Multiple WebSite Hosting Question

I just purchased a new MAC Pro with OS X Leopard Server in Advanced Mode and I am trying to configure it to be a webserver only. I created all of my websites and everything looks correct but when I try and start the service I get an error message that pops up and says the following
"A service has encountered an error. Try to refresh the view (IP/Web). Report the problem to the administrator if it persists. (Could not start web service - details in error log.) 100002"
I look in the error log and I have a lot of SSL errors and I don't even have SSL enabled. I am also getting a Can't bind to IP:80 error. I need this server to run PHP/MySql. Could I uncheck all of the Modules except the PHP one? or will that create even more problems?

Below you will see the log file I took from the server. I get this when I try to start the web server service.

I removed the IP address and added 0.0.0.0 There is a legit IP in that place.

OSX Server 10.6.3 - (Multiple) Website hosting via Server Admin

Has anyone else experienced/had this problem? I am posting this hear in hopes that someone else has experienced this as well and may know how to correct/resolve this problem.
We currently have purchased a collaboration software I have installed and I am running via OSX. The files are stored in /Library/WebServer/Documents/collab. OSX comes with a default website built in at /Library/WebServer/Documents. I intend to install the collab website in anticipation of adding more sites in the future and possibly utilizing the default OSX web services as well. I have set up our internal DNS server to route collab.company.com to the internal ip address of our OSX server. The default OSX webpage is currently hosted on port 80, I am running our collab site on port 8x (we are already hosting websites on a different server on port 80, and the router can only forward port requests to a single ip address).
With this configuration, if I enter the address of collab.company.com, I get the default OSX server running on port 80. If I enter collab.company.com/collab, I then get our collab website (on port 8x). Essentially I want collab.company.com to open the collab website, not the OSX website. What is odd is, it seems that if I uncheck the default OSX webpage in server admin and disable it, change the collab site to port 80 as a test and go to collab.company.com I get a failed connection that the site is down or doesn't exist, like it is offline. It seems almost as if OSX is completely shutting down the entire directory of /Library/WebServer/Documents which is where the collab website exits inside of (Documents/collab). If I re-enable the default OSX website, then both websites become live again.
So I guess my question is, is there a different structure/architecture that should be followed to prevent this behaviour? If so, how do I get multiple websites installed and configured properly in server admin to respond to their appropriate dns requests. I also forgot to mention for my collab site entry in server admin I have the host name in the general tab as collab.company.com, as well as the alias collab.company.com, but when I enter collab.company.com I am getting the default OSX site.

I agree, this seems to make sense in theory, but here is the result I am getting.
I have my internal (not my osx server) dns server containing a host entry of collab.company.com = 192.168.1.xx. I have a virtual host entry in OSX in the aliases area (correct?) of collab.company.com for my collab site. However, whenever I enter the url in my browser of collab.company.com, I keep getting the default Mac OSX Server website page. I even put an alias in the OSX server site of mainpage to try and differenciate it, but it doesn't seem to take or matter.
So once again, in theory I think "oh, just uncheck the enable button next to the default OSX website", I uncheck it, and then both of my websites are offline, or appear to be? For my collab site, the link redirects, but I get the error page.
Safari:
Not Found
The requested URL /collab/public/index.php was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/2.2.14 (Unix) PHP/5.3.1 Server at collab.company.com Port 80
Google Chrome:
Oops! This link appears to be broken.
Thing is, I even changed my collab site to be running on port 80 as well as a test. I check enable for my osx default page, and they are both back online. If I change the default osx sites port to say 87 or something, and leave the collab at 80, I then get the same bad request messages etc. If I put the osx site back to port 80, they both work.

Multiple Relay Host question

In the GWIA settings under SMTP/MIME, the "Relay Host for outbound messages" we have the address for a Cisco Ironport c170 that filters our messages.
We want to add another Ironport for failover. If I add a second IP, can this be prioritized so the 2nd unit will only be used if the 1st is down?
What logic will/might be used when a second relay host is used?
Am I approaching this right or should I plan to let it send from either relay host?
Thank you for any help you can offer.

I Like that answer!!!
On the Public side we are going to have different priorities on the MX Records.
I would prefer that One Ironport get all the messages, but realize they both most likely will.
We Quarantine all messages with attachments and manually release them "if" the recipient calls us to let us know they were expecting the message or know he sender.
So I assume we will have to check both Ironports to see which did the quarantine.
We will be using the Ironport Centralized Management to keep the two Ironport configurations the same.
If you have any recommendations or tips, Please share.
Thank You

We are also using a clustered IronPort solution. We have both IP's
specified in the Relay Host configuration. It is my understanding that
the first IP is always used until it fails.

