Thanks everyone....all your help worked.  I have the system up and =
running now....I have 7 virtual sites all running.   Is there a limit to =
virtual DNS sites Xitami can support (off a single IP)?

    Subject: [Xitami] HELP - virtual DNS hosting



    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???????????????????????????????
