Preview in Browser, One Server, Multiple Domains

I work for a company that provides both web design and hosting services. All of our clients' sites are in sub directories of our /web/ directory on the server but their web addresses are set up as subdomains (clientname.mycompany.com). How can I make "Preview in Browser" work with this setup?
Right now, it tries to take me to the Web URL that I have set in "Servers" in DW, followed by the internal server path of the file.
What I need, is to have "Preview in Browser" open up something like;
clientname.mycompany.com:port
instead of;
dw_web_url/serverpath/file.php
Is that possible?
Also, is it possible to "Preview in Browser" while working on a CSS file? For example, if I am working on /root/css/style.css and I press F12, Firefox would open up clientname.mycompany.com:port/index.php instead of dw_web_url/root/css/style.css

Also, is it possible to "Preview in Browser" while working on a CSS file? For example, if I am working on /root/css/style.css and I press F12, Firefox would open up clientname.mycompany.com:port/index.php instead of dw_web_url/root/css/style.css
I'm puzzled by what you expect this would show? A CSS file has no display.
I have no sense for how to make your first issue work. Sorry.

How to use the Load Balancer Plug-in to serve multiple domains

In SJSAS8.1 SE/EE the asadmin commands that create and maintain a load balancer configuration operate within a domain. When the load balancer configuration is exported an xml file is created that contains all the information for that domain. To make the load balancer plug-in balance the load for multiple domains, the loadbalancer.xml files can be manually merged to conatin the data that is exported from each domain's load balancer configuration.
For example, 2 domains are created, both having a load balancing configuration. After exporting both configurations using the asadmin export-http-lb-config command, the user would then cut and past the cluster information into the single loadbalancer.xml file that resides under the web server's config directory.
An example of the manually merged loadbalancer.xml file follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<loadbalancer>
<cluster name="domain1">
<instance disable-timeout-in-minutes="30" enabled="true" listeners="http://localhost:1026 https://localhost:38181" name="i1"/>
<instance disable-timeout-in-minutes="30" enabled="true" listeners="http://localhost:1027 https://localhost:38182" name="i2"/>

Serving MULTIPLE Domain Names on 1 Web Server

How can I host DIFFERENT domain names on the same OSX Tiger Server? I've looked everywhere, but I can't seem to figure it out. My Web server is currently hosting one domain name just fine.
DNS INFO:
The new Domain Names are already purchased & registered, and my ISP is taking care of DNS, pointing all of the domain names to my Tiger web server.
IN SERVER ADMIN >> WEB Services > Settings Button > Sites Tab, I've configured the Domain Names as follows:
Domain Name = domainnamehere.com
Port = 80
IP Address = Any
Web Folder =
/Library/WebServer/Documents/domainnamefolder1/HTML here
/Library/WebServer/Documents/domainnamefolder2/HTML here
/Library/WebServer/Documents/domainnamefolder3/HTML here
Default index files = index.html
The Enable box is checked
PROBLEM:
When I go to any of the new domain names they all open up the MAIN website NOT their own individual web page.
QUESTION:
What am I doing wrong? What do I need to do to host DIFFERENT Domain Names PUBLICLY on the same OSX Tiger Server? I've seen information on setting up "Virtual Hosts" for local web development, but I can't seem to figure out how to host DIFFERENT Domain Names PUBLICLY on the same OSX Tiger Server.
Thanks for your help!
Computerpros

The description of you setup sounds wrong.
You should have multiple Sites configured, one per hostname you're trying to run, like:
Domain1:
Domain Name = domain1.com
Port = 80
IP Address = Any
Web Folder = /Library/WebServer/Documents/domainnamefolder1
Domain1:
Domain Name = domain2.com
Port = 80
IP Address = Any
Web Folder = /Library/WebServer/Documents/domainnamefolder2
Domain1:
Domain Name = domain3.com
Port = 80
IP Address = Any
Web Folder = /Library/WebServer/Documents/domainnamefolder3