Website hosting question

I am considering using iWeb 09 to build a site, but I have a question. Do I have to use Mobil Me to get all the features provided in iWeb, or can I use a 3rd party hosting provider? Are there specific requirements for a hosting provider?
Thanks

My site is new. I just wanted to get some photos up and blog my thoughts. iWeb was handy so I grabbed it. I am definitely system savy - but I had no experience at all with html or site construction. I figured I would just live within the confines of the tool at hand.
Tell ya though. I suggest taking a couple days and investigating the alternatives. iWeb is very fast and easy - but it doesn't give you much room to move.
I did have my site up and running within about an hour of deciding to do one though - so it is definitely an easy tool to use.
Another limitation? Well I am looking into how to create an index for my blog. There is nothing native to iWeb that will do this. I may end up just creating a link set on a blank page - tying index descriptors to other pages that themselves link to various blog pages. A pain in the *** to maintain. But little other options with iWeb.
I am also looking at other tool kits now with the thought of migrating to it.

Multiple Website hosting problem

Hi,
I'm having all sorts of trouble that I can't figure out. I've read all the posts and forums and still can't sort this out so I'm hoping someone smarter than me can help....
I'm running 3 websites from my server. All are set up to point toward the same IP address attached to the server. Following all the instructions, using server admin, in the web section I have all 3 websites, each site pointing to its own folder. Can someone please tell me why then whenever I try to access any of the 3 sites I can only get the site at the top of the list? No matter which site I try to access, I only see the top site. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks to anyone that can help with this....

Hi,
For each named website there needs to be a DNS entry for your primary zone. That way each http request to IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (domain.com) will resolve to the correct domain.com even though all the IPs are the same. Each domain should be assigned on the Web site General panel to IP Any and * will appear in address which directs all website domains to your single server.
A * in the Alias page means it will be a default page and the first such site will be the default if resolution of the name doesn't happen.
So in DNS under primary zone (usually the first and default site domain) put a machine record for
domain1 PTR to the internet IP address,
domain2 PTR to the same internet IP address,
domain2 PTR to the same internet IP address,
and remove * from the Alias panel for each domain. Also put www.domainX.com as an alias in the panel so either domain.com or www.domain.com will be resolved.
This is contained in Web Technologies Admin but isn't precisely stated.
Hope this helps,
Harry

Side server include coding problem with multiple websites

How can I use an address bar across multiple websites?
When I access my web sites all the sites are in separate folders in the account, ie site1 folder, site2 folder etc.
I placed the following code on a page in site2 
NavigationBar.shtm is in site1 folder which i think is referred to as the root folder.
When I tested the code in a page in site1 it worked but when I tested it in a page located in site2 the following shows up where I want the navigation bar: [an error occurred while processing this directive]
Is it possible for me to have a single ssi page in one location and have it apply to more than 20 websites all in separate folders?
If it is possible, what code do I need to insert into a page that is not in the folder that has the ssi page?

Deploy multiple websites under basic or standard account and charge individually as per site usage.

Hello Everyone,
I want to host multiple website under one basic/standard account and charge the individual clients as per their site usage, so my question are:
Can I host multiple websites under one basic/standard account?
How can I see billing for each client website or is there any way to check billing per website?
Can I create co-administrator on the basis of websites so that he can manage only his website?
Thanks, Dilip

Hi Dilip,
Thanks for your posting!
I am not sure that I totally understand your question. From my understanding, I think you may want to charge the every websites separately by their usage. And the meaning of "host multiple websites under one basic/standard account" is that you
want to host your multiple website on one basic/standard pricing tier.
>>Can I host multiple websites under one basic/standard account?
The answer is yes. Firstly, I recommend you refer to the pricing details (http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/websites/). For each pricing tier, all of them have the
description about the limit of website number. For basic and standard tier, they are no limit of website number.
>>How can I see billing for each client website or is there any way to check billing per website?
Currently, Azure don't support this feature about check every website billing on one pricing tier. But Azure can show every websites usage about every metrics and the consuming information . You could check the usage on the new preview portal. And Azure
billing item details, I suggest you can see this documents(http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/understand-your-bill/). The billing item don't include every websites
billing.
>>Can I create co-administrator on the basis of websites so that he can manage only his website?
Co-Administrator is users for your Azure subscription. They have the permission for all of your services and included websites service. If you want the user only can manage his website on Azure portal, the one approach is that you can create the new
subscriptions for each users. They can use their subscription to manage their service. The other approach is that you can use the Azure VM . And you can add the permission for users. And your users can login on VM using RDP.

