Re: multiple httpd servers

Very true. I likely misunderstood his question when I responded. Just to clarify: You cannot run separate instances of Apache on the same IP and the same port. That is, www.company1.com and www.company2.com cannot each run on their own unique installation of Apache on the same IP and the same port. Sorry if my earlier email was confusing. http://www.Apache.org/httpd/ is the best webserver resource around. -r3- ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert V.