Check out the "Supporting Multiple Clients" bit here: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/networking/sockets/clientServer.html
Start a Thread for each client. I'd recommend you create a class:
class Client
    Socket socket;
    ObjectOutputStream out;
    ObjectInputStream in;
    ...any other client-specific data you need...
    public void sendMessage(String s) { ...send to this client...; }
   ...any other client-specific methods you need...;
}Create one of those when accept() gets a new connection, then start the thread for that client.
You may want to keep a LinkedList that contains all the Client objects. E.g. if you want to send a message to all clients you'd loop over the LinkedList and send to each in turn. Synchronize the list appropriately. Removing clients from the list when they close down can be interesting :-) so be careful.

One WLAN, multiple domains

We have designed our network so that each site (22 sites with a total of 90+ aps)has its own wifi vlan. That means each has a unique DHCP scope.
Do we have to create 22 different wlans (which we know we can only do 16/wlc)? Obviously we would want to create one wlan that can pass through 22 different domains. Any suggestions?

Hi,
The solution is to use the 'AP-Groups Vlan' feature (assuming you have an LWAPP infrastructure). The feature is also called 'site-specific vlans'. The purpose is to allow creation of a single WLAN and then bind it to multiple dynamic interfaces (i.e. vlans).
The following URL covers the feature and provides a sample configuration:

One Server multiple Subnets

Hello All,
I want to configure a single print servers for multiple subnets envorinment, i.e I have 10.0.0.0 network then I have 192.168.1.0 and some more subnets and networks .Can I have a single print server for all my users,If yes how can I achive this?
Thanks in advance.

divyendu_bhatt, you can use a router with teh layer 2 switch for vlans. For that you need to create Switched Virtual Interfaces (SVI). Use google to understand SVI and use of inline router...

Multiple Certs for multiple domains on one server

Is it possible with WLS6 and WLCS3.5 to serve up multiple domains with their own certificates?
i.e. https://www.foo.com and https://www.bar.com on the same box.

Hi,
for one WebLogic Server you can only specify one certificate. So to achieve
this you will have
to use different WLS instances for your domains - which is possible on the
same box.
Kind Regards

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.

How do I host multiple domains on a single Messaging Server?

How do I host multiple domains on a single Messaging Server?
<p>
To host multiple domains on one Messaging Server, use the
mailAlternateAddress attribute. If you want to host two domains
(customer1.com and customer2.com) on your server mail1.domain.com,
make sure that:
The various domains (in DNS) point to the installed mail server
(you must have the MX records that
points mail for customer1.com to mail1.domain.com and
customer2.com to mail1.domain.com)
That each person receiving mail at customer1.com and
customer2.com has an appropriate mailAlternateAddress
attribute describing the appropriate email address. For
instance, John Doe can have an email address (i.e. the value
of the 'mail' attribute for the John Doe LDAP entry) of
[email protected] and receive his mail on
[email protected] (the value of the mailAlternateAddress
attribute)
With Messaging Server 3.5, mailAlternateAddress can take the
form of @mail1.domain.com. If jdoe's mailAlternateAddress is
set to @mail1.domain.com, mail sent to [email protected]
will be delivered to [email protected]

So what exactly am I doing with virtual hosts? There is a place for Aliases... What would I put in the "Aliases" box?
Any other host name that you want to resolve to the specified virtual host. It's quite literally an alias.
if you want www.example.com and www.example.org to end up at the same web site and you already have a virtual host — Apple refers to virtual hosts as sites — configured for www.example.com in Server.app, then you'd add www.example.org as an alias for the www.example.com virtual host (site).
Virtual hosts are implemented in a web server using some details of the HTTP or HTTPS protocol, and what the web browser (client) specified. The client gets handed an IP address or a domain name by the user, and the client then fetches the associated IP address for the target web server from the client's DNS services or local host database, and the client then connects to the IP address and passes over the text string that the user had requested — the IP address or domain name or even some local shortcut set up in the client system — via the HTTP or HTTPS protocol. The web server receives and processes this arriving text string from the client, and uses it to select which web site to render back to the web client. One subtle detail lurks here, too: the server's own DNS configuration really isn't involved in the selection of the virtual host.