Coldfusion 9 Standard w/Multiple Websites and Rackspace

Can I host multiple websites (i.e., with unique IP addresses) on 1 install of CF9 Standard?
I plan to purchase CF9 standard and install it on a Rackspace Cloud Server.
I have about 5 websites I want to port over from a shared hosting environment.
Thanks In Advance,
BlueSpoon

Josh, Carl, and Adam,
Thanks for trying to answer my question.
My question boils down to this: Can I host multiple websites (i.e., each with their own unique IP addresses) on 1 install of CF9 Standard on a single Cloud Site?
According to Carl, this can be configured in IIS so I believe the technical issue is resolved. So my next issue is if this would be ok with Adobe? Would I be breaking their licensing terms by having 5 (or even 20) sites using 1 install of CF9 Standard on a single cloud site?
My question arrose b/c reading this: http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/pdfs/cf9_feature_comparison_matrix_ue.pdf . I interpreted this as multiple sites can only be done wiith CF 9 Enterprise edition.
Thanks in advance for the advice.
Bluespoon
Slighty Off Topic But Relevant:
@Josh.. Not sure if you're an Adobe employee, but my questions are valid and legitimate pre-sales questions. I'm just an individual not a large corporation. So before I plunk down $2,000 for CF9, I need to know if I can legally (and technically) host multiple websites on 1 CF9 Standard license. I'm sure Adobe can afford to hire at least 2 guys to answer questions from budding entrepreneurs and small busineses. At the very least it's good customer service. Even Cisco has a dedicated support team for small business. It's ridiculous that I can't even speak (or even email) someone at Adobe to get at least "yes" or "no" answer.
Individual developers are the lifeblood of coldfusion. If it weren't for guys like Charlie Arehart, Dan Vega, Ray Camden, Ben Nadel, etc I assure you that the CF developer community would be much smaller. Last I checked, Univeristy of Wisconsin has not posted any CF tutorials or trips and tricks.
I've been a Coldfusion fan since 2005. And I've been familiar with it since 1998 while doing contract work with the Fed. So it's like a smack in the face that I am ignored once I'm ready to take the financial risk and pay $2,000 for my own copy of their server software. Developers have other options. Ignoring the devloper base is not the way to go. And that plain sucks. Adobe has really disppointed me. They've let me down.

Several Multilingual Websites Hosted from One Console

Hi All
Hope everyone is well and getting ready for the winter. It feels like it’s already here in the UK.
I have a client who is based in France, Germany, UK and soon to be in Spain. They are rapidly expanding and we are supporting that expansion.
Website
I have a few questions that need to be clarified:
They currently host the UK website with us:
We are wanting to host the French website from BC but using only one Console – So it will be co-hosted with the UK one.
Is this possible?
Can we create separate directories?
The various owners of the websites require the console to be in their native language (English, French, German and Spanish). When they log in using their email [email protected] or [email protected] can we point them to the native language?
Would it be easier to create the sites separate with individual accounts?
Email
If the users require several email address in UK, FR, DE and ES can it still be managed from one console and the emails go to the correct users? All the domains would be going through the BC console in a single hosted setup for multiple websites (if this is possible)
I would appreciate any answers or help people can provide.
Kind Regards
Asad Ali

Is SSL and multiple websites possible with Lion Server?

this is the obligatory apology from a nub here....
I have not been a sys admin since the days of NT 4.0.
I like to think that "hey, i might need a touch up here and there, but I think I can find my way around..." Wrong.
I have been searching, and reading and searching and reading, and trying everything I can think of.. and I CAN NOT figure out how to get mutliple websites working with Lion Server, using self signed certs 1 for each of my subdomains.
Has anyone, anywhere (thank you google for returning searches to me from 2004?!?! More puzzled confusion....) posted a step by step guide yet???
I have a mac mini, and I have two domain names that are resolving to my exterinal interface on my router just fine, and I have tried what I thought was
every different possible combination of voodoo, magic, 00000...MoreTestingNeeded.conf, and all the other tricks.
Is it possible to get ssl and multiple websites working with one IP address?
Thanks...

