I have server 10.1 installed, and I'm needing to serve out web from about a dozen domains from this machine. I've read the pertinent areas of the 10.1 server manual, I've dug around online, and now I'm completely stumped as to how to do it properly.

I've used the server admin app to set up multiple sites in the 'sites' tab, and this hasn't worked. being told that I needed to run dns, I then I began mucking around with the DNS thanks to QuickDNS Pro, and that also was bunk, and in fact now I can't access any of the webservers.

I would like to run my own dns, as well as be able to serve these dozen or so odd domains out of this box. I'm on a commercial line which allows reverse NAT and would be absolutely grateful if someone who has this down already could take a bit of time to explain it to me.

as a perhaps relevant note, this needs to be done from a single machine, and hence single ip address. the domains are registered at both domainmonger.com and register.com, both of which provide me with dns.

many thanks.

I'm pretty sure you need to set up Virtual Hosts for Apache. I don't have Server, so I'm not sure if there's a GUI way to do it, but the Apache manual will explain how to edit the config file to handle this task.

I think that the way virtual hosts are setup in server 10.1 are through the Server Admin/Internet/Web tabs, but I'm not able to get it working as such. If anyone else has and could let me know if I'm either doing something wrong or simply missing out on something, it would be great. If not I'll do a reinstall of the OS in the next couple days and see if I can rectify the errors I might have made with Quick DNS Pro...

thanks.

ahah!

so I figured out it was just my dns that was completely messed up. however, now I need to do things like 'john.mydomain.com', and the server admin/internet/web tabs aren't handling this properly. any ideas so far as this goes? or how I would go about setting up my dns properly to handle these sorts of requests?

thanks again.
