Hosting Multiple Websites with Abyss and PHP

     - Sunday, June 06, 2004

Now that I've got my shiny new webserver working overtime, I started looking into how to actually get some websites up. A little digging around revealed that I could only respond to a single web request with a single machine. I guess this shouldn't have surprised me, but somehow it did.

What I needed was to virtually host several sites using the same web server. This one took the better part of a day to figure out. First, I needed PHP installed. Then I used a PHP script to detect the url being requested, which will then forward the request to an associated directory. Check it out...

UPDATE: I've switched to using the Apache HTTP Web Server. Comes with the ability to virtually host sites without the hassle of configuring PHP. Check out all the details at my post titled Brought To You By Apache, Literally.
