The short version. :-)

If you want to run two or more virtual-hosts off of a single IP address you
are going to have to use name based v-hosts. It is really a lot more simple
than it seems.

The first thing you need to do is create a configuration file for each v-host.
The easiest way to think about the configuration for each v-host is that the
configuration file is a defaults.cfg for _each_ host. Then in your
defaults.cfg you put a pointer/reference for the v-host configuration to that
file.

I'm going to use one.domain.com and two.domain.com in this example. The
_bare_minimum_ CFG file for each v-host is below:

---one.domain.com.cfg--start--
#*END

[Server]
    Defaults=defaults.cfg
    Webpages=one
    Hostname=one.domain.com
---one.domain.com.cfg--end--

---two.domain.com.cfg--start--
#*END

[Server]
    Defaults=defaults.cfg
    Webpages=two
    Hostname=two.domain.com
---two.domain.com.cfg--end--

Then in your defaults.cfg you'll need to add the [Virtual-hosts] section (note
the spacing at the beginning of each line):

--
[Virtual-hosts]
    One.domain.com=one.domain.com.cfg
    Two.domain.com=two.domain.com.cfg
--

The web files for one.domain.com would go in \xitami\webpages\one and for
two.domain.com in \xitami\webpages\two.

You'll also want to look into creating a basehost.cfg, which can be found in
the documentation here:

Good luck! I hope this helps.

Xitami excels at name based virtual hosting. I'm running over 25 (at last
count) here with _zero_ problems what so ever.
