[SOLVED] multiple websites in LAMP

Is it possible to run multiple websites in LAMP all over port 80, or do you have to do some customizing for multiple sites?

There are different ways you can run Virtual Hosts in apache. You can do an IP based virtual host or a name based virtual host. I don't have an example file available right now and it's been a while since I've set up a web server, but you should be able to google apache virtual host and find plenty of documentation.

Cool, thanks. I didn't even know what to search for for that. I'd love for them all to be the same http://ip/DifferentNames

then you want name based virtual hosting, it uses the same ip but allows you to host multiple domains

OK, thanks. What I'm trying to do is just have my one server host a bunch of very small websites, so it'll be easier for everyone to remember one IP address then slash then whatever site they need to use.

In that case you don't need to do any virtual hosting. All you need to do is create the directories in your docroot /var/www/html in RedHat based systems.

So if I have /var/www/html/site1, /var/www/html/site2, and /var/www/html/site3 and my servers ip address is 192.169.1.1 and I go to http://192.168.1.1/site1 I get anything in the site1 folder, 192.168.1.1/site2 gives files in the site2 folder, etc...

sounds easy enough, thanks!
