Creating multiple http servers on one machine

Question

I created multiple http servers on one machine.
I did this in the following way:
Created a http service as nt service with the following command:
apache -i -n Testservice -f d:\oracle\isuites\apache\apache\conf\httpd2.conf.
When I start the service, I always get an error:
Didn't return an error. Cannot start service.
Can someone help me.
I need two httpd services as nt service. Because, I want to use oracle fail safe. So I need a service.
Alternative : I can create batch files. But I want to start these batch files as nt service. Is there a possibility on
Windows nt to do this, or an available tool.
Thanks in advance,
Iloon

          If you want to have multiplie servers in the same machine and you want to cluster them then you need ip for each instance.
          If you want multiple instances without clustering, then you can have them run on the same ip but each one should have a different port.

          If you are accessing the ejb/services on the same server using a servlet. You can get the context, simply using the default getInitialContext(). This should return the context to the local machine. This shoudnt require any ip information.
