Ok, I am caving in and need some help here folks. This is driving me =
nuts. Two years ago, on a Win98 platform I was able to get virtual =
hosting to work via DNS. But now I am running a newer Xitami version on =
WinNT 4.0 and can't seem to get anything to work.
I am testing this all locally on private LAN - then once the sites are =
working properly will deploy the server to the internet with valid =
addresses. My local DNS server is set up correctly and all the PTR and =
A records authenticating properly.
Could someone who is successfully doing DNS virtual hosting please send =
me their xitami.cfg and their defaults.cfg files for reference. As =
well, could you give me a snapshot of the directory structure of the =
Xitami root directory. I think I recall how the directory structure is =
supposed to look when configured correctly.
How are the virtual site directories set up. Like example A or example =
B, I believe its supposed to look like Example A (which is completely =
logical because it stores all of the Virtual Sites pages, files, scripts =
under a single directory branch). But when I use the Virtual Host =
Wizard it is creating the directories similar to Example B (which =
doesn't make sense because its seperating the virtual sites files under =
multiple directory branches). =20
=20
Example A:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
/webserver
- cgi-bin
- htdocs
- ftproot
- carpe-dm
-htdocs
-cgi-bin
-ftproot
- kdralumni
-htdocs
-cgi-bin
-ftproot
Example B:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
/webserver
- cgi-bin
-carpe-dm
-kdralumni
- htdocs
-carpe-dm
-kdralumni
- ftproot
What the heck am I doing wrong???????????????????????????????
