Hi folks,

Ubuntu 6.05.3 drake server amd64
Apache2

I'm prepared testing virtual hosting but I have only one registered domain and one public IP. I will register 2/3 free subdomain for this test. However I'm not going to subscribe additional public IP.

Can I do the test with only one public IP? If YES please advise which document will be relevant for me to follow as a guide. TIA

B.R.

yes. you will just need to setup virtual sites in apache by creating new conf files in /etc/apache2/sites-available then enabling them with a2ensite <configfile_name>

Yes, the whole point of virtual hosting is to share an IP among several domains. The URL header is analyzed by apache and it loads the pages from the directory root you specify for that domain.
