question about Multiple Hosting

[RESOLVED] Question about Multiple Hosting

Hi, i had a question about multiple virtual hosting.

Suppose i made 5 virtual hosts and 5 listeners connected to that hosts and they have ports such as:

Host 1 : Port 80
Host 2 : Port 81
Host 3 : Port 83
Host 4 : Port 84
Host 5 : Port 85

How would i link them to domain without entering web url such as http://www.website.com:81 and so on?

Because i know that for domains you cannot enter iport so any idea how to make hosting w/e port?

Thanks.

In virtualhost mappings (admin console), domain tells the listener (combination of IP: port) which domain name it should be responsible given the domain name resolves to the IP it is bound to.

Client request still needs port info such as http://www.domain.com: port/resource

 

[SilentCoder]

so there is no other way but to use www.domain.com: port?

If it is in native LSWS configuration, you can put "*" for listener to vhost mapping.

 

[SilentCoder]

yeh but " * " will only work for port 80 which is default port what if we enter port like 81 then we cannot view the site but to put in the port like internet.com:81.

 

[mistwang]

If you do not specify a port, port 80 is used, it is on client side (browsers), nothing to do with litespeed or any web server at all.

 

[SilentCoder]

Yes, but suppose i host 5 websites and their domains are different so can't i host all website on one port and then add different domains in listener?

 

[mistwang]

Yes, you can map one listener to multiple vhosts on different domain name. It is called name based vhost.

 

[SilentCoder]

but see in picture when point to same port they give errors

 

[mistwang]

You need to check error log for errors.

This is the error log

2011-02-18 20:24:31.244	ERROR	[config:template:centralConfigLog] Listener [Default] does not exist
2011-02-18 20:24:31.245	ERROR	[config:template:PHP_SuEXEC] Listener [Default] does not exist
2011-02-18 20:24:31.245	ERROR	[config:template:EasyRailsWithSuEXEC] Listener [Default] does not exist

 

[mistwang]

Those errors are unrelated. Post screen shots of your listener configuration maybe easier.

here is the picture to one of the listener configs

Listener and vhost mapping looks ok. So what's the problem?

Keep in mind, you can create another vhost say blog and bind to the same listener as long as domain resolves to the same IP (Name based virtual host). Each vhost has its own config, docroot, etc.

 

[mistwang]

Just continue adding other vhosts to the "Virtual Host Mapping".

 

[SilentCoder]

the problem is that all the listeners won't run on same port that is port 80 and if i use different ports then i would have to use www.domain.com:port which i don't want.

 

[mistwang]

You can add multiple mapping to the same listener. click "Add" link on the second table in that page.

 

[SilentCoder]

to be honest i actually never thought of mapping different hosts on same listener lol

Thank you for the help