Thank you very much for your time and input. My birthday was fantastic! Thanks for asking.
I found out about SNI while researching an error I was getting in the log. I really never found any definitive "this is what you need to do", so I was going to get back to it later.
You probably know this, but Lion Server breaks out all of the virtual hosts into seperate documents in the "sites" directory. All I do is I launch the server.app, and in the web component, I enter the name of the website that I want to resolve to my server, and I give it the path to the docs. Thats it. There is no DNS configuration to speak of, on my part, and I don't believe that its necessary (?) to touch the httpd.conf file at this point yet either, even though I think I hear others saying you do. (I have no issues with getting into the file and making any changes, I just thought it was interesting.)
I am still trying to figure out how a user is supposed to add any other types of services LIKE ftp, etc. I know and use the server admin tools, but I have found that the app really does do its job in terms of creating all the dns records for resolving the sites you create. I sure hope its not just using the host file, is it? I never see any additional files in the DNS manager, for any of the subdomains. Where are they?
Here is the contents of what appears to be the first file read, that is for SSL enabled sites:

So.. my questions are:
Where in the .confs do I add what I need from your above items? Would it go each of the site docs that I need? I am really not sure what apple is doing here.
I have 4 domain names resolving to my server right now, and subdomains to each of the domains. So there are a total of about 10 "site" docs, not a big deal to change each, I just wonder if Lion overwrites these docs with each refresh or what? Also, If I try to add a third .com right now it breaks the whole site.
(Out of conversation, but I just remembered this. I just had to "quit" out of the server.app.) When installing the directory server, it hangs on "getting certificates". The spinning wheel (not the rainbow collered one, but the black one by the words "Getting Certificates") just sits there and spins. I finally just hit the red X and relaunch server.
Lastly, you meniton importing the key. I am using the key manager within the server app. I am not sure where and how I would make the cert and key you are referring to for the importing? I have tried to use the key manager in the OS, but I am not sure of the relationship between that key manager app, and the key manager within the server.app. I have tried to create certs in the keymanager in the OS side, but I do not know how to get them to show up for use in the keymanager in the server.app.
BTW: Thanks. Thanks for the help. I really appreciate it.

