[Xitami] Setting Up Virtual Hosts

[Rob @ BMM]

Thank-you so much.

I thought that's how it worked.  I tried exactly that, but when Xitami
"refreshes", when I access the site, the images are gone and I get page
errors.

I just tried this again, but I stopped and started Xitami this time, and
everything seems to work.

Thanks for you guidance.

Well when setting up Xitami there are a few useful tips to know.  First a
very useful
feature is Xitami uses a hierarchy system for it's config files.  They would
look like
this:

Xitami.cfg-->defaults.cfg--->All vhost cfg's defined in defaults.cfg
(virtual host1,
virtual host 2, virtual host3)

So a rule defined in Xitami.cfg is overridden by the same rule in
defaults.cfg.
Furthermore a rule in say: vhost1.cfg (one of your vhosts defined in
defaults.cfg)
will override any setting in defaults.cfg .  However keep in mind the rules
defined in
your vhost{xx}.cfg (basically the same as found in xitami.cfg ) only apply
to the
virtual host they reference.  So you can have different vhosts with
different rules.

To set up a virtual host is very simple.  In your defaults.cfg you must
create a line
called [Virtual Hosts].  Following this line should be your DNS name
connections will
be coming in on then a "=" then the cfg with the "RULES" for your vhost.

For example in your defaults.cfg it may look like this (note I am catching
all
connections with and without a www.):

[Virtual-Hosts]
www.mydomain.com=vhost1.cfg
mydomain.com=vhost1.cfg
www.myfriendsdomain.com=vhost2.cfg
myfriendsdomain.com=vhost2.cfg


Your vhost{xx}.cfg (or any name you set it) can be set up with rules from
Xitami.cfg.
Make sure you set the different web directories in you vhost{xx}.cfg files.

Example of a vhost{xx}.cfg file:

Filename vhost1.cfg (bellow is what is inside this text file)
[Server]
webpages=c:\xitami\webpages\mywebdirectory
cgi-bin=c:\xitami\cgi-bin


Filename vhost2.cfg (bellow is what is inside this text file)
[Server]
webpages=c:\xitami\webpages\myfriendswebdirectory
cgi-bin=c:\xitami\cgi-bin


Well that is about it.  It's really pretty simple once you got the hang of
it.  Hopefully
did that help or did I shoot over your head? :)
