UPDATE: Um. Turns out this isn’t the best way to do this. See my second attempt here.
\nI have my own Virtual Private Server (VPS) on which I use the excellent Virtual Multiblog (d’oh – still haven’t finished that post) to host multiple WordPress sites on one server. I then wanted to consolidate some other sites I’m responsible for onto this VPS and save some hosting fees. I didn’t want to rewrite them as WordPress blogs though, and that left me trying to figure out how to host both types of site on one server using WAMP.
\nI couldn’t find a tutorial to do this anywhere, so here’s a go. I’m using Apache v2.2.11, and distinguishing between domain names, rather than IP addresses.
\n*Disclaimer: I’m not (and don’t claim to be) an expert. This could break things, upset your granny or otherwise not do what you want. I’m happy to receive corrections or improvements – or thanks if it works for you!*
\nFirst, in Apache’s httpd.conf, enable the VirtualHosts include by changing:
\n\n# Virtual hosts
\n#Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
to
\n\n# Virtual hosts
\nInclude conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
Now, edit httpd-vhosts.conf to include a VirtualHost for your domain, e.g.
\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"#
\n
\n# Use name-based virtual hosting.
\n#NameVirtualHost *:80
\n<VirtualHost *:80>
\nServerAdmin <you@email.com>
\nServerName theflatdomain.com
\nServerAlias *.theflatdomain.com