How we set up multiple websites on OSX Server

BACKGROUND
After fiddling and futzing around for weeks (actually since last year) I've finally figured out how to set up multiple websites (virtual sites) using one port and one IP address. While there seems to be lots of discussion on this topic, it seems that the basic assumption is that one knows everything about websites, DNS and all that stuff, which I do not.
When our network was originally established the engineer set up a wiki and also configured webmail, so we had two sites, one secured for mail and the other open for Calendar and the wiki. We were not hosting any websites locally because our school website is hosted by a company in New England.
This year I wanted to set up websites for teachers and students. As great as the wiki is, there are some things it just can't do as well as a website. So I figured if I set up the sites teachers could link back and forth from one to the other. In addition kids could now start to use a real website instead of the cobbled together file mess I had when we ran a Windows network. Also iWeb is a much more accessible tool than FrontPage.
SERVER SIDE:
Snow Leopard Server - 10.6.4
There are two - actually three pieces if you want your iWeb clients to connect to the server: Server Side Web Services, DNS and, in my case, FTP.
================================================ SERVER SIDE - WEB SERVICES
If you haven't turned on Web services, you'll need to open Server Admin and do that. If you don't know how to set up web services - just reply and I'll step you through that as well.
Once web services are set up and turned on, you'll see it listed under your server’s name in the Server Admin sidebar. Click on "Web" and then click on the "Sites" tab at the top of page. This is where you list all your sites.
Click the plus button and enter the fully qualified name of your site, for example: "students.myschool.org". Don't use the defaults here (no name) - that's what got me in trouble before. BE SPECIFIC!
You'll be looking at the "General" tab (the other tabs, "Options", "Realms", etc. we'll deal with in a second).
On the "General Tab", the default IP address ("any") and port (80) is just fine. We'll run everything over port 80. (Apache figures all the virtual site stuff out - you don't need your rocket science degree for that.)
"Web Folder:" is important because this is how you'll "segment" your websites. While I would NEVER do this again, we have a solid state hard drive for the OS and a RAID array for our data files. IF you have that, make sure you do NOT use the default "Web Folder" because it will store all your files on your solid state drive. There may not be enough room, over time, on that drive. I've not experienced it yet, but it's my understanding that if the drive fills up, the server shuts down.
I store my web sites on a folder on the RAID array.
Everything else on that tab can be left as the default. (Just make sure that you have an "index.html" or "index.php" file in your web folder root, but iWeb will take care of that for you.)
I would put in your email address in the "Administrator Email:" field.
Under "Options" you really don't have to put anything. I've tested making websites with iWeb and it doesn't appear that anything needs to be checked.
Nothing needs to be entered in "Realms" as well from what I see working w/ iWeb.
The defaults in "Logging" are fine.
You can leave "Security" alone, but we do have a (self-issued) certificate listed for our webmail site.
"Aliases" is important. Under "Web Server Aliases" you enter how you want the site to respond to when users type in a URL in their web browsers.
When our web server was initially set up the engineer set up "wiki.myschool.org" on port 80 and "mail.myschool.org" on port 443. In the aliases section was nothing but a "*" (the wildcard character). That means, from what I can figure out, that the webserver will respond to these sites regardless of what is typed in the URL. (Well, something like that - point is, if you create OTHER websites, you'll NEVER get to them because the wildcard character in the "Aliases" section, in effect, grabs those web requests and redirects them to the sites that are already there.
In my case I deleted both of those wild card characters. For my "wiki.myschool.org" site, I entered "mail.myschool.org". That means if you type EITHER "wiki." or "mail.", go to the site that’s stored in the “Web Folder” we set up when those sites were created.
For "mail.myschool.org" I just DELETED the wildcard character. I wanted that site (since it was secured) only to respond to "mail." - nothing else. (You're not going to that secured site for any other reason than to get your mail.)
"Proxy" can be left blank. Have no idea what that does. As time permits I'll do some research and figure out what it's used for.
"Web Services" is if you want to provide any MORE services to this particular site. Most likely you'll want to uncheck all the boxes. For our "wiki." site, we have checked "Wikis", "Blogs", and "Calendar". For our "mail." site we have those checked PLUS "Mail".
I would create a separate "Web Folder" for each of your sites. I don't know if that's a requirement but for housekeeping purposes, I would keep the sites separated. And I SUSPECT that it's "best practice" to separate your wiki from your other websites.
SERVER SIDE - DNS
OK...now you have to make your site reachable and the only way to do that is to set up DNS so that folks don't need to type in the IP address of your web server. You need to set up DNS inside your network and, if you want folks in the outside world to reach your website, you'll need to set up an external DNS as well. I'm going to cover INTERNAL DNS - if you don't know how to set up EXTERNAL DNS - reply or email me and I'll post those instructions.
Most likely you have already created Zones for you network...all you really need to do is create "Aliases" so that when you type "students.myschool.org" your web browser will know that site resides on IP address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX.
If you've set up Zones then you already have a "Machine" setting that translates your server’s name to an IP address and vice versa.
All you need to do is create an "Alias" (CNAME) record for, in this case, "students". You’ll see the choices for types of records when you click the "Add Record" button.
There are only two fields to configure for a record: "Alias Name" - in this case "students" and "Destination" - in this case "servername.myschool.org". (You've already entered a machine record that says "servername" = 192.168.1.x.)
That's it for Internal DNS.
SERVER SIDE - FTP
Now you have to get iWeb to communicate with the webserver.
There are only three ways iWeb will communicate with webservers: MobileMe, Local Folder and FTP Server.
Local Folder is really only practical if you want to host a website on a laptop (I was blown away initially when I found out that all Macs had a built-in web server - how neat is that?). I think there are some very cool things teachers could do with configuration, and, of course, you wouldn't need to set up any web services on the web server, but that's for another discussion. You need to set up FTP services on the web server.
Turn on and enable FTP on your webserver.
You can leave the defaults for "General", "Messages" and "Logging". "Advanced" is the only thing you want to set. I set "Authenticated Users See:" to "Home Folder Only". I set the "FTP Root" to the same root folder in which I plan to store my web sites (/VOLUMES/RAID Array/WebServer/Documents). This setting sets that folder only to be accessible via FTP.
I would suggest returning to your DNS settings and adding one more "Alias". Set "ftp." to point to your webserver. Why? So folks can edit their sites from home (see below).
CAVEAT: If you are running FTP on other servers, make sure that the settings here do not conflict with the settings on the other servers. For example, I'm running FTP on my file server so that my scanners can communicate with it. However, I configure my FTP settings by machine name and NOT "ftp.myschool.org".
================================================
CLIENT SIDE - CONFIGURING iWEB
Now you have to configure iWeb so that it will communicate with your server.
Click on the "Site" icon so that "Site Publishing Settings" appears.
Publishing:
"Publish to:" = "FTP Server"
You can set the "Site name:" and "Contact email:" to whatever you want. But see below!
FTP Server Settings:
"Server address"=ftp.myschool.org (you could also enter in servername.myschool.org or the IP address. However, if you want folks to be able to work on the site from home, you will need to configure external DNS for that. If you use the IP address, you're out of luck for remote access to the site. (You can do it but it's beyond the scope of this discussion.)
"Username" & "Password" should be your user's network login credentials.
"Directory/Path" - this is important. Remember, you set your "FTP Root" to be "/VOLUMES/RAID Array/WebServer/Documents". If you leave this field blank then the website will be dumped into this folder. If you are only setting up one site, that may be OK. However I wanted to set up a "students" site folder, a "faculty" site folder and a separate site for our literary magazine.
THEREFORE: I have, in my ..../Documents folder (on the server), a "students" folder, a "faculty" folder, and a "litmag" folder.
SO...in my "Directory/Path:" field, I have "/faculty". That means the full path to this website is "ftp root/faculty" or "/VOLUMES/RAID Array/WebServer/Documents/faculty" (You don't need a trailing "/" character. iWeb will automatically append the folder for you user depending on what you entered in "Site Name:" in the "Publishing" area.
Website URL:
This is the root website depending on whether it is "students" or "faculty". Since iWeb will append the site name to this root website, I accomplished what I hoped to accomplish in this post (http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12288561#12288561).
Faculty sites will be @ http://faculty.myschool.org/username. Students @ http://students.myschool.org/username. PERFECT!
iWeb is such a GREAT tool - NOW the kids can start using it!
I want to reiterate that this works for our school but it should work for you as well. There may be better ways to do this but it works for us.
Hope this has been helpful and you won't have to spend weeks trying to figure this all out by yourself!