When previewed in browser or on the server the path of my web site repeats folders. However the "href" in the html code does not show the repetition in the path.

If someone could help me on this one, this would be great. I am creating a web site that has several departments. I have categorized and saved each department in a main folder called "departments" and a subfolder for each one. In the Dreamweaver code view the pop-up menu links seem to show up properly, but when I preview in browser or upload to server "page not found" comes up because for some reason the address changes. Some parts of the address seem to be appearing twice, sometimes the entire path will appear twice as shown below:
http://www.graphicmechanic.com/DEKALBCOUNTY/departments/parks-and-recreation/departments/p arks-and-recreation/pr-arabiamtn-map.html
that is incorrect and it takes me to "web page cannot be found".
It is obviously repeating the folders (hence the "departments/parks-and-recreation" twice. The correct link is:
http://www.graphicmechanic.com/DEKALBCOUNTY/departments/parks-and-recreation/pr-arabiamtn- map.html
The link issues are happening in the pop-up menu. For example if you go to http://www.graphicmechanic.com/DEKALBCOUNTY/departments/parks-and-recreation/pr-arabiamtn. html and rollover the link called "Arabia Mountain" in the links to the left side of the page, then click the pop-up menu link entitled "Arabia Mountain Map" that's where the problem occurs.
Can anyone tell me how I can fix this problem. I don't know what I should do with the code since it already appears correct in html view.
Please help if you can...
Thanks in advance for any possible help you can provide...

The link issues are happening in the pop-up menu.
This problem usually happens when the menu is either a server-side include or a library item using links relative to the document. When you reference a page at a different level of the folder hierarchy, the document-relative links no longer point to the correct destination.
Change the links in the menu to be relative to the site root.
A document-relative link usually looks like this:
<a href="../products/index.html">Products</a>
A link relative to the site root begins with a forward slash like this:
<a href="/products/index.html">Products</a>

Multiple users logged into one server, each users printer has a different name, application needs ONE name to print to.

Multiple users logged into one server, each users printer has a different name, application needs ONE name to print to.
I'm NOT in any way a Terminal Services expert and I need help trying to get an application program working in a multi-user environment.
The issue is that the printer changes for every user that is logged in. The application needs to print NOT to the default printer, but to a "special" printer which is selected in the application... let's call it a label printer to simplify the explanation.
You have your default regular printer, easy for the application to find that one, and then you have a special printer that labels get printed onto. The application needs to know what printer is the label printer. So we allow the user to select that in the
application and the selection is stored in a config file in
C:\ProgramData\mfgr\prog\setting files
I don't have access to the application so I can't change how this works.
In the "regular" world, selecting the label printer driver to use should be per machine, NOT per user. When a new user logs into a machine, the physical printer doesn't go "poof" and a new printer suddenly appear. Same printer for all
users.
Yet in terminal services, the physical machine is "merged" with the virtual machine on the server. And there can be many users logged in at the same time. So each users real machine (and real printer) is injected into the "fake" terminal
services machine. The name of the printers is made unique for each user. So the printers DO go "poof" and change names depending on the user logged into terminal services.
So user "A" logs in and sets up the application to print to "LabelPrinterForUserA" (or whatever the name of the printer happens to be), that setting is stored in the ProgramData subfolder, and all is well. Later, user "B" logs
in, and when they print, the application tries to print to "LabelPrinterForUserA" which doesn't exist for user B or is only accessible by user A. If user B re-configures, that breaks it for user A.
SOLUTION 1: The way that /should/ work (in my mind) is that you define one "generic" printer in Terminal Services... call it "Virtual Label printer" and when the user wants to print to it, the print job gets re-directed back to whatever
physical printer is actually connected to their local workstation. There is a map of virtual printer to actual printer depending on the current user. The application is told once to print to "Virtual Label Printer" for all users.
SOLUTION 2: Or... there should be some way to make the ProgramData sub folders separate per user. E.g. when user "A" tries to access:
C:\ProgramData\mfgr\prog\setting files
they actually get
C:\UserData\UserA\AppData\mfgr\prog\setting files
and user "B" gets
C:\UserData\UserB\AppData\mfgr\prog\setting files
So the question I have is: Does either of those solutions exist hidden somewhere in the setup of terminal server? Or is there another way around this issue that I don't know?

