I have linux mandrake 10 installed along with apache, squirrel mail, spamassasin etc.

i am trying to host 2 different websites on same machine, (eventually more).

when i type in domain1 address it goes to the correct page. but when i type in domain2 it goes to domain1 as well. and they are two totaly different websites.

also changed the mail directory so i could go to domain1/mail and end up at the mail login page, it's not working either,

any ideas?

thanks

Your problem come from the IP of your web site (usualy a domain name is translated to an ID address ie: the site usr.com as the ip address 64.39.28.52)
so the same ip can host 2 diffrent domain name on the same port.

The solution to host 2 domain name with only one IP address is to change the port of the second web site (insted port: 80 "the default one" put 1000 for exemple) so after to connect to your site you'll have to type some thing like this:
www.domain1.com (to access to your domain1)
and
www.domain2.com:1000 (to access to your domain2)

The inconvenient of this, is, if you type www.domain1:1000 you will arrive on your second web site. but as far as i know it's the only solution.
I hope this will help.

PS: if some one as a better idea i'm intrested as well.

I tried that using different porst for the second site,
didnt work, same thing..

I've just check on internet and it seems i was wrong. It's possible to host 2 or more domain name on the same IP but you have to create a DNS server on the computer who host your sites.

I don't know how to do it, but you will probably find some site who explain how to set it up on the net.

Good luck.
Keep me inform if you get it running.