OK...here's how we did it.
To get access to the website you created from outside your network there are a couple of steps.
First, you have to have a STATIC IP address from your ISP. If you have a T1 circuit, no problem...you usually get a couple of static IPs you can use. However, if you have a cable modem circuit, most likely you have a dynamic IP address which changes when you connect to the internet. Usually a static IP will cost a bit more because the ISP has to go through a couple of steps to set it up for you. But once you have the address, you now have a way for folks outside your network to connect with you.
(I’m also assuming that you use a router of some sort through which traffic flows out to the internet and that you aren’t using connection sharing or something like that.)
The next thing you need to do is have your new static IP address associated with the server on which you are hosting your website. You've probably already done that if your website works inside your network. However, you've associated a private ip (192.168.x.x, etc.) to your web server. That doesn't mean anything to folks on the outside because private IP addresses are just that - private - folks can't access them. (I won't get into VPN because that's a whole other topic.)
The way you associate your new static IP address to your web server is through some sort of dns application from your ISP. For example, we use TierraNet to manage our external DNS information. They have a web interface control panel that is very similar to the DNS interface for XServer. You can create CNAME records (aliases - other ways that folks can access your servers).
Basically you create an "A" (CNAME) record with a fully qualified domain name (e.g. webserver.myschool.org) and point it to your public IP address (XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX) which you just got from your ISP. It's going to take a while (24-48 hours) for this change to take effect. BTW, you can create as many “A” records as you want. For example mail.myschool.com and wiki.myschool.com could point to the same place.
You want to make sure that the fully qualified domain name you enter in the external dns utility matches the name you used when you created your internal dns records on your XServer.
OK...so now folks can get to your domain - but, remember, you have a private network IP scheme between them and you. You now have to tell your router that when web traffic arrives, allow it inside the network and direct it to your web server.
Let's say your public IP address is 205.100.112.50 and your web server is 192.168.0.5.
You have to create, in your router’s "Security Zone" (router companies call them different things) a couple of rules. Usually the first rule is: "Let everything inside the network get out to the web." You've probably already done that if folks inside the network can reach the internet.
You then have to tell the router to allow web traffic (port 80) into your network AND redirect that traffic to 192.168.0.5.
We use AdTran routers and they have a web interface which allows you to write "rules" affecting public and private traffic. Public is folks outside the network, private is folks inside.
AdTran calls them "Security Zones" and you modify those zones with policies.
So my "Policy" would say, in the above example, redirect traffic from my public IP (205.100.112.50) -> to my web server -> (192.168.0.5).
THEN you have to modify this policy with what AdTran calls "Traffic Selectors". You've said, OK, you can get in, but WHAT can get in?
The "Traffic Selector" is written to say: "Permit" "TCP" traffic from 205.100.112.50 only through Port 80. (That's the port that web traffic goes over. If you wanted a secure website, you'd add another traffic selector that opens port 443, for example.)
I'll tell you I'm no genius when it comes to this. I called AdTran and had them configure my router for me. I told them what I wanted done, they remoted into the router and configured it. But then I could go to the web interface and see what they did and then added rules later on when I wanted, for example, to get access to the network via Apple Remote Desktop or VPN into the network on my iPad.
I'd bet that your router has a maintenance agreement that includes this service and if it doesn't it should have.
I did find that I still had issues when I tried to set this up originally and it had to do with the ORDER of the policies. I can’t remember exactly what the issue was, but, effectively one of the policies highjacked traffic before the policy that I wanted got triggered. Simply moving them around in the list fixed that issue. So if you have this set up but still can’t access the site, check the order of your rules.
I don’t know if that helps or not, but I try to think about this stuff conceptually and then get someone to help me with the details. I work with this stuff so infrequently that I forgot how I did something 6 months or a year ago. I’m in the process of creating a wiki for the school which documents all this stuff, but that’s a major undertaking.
Cheers,
John