I don't really have a "for sure" answer to this, but because people here can't seem to deal with a question that hasn't been answered I'll provide the best answer I did receive from ServerFault.com user Nathan:
I can feel your pain with using old software on terminal servers ...the solution I've come up with definitely won't scale as it requires some manual configuration, but I've gotten this method to work with our label printers (which require to be
printed to an LPT port...yep, that old).
Share your USB-connected printers to the network on each machine. Then, have the user log in on aunique session for each of them
(a TS account cannot be shared among computers for this to work) and install a network printer pointing to the USB one they shared. Try to use a DNS name to account for possible DHCP movements.
After, it should work. Each user can do this since display names can be identical as long as the ports are different (which they are).
This was clarified by the following series of comments:
I think you are on to something here, and I originally advised the admin to do this. The problem he ran into is that it setup the printer names in the TS as "printer on usersworkstation"
and he could not rename it except to change the "printer" to whatever. E.g. the "on userworkstation" remained. I believe there is another way of installing the printer which avoids this, but I can't find it. Ages ago, one used to do NET
USE LPT2 \\computer\printer password /USER:domain\user /PERSISTENT:YES and then tell the driver to print to LPT2 –  James
Newton Mar

@JamesNewton That's actually the exact method we used. The way around the "network printer" part is to install it as local printer and map it to a TCP/IP port that way. –  Nathan
C Mar
17 at 16:28
You mean in the case where the printers are TCP/IP connected and not local USB / LPT to the users workstation? That makes sense. Wonder if this will work for USB connected printers... –  James
NewtonMar
17 at 16:35
@JamesNewton You'd share the local printer on the client's PC then on the server connect via TCP/IP to it. You'd need static addresses or use DNS names if DHCP, though. –  Nathan
C Mar
17 at 16:51
Ah. Yes. I see. Looks like the LPT thing should work even with a USB connected printer:superuser.com/questions/182655/… –  James

Multiple instances of ECM 11g on one server

I've read a few posts about installing multiple instances of ECM 11g on one server, but I have a few questions. My current set up is
A single Windows 2008 Server R2 server
8 gb RAM
Weblogic 10.3.5
1 install of ECM 11g in the base_domain
Database is Oracle 11.2
I want to add another instance of ECM to this server, but when I went to run the RCU, I was not allowed to use the same prefix for my tablespaces. Is this expected? I'm fine with using a different prefix, I just was surprised to see that I couldn't use the same prefix on this install since I was using a completely different database.
Assuming I use a different prefix... do I just add a new domain for this additional ECM instance? Is there anything else I need to know?
Thank you

I went to run the RCU, I was not allowed to use the same prefix for my tablespaces. Is this expected?Yes. It will create tables with the same name visible for a different database user (thus, the prefix).
do I just add a new domain for this additional ECM instance? Is there anything else I need to know?Actually, I think you can even install more instances to the same domain (this is more a question to Weblogic Server admins - I think there's been some posts recently on this topic). What definitely must be unique, is the port number. If you are OK with using different port numbers for your instances, it should be relatively easy. If you need the same port (e.g. 80 because of proxy limits), there are some ways how to redirect - it that case, two domains might be required.

