_log combined 
 
    # don't loose time with IP address lookups 
    HostnameLookups Off 
 
    # needed for named virtual hosts 
    UseCanonicalName Off 
 
    # configures the footer on server-generated documents 
    ServerSignature On 
 
 
    # Optionally, include *.conf files from /etc/apache2/conf.d/ 
    # 
    # For example, to allow execution of PHP scripts: 
    # 
    # Include /etc/apache2/conf.d/mod_php4.conf 
    # 
    # or, to include all configuration snippets added by packages: 
    # Include /etc/apache2/conf.d/*.conf 
 
 
    # ScriptAlias: This controls which directories contain server scripts. 
    # ScriptAliases are essentially the same as Aliases, except that 
    # documents in the realname directory are treated as applications and 
    # run by the server when requested rather than as documents sent to the client. 
    # The same rules about trailing "/" apply to ScriptAlias directives as to 
    # Alias. 
    # 
    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/srv/www/vhosts/profilegens.com/cgi-bin/" 
 
    # "/srv/www/cgi-bin" should be changed to whatever your ScriptAliased 
    # CGI directory exists, if you have one, and where ScriptAlias points to. 
    # 
    <Directory "/srv/www/vhosts/profilegens.com/cgi-bin"> 
    AllowOverride None 
    Options +ExecCGI -Includes 
    Order allow,deny 
    Allow from all 
    </Directory> 
 
 
    # UserDir: The name of the directory that is appended onto a user's home 
    # directory if a ~user request is received. 
    # 
    # To disable it, simply remove userdir from the list of modules in APACHE_MODULES 
    # in /etc/sysconfig/apache2. 
    # 
    <IfModule mod_userdir.c> 
    # Note that the name of the user directory ("public_html") cannot simply be 
    # changed here, since it is a compile time setting. The apache package 
    # would have to be rebuilt. You could work around by deleting 
    # /usr/sbin/suexec, but then all scripts from the directories would be 
    # executed with the UID of the webserver. 
    UserDir public_html 
    # The actual configuration of the directory is in 
    # /etc/apache2/mod_userdir.conf. 
    Include /etc/apache2/mod_userdir.conf 
    # You can, however, change the ~ if you find it awkward, by mapping e.g. 
    # http://www.example.com/users/karl-heinz/ --> /home/karl-heinz/public_html/

    # 
    # Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",

    # 
    # Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"

You will need each of your virtual domain names setup in dns for it to work. For a quick test put them in the hosts file of the machine that you are trying to access them from.
