[users@httpd] How to preview virtual domains from IP number?
I have tried to search Google, the documentaion and the mailing list
archives for a method to do what I want. Unfortunately, I appear to
be too much of a newbie to know the right terms to search for. Would
someone please at least point me in the right direction?
I'm using Apache on a Linux webserver, with several name-based virtual domains.
I'm moving a series of domains from my old server to my new Apache
server. Having loaded all the files to the new server, I want to
check the files in a web browser BEFORE I change the DNS servers, to
be sure everything's working.
How do I do this? When I type my IP number into a browser, it shows
the first virtual domain on my list. Is there a way I can somehow
bring up another domain, at least temporarily?
Thanks!
Doug

Doug,
It could be a bit of a pain in the butt this way but... you could:
1) load up your httpd.conf file in an editor
2) enable only one virtual domain at a time by commenting out the others
3) restart apache - each time

I'm sorry, in my last post I said hosts.sam, the name of the file you should
modify is hosts, I don't know where's it, usually it's on
c:\windows\system32\ or c:\winnt\system32 .
Sorry !!
Good luck.

I think Dale's answer it's ok but the best way to try your sites is
modifying your /etc/hosts in linux or changing you'r hosts.sam in windows.
In those files you can specify a line like this :
new server ip domain name
--------------------------------------
233.222.222.22 www.yoursite.com
One line for each site.
I hope to be useful.
Good luck.

Doug,
If you are using name-based domains, the only way I could think of
doing this is to setup a temp DNS server with the new information, then
have your testing machine (the one you are running the web browser on)
point to that DNS server.
someone else may have a better solution, but this is all I can think of.
good luck
Dale

I am no expert with Apache but the way I interpret your question,
problem is that IP address always sees the first name and you want to
copy subsequent sites and test them before you set all the httpd.conf
file.
Suggestion is to make a directory in the main nameserver like
your.domain.com/one and put a simple html file which will redirect to
the proper directory in the tree say "../newdomain/html/". Test all the
new files which will of course have to be relatively linked within the
tree, once you are sure it is ok the next entry in httpd.conf will be
for your new name based virtual domain. This way you are separating
testing of the web site as opposed to testing the routing to the web
site.