Multiple websites on one server

I've been trying to create multiple (two) websites on one server, with little luck. One sight works fine. I've tried creating a DNS entry for the new one, but I'm not sure what to set the IP to. I've tried many configurations of IP/hostname but nothing seems to work. Occasionally, the logs just disappear from the logs window.
I've read on here that it's possible to run multiple sites off of one IP, so I feel like that is not the problem. Ideally, I'd like to have one of the sites not exist in the System/WebServer folder. If I place the site folder outside of that folder, do I have to add its folder as a share point and/or modify its permissions?
Server version is 10.6.3

I'm going to distinguish the web browser (client), the web server, and the DNS server here, and will treat these as running on three separate computers. You might have one or more of those co-located on one box, adjust these references to your configuration as necessary.
The DNS translations are applicable only on the client; on the host box that is running with the web browser. The web server doesn't care about the DNS translation. The client needs the DNS to get the IP address of the web server, and it's off to the races from there.
Again, DNS translations are not relevant the web server. The particular web server that gets selected (Apache Virtual Host, what Apple calls a "Site") based on some information that is passed within the http (don't start working with https quite yet) connection from the web browser into the web server.
As for your DNS question, you'll probably want a CNAME (alias) entered in DNS database for the virtual hosts, even if you're awash with IP addresses. That alias must then match the name of the web server "Site". For testing, you can enter what amounts to CNAMES into /etc/hosts on the client, depending on your local set-up and your DNS server.
By default, the connections to all virtual hosts are via port 80. Stay there for now.
The web server selections are sensitive to the order of the "Sites" in the listing in Server Admin, too; you'll want the wildcard site (if you have that) at the end of the list.
Here are some of the basics: [Apache Tips: One Web Server, Multiple Distinct Web Sites|http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/1282]. Comments on that are welcome.

Multiple domains and multiple IPs in the same MacMini Server

I am sure that this topic has been faced already but I cannot find enough information to really dig into a solution.
I have a macmini server with two IPs let say x.x.x.12 and x.x.x.13 .
The server is set up on the first IP. It has his primary zone, machine record, mail aslias and www alias.
Lets call the server domain server.domain1.com
Everything works fine I have a couple of local users and a couple of LDAP users. Just to test the machine setup.
I can send and receive emails using any of the users as [email protected]
Now I would like to have another domain, domain2.com in the same server .
The final goal is to have users under different domains. They have their own email box, calendar, etc.
It will be preferable that I can share the same username with different domains. But I can live without that option.
My first test was to have the second domain called server.domain2.com using the second IP. x.x.x.13 .
For that I created another Primary Zone with domain2.com as machine record of x.x.x.13 . To use the second IP I simply create another Ethernet interface on the macmini.
In the Mail -> Advance settings I added the host aliases as well as virtual hosting domains for domains2.com.
With this setting I can send emails as [email protected] or [email protected] but when I replay to their messages I get a "Relay access denied" error from server.domain1.com .
I also tryed another domain pointing to x.x.x.12, the same as server.domain1.com . I did not create any extra Primary Zone but the local host aliases and the virtual hosting domains.
Same issue. I can send but I get a "Relay access " error.
As you might notice I am a novice on servers settings. I just try to recreate a similar environment common to Virtual Hosting providers for my own website playground but I cannot cut through this email configuration obstacle.
Any significant meaning that can be leading me to learn how to do it will be very very appreciated . (beside lynda,com tutorials that I followed already but do not mention multiple domains for mails).
Thanks

the problem I try to solve is to manage multiple domains in one MacMini Server.
Having two IPs is secondary.
I would like that each domains has his own users with emails, iCals, Wiki and web sites.
The main problem is having emails to work for any additional domain beside the default one on the machine IP.
I also got an additional IP address to be used on the same server hoping that it make things easier but apparently is making things more difficult.

Windows Server - Run multiple domains under different accounts

Hi,
I have multiple domains on a Windows Server. I'd like to run these under separate accounts for security reasons.
My options I have so far:
1) Install all Admin servers and managed servers as windows services and set logon appropriately
2) If possible, use multiple node manager instances, one for each domain and set the log on for each node manager windows service
I like the idea of multiple node managers but I can't find any reference in the documentation about this. I'd rather not use option 1 as I won't be able to restart servers from the WebLogic Console
Has anyone had to do this before?

First option might be the cleanest .
For second option make sure that there are separate Node_Manager home directory for different node manager instances.