Multiple Websites using iWeb

I currently created one website through iweb. www.michelemcloughlin.com
I now want to create multiple websites for clients, friends etc. Is it possible to do this? I have iLife 08, what would be the best way to do this?
help!!!

Do you think its easier to buy ilife 09 and not need to go through this process of individual folders?
Michele ~ I think it's better to keep sites for different clients and friends each in their own iWeb Domain file — but that's just a personal opinion and others may differ.
Also, I have a mac account, if I were to design another website for a client do they need to buy hosting as well in addition to their domain name?
As above, I think it's better for clients and friends each to have their own hosting and domain name — although it's not necessary. Perhaps it wouldn't be inconvenient for you to have a close friend's site hosted on your MobileMe account. Also, there are some restrictions regarding setting up multiple domain names to a single MobileMe account — read more here:
http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWeb_Domains.html
With iLife 09 is the back up necessary.
Backups are always necessary — your Mac's internal HD could crash at any moment. Do you have a plan for when that happens? ...There are only two types of HD: Those that have crashed and those that haven't — yet:
http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper
http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html
http://www.corecode.at/smartreporter
This back up.. can I copy this domain file and put it on an external hard drive?
Yes.

Website hosted in particular windows server prompting continuous domain authentication

Hi
There are 2 domains A & B .In domain A, there are few websites hosted in 4 windows servers identical in software and hardware configurations ....mean to say in IIS Managers , all the settings are same.I am not aware of IIS technically. but all the settings
visually are the same.
The problem 2 days before happened the Domain B users (except 2 users)are continuously prompted for the domain authentication when they try to access this website through the URL which they always use when the URL hits one particular server out of these
4 windows 2008 R2 servers
The sharepoint site admin cut a ticket to Windows team with the comment : Check this BAD Windows server

Services.exe.
The Logon Type field indicates the kind of logon that was requested. The most common types are 2 (interactive) and 3 (network).
The Process Information fields indicate which account and process on the system requested the logon.
The Network Information fields indicate where a remote logon request originated. Workstation name is not always available and may be left blank in some cases.
The authentication information fields provide detailed information about this specific logon request.
- Transited services indicate which intermediate services have participated in this logon request.
- Package name indicates which sub-protocol was used among the NTLM protocols.
- Key length indicates the length of the generated session key. This will be 0 if no session key was requested.
If the problem existed in this particular server, how those exceptional 2 users are having the access.I agree they are the sharepoint admins...
How and where to check the investigation?

Multiple domains hosted on one OSX Server

Hi guys,
Does anyone know if it is possible to host more than one domain name on OSX server?
A client of mine runs a number of businesses and is considering Snow Leopard Server, and wants to have multiple email domains and websites hosted on one server. Also per-account contacts sync and calendar sync would be useful, does anyone know if that's available?
Thanks!
W.

