IP Based virtual hosting

Important Note: RH52Pv2.0 and L22Pv2.x only support IP based virtual hosting. This means that each web site (domain name) has to have it's own IP address.

To add multiple IP's and setup web sites for them, please do the following:

1. Add additional IP addresses to your network adapter from Home|Network|Interfaces click on the pencil next to your network adapter, add additional IP addresses, STORE, and COMMIT your changes.
2. Add the additional domain names from Home|Network|Domains. You need to at least enter the Domain Name and Primary IP Address for the domain. You can click on the "?" for help on filling this form out. After you add all of the domains, click on STORE, and COMMIT your changes.
3. Add host names for the additonal domain names from Home|Network|Naming. You'll probably want to add names like www.domainname.com for each IP address. After you add all of the host names, click on STORE, and COMMIT your changes.
4. From Home|Services|WWW you should be able to click on the WEB SITES tab and add a web site for each www.domainname.com that you set up in step 3. Make sure and specify a different "Path" for each one. You'll probably want to put all of the paths parallel to each other.

        |--- /log       |--- /PublicFTP           |--- /domainname1
   /var |--- /mnt ------|--- /System ---|--- /Web |--- /domainname2
        |--- /preserve  |--- /Web                 |--- /domainname3
   

   If you have L22Pv3.x, you'll want to select "IP" for "Web Site Host Method".

   When you're done adding your web sites, click on STORE, and COMMIT your changes.

5. You'll probably want to setup a username for the webmaster of each domain name and set their home directory to be the "Path" to the web site. That way each user can ftp/telnet in and edit the documents that they're responsible for.
6. If you are using the mail server on your NetMAX and have both domain names (and their MX record) pointing to the NetMAX then each user (Home|Users|Users) will actually be able to receive email at any of the domain names associated with the NetMAX machine.

   So the user john would receive email at john@domainname1.com and/or john@domainname2.com. It would be up to john on which domain of the two he wanted to have people send his email to. He could use both if he wanted.

   You will need to make sure that the check box for "Include all domains for this NetMAX" is checked under the ROUTE tab from Home|Services|Mail if you don't want to have to send your mail to john@www.domainname1.com. You can click on the "?" for help when in that area for more information.

   In RH52Pv2.0 and L22Pv2.x, you can only setup email aliases for the primary domain name. In L22Pv3.x, you can setup virtual email aliases for each seperate domain name.

Name Based Virtual Hosting

Important Note: L22Pv3.x supports both IP based, and name based virtual hosting. This means that each web site (domain name) does not need to have its own IP address, because multiple web sites can be hosted on each IP address.

To add multiple IP's and setup web sites for them, please do the following:

1. When setting up your first web site under Home|Services|WWW, you will want to select "Name" for the "Web Site Host Method", if you are going to do name based virtual hosting.
2. To add addtional web sites, you'll need to add the additional domain names from Home|Network|Domains. You need to at least enter the Domain Name and Primary IP Address for the domain. You can click on the "?" for help on filling this form out. After you add all of the domains, click on STORE, and COMMIT your changes.
3. Add host names for the additonal domain names from Home|Network|Naming. You'll probably want to add names like www.domainname.com for each IP address. After you add all of the host names, click on STORE, and COMMIT your changes.
4. From Home|Services|WWW you should be able to click on the WEB SITES tab and add a web site for each www.domainname.com that you set up in step 3. Make sure and specify a different "Path" for each one. You'll probably want to put all of the paths parallel to each other.

        |--- /log       |--- /PublicFTP           |--- /domainname1
   /var |--- /mnt ------|--- /System ---|--- /Web |--- /domainname2
        |--- /preserve  |--- /Web                 |--- /domainname3
   

   Ensure that you select "Name" for the "Web Site Host Method."

   When you're done adding your web sites, click on STORE, and COMMIT your changes.

5. You'll probably want to setup a username for the webmaster of each domain name and set their home directory to be the "Path" to the web site. That way each user can ftp/telnet in and edit the documents that they're responsible for.
6. If you are using the mail server on your NetMAX and have both domain names (and their MX record) pointing to the NetMAX then each user (Home|Users|Users) will actually be able to receive email at any of the domain names associated with the NetMAX machine.

   So the user john would receive email at john@domainname1.com and/or john@domainname2.com. It would be up to john on which domain of the two he wanted to have people send his email to. He could use both if he wanted.

   You will need to make sure that the check box for "Include all domains for this NetMAX" is checked under the ROUTE tab from Home|Services|Mail, if you don't want to have to send your mail to john@www.domainname1.com. In L22Pv3.1, this check box is called "Consider all mail local for this domain" and is located under the MAIL tab in Home|Network|Domains. You can click on the "?" for help when in that area for more information.

   Virtual email aliases can be created for each domain name available on the NetMAX.
