2 Sites with lighttpd

[f37u5g0d]

Title says it all. How do you set up two websites with two different url's both pointing to the same (my) ip? IDK if this makes it any harder or easier but I have them set up on two different ports. I have searched the net but it seems like all of the lighttpd tutorials are for php and other advanced things.

This is called "virtual hosting". Here's the link I used to set mine up in LightTPD: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-lighttpd-web-server-setting-up-virtual-hosting.html

Edit:
instead of ftpuser1 ftpuser2, use www-data

No need for different ports, your server will answer the request according to domain name.

Ok I tried that how to and now I am getting this error I believe because I commented out the server.document-root line near the top.

sudo /etc/init.d/lighttpd reload
* Reloading web server configuration lighttpd 2008-07-30 11:23:15: (configfile.c.1128) a default document-root has to be set
2008-07-30 11:23:15: (server.c.591) setting default values failed


Here is my lighttpd.conf file

Bump

[dmizer]

I vaguely recall having this same problem.

Uncomment this line by removing the # symbols:

## server.document-root = "/home/ed/Website"
Uncomment and change this line:

#accesslog.filename = "/var/log/lighttpd/personal/access.log"

Then comment this entire section by putting # symbols in front of each line like so:

#$HTTP["host"] =~ "^(www\.|\.)homelinux.com$" {
#server.document-root = "/home/ed/Website"
#server.errorlog = "/var/log/lighttpd/personal/error.log"
#accesslog.filename = "/var/log/lighttpd/personal/access.log"
#server.error-handler-404 = "/e404.php"
#}

Thank you for your efforts dmizer but because of time constraints I had to put this on hold. I will def re-visit this project but I need to get my new site up and running so essentially I took down the old one and now I only serve to this address. http://www.mwp.kicks-***.org

I do have another question though, not sure if it's worthy of its own thread but lighttpd prints a fantastic access log but while I am building my site I have a firefox window open so that I can hit refresh and visually check the changes I've made. Because of this the access log is about 90% my ip local (intranet) address and 10% other people looking at the site. Is there a way to not log my own ip? I don't want to block access from my ip all together. I just want to be able to tell the log "hey if you see that 192.168.1.1 has accessed the site don't log it."

Edit: Replace those "*"'s in the address with that nasty word for butt that starts with an "a." (lowercase).