You can certainly host multiple domains on Mac OS X Server. There are a few options depending on how you want it to work.
If all the usernames are the same across all domains (e.g. [email protected] is the same person as [email protected]) then just change the mail server configuration to match all the domains in the mydestination parameter in /etc/postfix/main.cf.
If the domains are different (e.g. [email protected] is not the same account as [email protected]) then you have two options - one is to use the postfix model (which requires command-line management), the other is to add the email addresses in the shortname section for each user.
You may have some issues integrating contacts and calendars, though - if you take the postfix model then the users won't exist in Open Directory and won't have a calendar/contact link, etc.
If you follow the shortname model then you have one directory with all users in all domains and you'll need to work to separate them out if you need to.

Oracle Portal Virtual Host Enhacement for Multiple Virtual Hosts

I open the TAR Number: 4326752.996
The TAR is related to " REQUEST ASSISTANCE FOR MULTIPLE VIRTUAL HOSTS AND MULTIPLE PAGE GROUPS CONFIG. "
This is the Scenario: We Have Oracle Portal installed in a single Box. yes I know I know... but Not everybody is Yahoo or Google for Clusters and all the good stuff, we just want our website managed by Oracle Portal since all our ERP is running Oracle Database. Anyway. 1 Box running Oracle Portal Infrastructure and MidTier.
It turns out that our previous configuration we have the LAMP Solution with PHP, Apache with Virtual Servers configuration very trivial for a regular web server however we have about 6 Virtual domains.
For example:
www.abc.com
www.def.com
www.ghi.com
www.jkl.com
www.mno.com
www.pqr.com
We also like to post all our Intranet Information in this great Portal:
http://intranet.com
Where intranet.com is the same server but setup in our Internal DNS without be a Real Internet Register Domain.
So bottom line we start doing great with Install our single box install, later [GRRRRRR does not come by default in port 80 GRRRRRR, ok need to move and setup the virtual host to resolve our main External website www.abc.com ]
For starters ok it worked we have our main website running Oracle Portal.
Now is time to go to the step number 2.
Setup another Page Group in Portal to be the Page_Group_INTERNAL.
I figure if Apache can setup Virtual Hosts pointing to Independent parts of the File System without be shared. I was expecting some kind of custom configuration where I can setup httpd.conf to point to some specific PageGroups to make sure
www.abc.com => Page_Group_External
never share information with:
intranet.com => Page_Gorup_Internal
My TAR was very quick closed with the Argument that is not what It supposed to do.
Since a virtual host is a common thing to do on Linux and Apache, I wonder if You guys could list this as one of the default features to have multiple virtual domains assosiated with Page Groups that they never talk or share Resources I think that would be really great.
In the mean time I guess we have no option but to put a password for every internal page or take the risk of share our Information to the Internet. Perhaps designate another box with Oracle Portal but In that case Is not really cost/bennefit to use a killer technology for our external site since we just have no more than 30 pages.
Anyway just figure drop you guys a note any advise will be really appreciated.
Best Regards Dino.

Hi Martin,
1. To change the target URL of KM resources you can to the following:
Access the URL Generation Service Configuration by navigating to:
System Administration -> System Configuration -> Knowledge Management -> Configuration
Content Management -> Global Services -> URL Generator Service
Change the Host property to "portal.company.com".
2. You change the Port by opening the Visual Administrator and going to : Dispatcher -> Services -> HTTP Provider
Change there the "Ports" entry from (Port:50000,Type:http)to (Port:80,Type:http). Then go on "Save".
3. To remove the "/irj" from the portal URL you can create a index.jsp with the following content, and save it in the J2EE Documentation folder:
<Drive>:\usr\sap\<SAPSID>\JC<J2EE_instance_number>\j2ee\cluster\server0\apps\sap.com\com.sap.engine.docs.examples\servlet_jsp\_default\root
<%
//Send the redirect using server redirection (not client script)
//This will also send the HTTP GET parameters
String queryString = request.getQueryString() ;
if (queryString==null ) {
response.sendRedirect
("irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.navigation.portallauncher.default") ;
} else {//redirect with HTTP GET parameters
response.sendRedirect
("irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.navigation.portallauncher.default?" + queryString) ;
%>
Hope this helps,
Robert
