Hi,
I am having trouble trying to get apache to use sub domains for my 2
instances of zope.
I want test.server name for one sub domain adn live.server for the other.
The first sub domain for test instance of zope.
The second sub domain for the lvie instance of zope.
Anyone done this before?
Can you show me an example of apache config file?
Thanks

What's your apache config?
I suggest that you use ProxyPass. Something like this will work fine:

<VirtualHost IPF.YUR.SERVER>
ServerName dev.yoursite.com
ServerAdmin ian.ripping (AT) cfh (DOT) nhs.uk
ProxyPass /

ProxyPassReverse /

ProxyPass /misc_ http://localhost:9080/misc_
ProxyPass /p_ http://localhost:9080/p_
ErrorLog /
CustomLog / combined
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost IPF.YUR.SERVER>
ServerName www.yoursite.com
ServerAdmin ian.ripping (AT) cfh (DOT) nhs.uk
ProxyPass /

ProxyPassReverse /

ProxyPass /misc_ http://localhost:8080/misc_
ProxyPass /p_ http://localhost:8080/p_
ErrorLog /
CustomLog / combined
</VirtualHost>

You'll need to enable mod_proxy for your apache and you'll need to run
two Zopes on the same server. on port 8080 and one on port 9080.
All the values I chose are all example values that you can play with.

Best of luck!

Read about "Named Virtual Hosts" in the Apache documentation.

I have tried using the exaplme provided but having no luck.

This is my standard config file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin ian.ripping (AT) cfh (DOT) nhs.uk
ServerName commsg6lds
RewriteEngine
RewriteRule ^/(.*)
$1
[L,P]
</VirtualHost>

I am using rewrite rule and this works for just the internal address
http://commsg6lds

How would I configure this for http://live.commsg6lds
Do I have to enable NameVirtualHost?
What should I have for listen? Currently:
Listen 80

What does your RewriteRule Log tell you?

Check out that site to help you write it out ;)

How about something like this::
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin ian.ripping (AT) cfh (DOT) nhs.uk
ServerName live.commsg6lds
RewriteEngine
RewriteRule ^/(.*)
$1
[L,P]
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin ian.ripping (AT) cfh (DOT) nhs.uk
ServerName dev.commsg6lds
RewriteEngine
RewriteRule ^/(.*)
$1
[L,P]
</VirtualHost>

What way live.commsg61ds points to zope on port 8080
and dev.commsg61ds points to another zope on port 9080

You really should read Apache's "NameVirtualHost" documentation

I think this might be working but cant tell.
Do I have to do something with my windows host file on my server to make
these addresses naviagable?

It works!

I had to change the <VirtualHost *:80entried to <VirtualHost
dev.commsg6lds& <VirtualHost live.commsg6lds>

Also had add IP addresses and domains to windows hosts file.

Thanks for all the help!

<VirtualHost dev.commsg6lds>
ServerAdmin ian.ripping@
ServerName dev.commsg6lds
RewriteEngine
RewriteRule ^/(.*)
$1
[L,P]
</VirtualHost

<VirtualHost live.commsg6lds>
ServerAdmin ian.ripping@
ServerName live.commsg6lds
RewriteEngine
RewriteRule ^/(.*)
$1
[L,P]
</VirtualHost>
