Hosting multiple domains on single server

Friday 05 May 2006 5:35:02 am

Have a look at:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/examples.html

and combine these examples with the virtual host setup of eZpublish and have a look at:

http://ez.no/community/forum/install_configuration/virtual_hosts_ez_publish or through the forum and you are done.

MIke,

You might want to walk through the setup of your top-level nodes and ini files.

For instance, this setup has 3 sites, each represented by a node. Underneath each node is the content for that domain:

ez_home
|--site_1_node
|----{all site_1 content is under here}
|--site_2_node
|----{all site_2 content is under here}
|--site_3_node
|----{all site_3 content is under here}

Then, in your /settings//override/site.ini.append.php file, map each domain to the respective node:

[SiteAccessSettings]
MatchOrder=host
HostMatchType=map
HostMatchMapItems[]=www.site1.com;site_1_node
HostMatchMapItems[]=www.site3.com;site_3_node
HostMatchMapItems[]=www.site3.com;site_3_node

If you do not want the top-level node of a site to show up in the URL, you can set the path prefix for each site. Here's one sample in /settings/siteaccess/site_1/site.ini.append.php:

[SiteAccessSettings]
PathPrefix=site_1_node

Also, check your permissions in the /settings/ folder. I forget which -- maybe "chmod 0755 -R /settings or chmod 0777 -R /settings/".

Then clear all your caches from the command line: bin/shell/clearcache.sh --clear-all

Hope this helps.

Just one thing, you write 2000 server.
You shouldn't use windows if you care for performance, ez publish is highly optimized for php most common home: Linux and apache.

Then over to the database, I understand u have several domains that needs their own content?

You could either let them use the same db but different paths of the content like Luke suggested.

Or you can duplicate the database you have now (either copy or dump/import).
And specify each siteaccess/site.ini.... witch db (dbname) each siteaccess should use and they should also use their own cache folder (site1):

[DatabaseSettings]
DatabaseImplementation=ezmysql
Server=localhost
User=dbuser
Password=dbpwd
Database=dbname

[FileSettings]
VarDir=var/site1

In the last case you'll have to create admin siteaccess for each domain as well!
