    <p>As the term <cite>IP-based</cite> indicates, the server
 | 
						|
    <strong>must have a different IP address for each IP-based
 | 
						|
    virtual host</strong>. This can be achieved by the machine
 | 
						|
    having several physical network connections, or by use of
 | 
						|
    virtual interfaces which are supported by most modern operating
 | 
						|
    systems (see system documentation for details, these are
 | 
						|
    frequently called "ip aliases", and the "ifconfig" command is
 | 
						|
    most commonly used to set them up).</p>

<h2><a name="howto" id="howto">How to set up Apache</a></h2>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <p>There are two ways of configuring apache to support multiple
 | 
						|
    hosts. Either by running a separate <code class="program"><a href="../programs/httpd.html">httpd</a></code> daemon for
 | 
						|
    each hostname, or by running a single daemon which supports all the
 | 
						|
    virtual hosts.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <p>Use multiple daemons when:</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <ul>
 | 
						|
      <li>There are security partitioning issues, such as company1
 | 
						|
      does not want anyone at company2 to be able to read their
 | 
						|
      data except via the web. In this case you would need two
 | 
						|
      daemons, each running with different <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#user">User</a></code>, <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#group">Group</a></code>, <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#listen">Listen</a></code>, and <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#serverroot">ServerRoot</a></code> settings.</li>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      <li>You can afford the memory and file descriptor
 | 
						|
      requirements of listening to every IP alias on the
 | 
						|
      machine. It's only possible to <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#listen">Listen</a></code> to the "wildcard"
 | 
						|
      address, or to specific addresses. So if you have a need to
 | 
						|
      listen to a specific address for whatever reason, then you
 | 
						|
      will need to listen to all specific addresses. (Although one
 | 
						|
      <code class="program"><a href="../programs/httpd.html">httpd</a></code> could listen to N-1 of the addresses, and another could
 | 
						|
      listen to the remaining address.)</li>
 | 
						|
    </ul>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <p>Use a single daemon when:</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <ul>
 | 
						|
      <li>Sharing of the httpd configuration between virtual hosts
 | 
						|
      is acceptable.</li>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      <li>The machine services a large number of requests, and so
 | 
						|
      the performance loss in running separate daemons may be
 | 
						|
      significant.</li>
 | 
						|
    </ul>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

<div class="section">
 | 
						|
<h2><a name="multiple" id="multiple">Setting up multiple daemons</a></h2>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <p>Create a separate <code class="program"><a href="../programs/httpd.html">httpd</a></code> installation for each
 | 
						|
    virtual host. For each installation, use the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#listen">Listen</a></code> directive in the
 | 
						|
    configuration file to select which IP address (or virtual host)
 | 
						|
    that daemon services. e.g.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <div class="example"><p><code>
 | 
						|
    Listen www.smallco.com:80
 | 
						|
    </code></p></div>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <p>It is recommended that you use an IP address instead of a
 | 
						|
    hostname (see <a href="../dns-caveats.html">DNS caveats</a>).</p>

<h2><a name="single" id="single">Setting up a single daemon

 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <p>For this case, a single <code class="program"><a href="../programs/httpd.html">httpd</a></code> will service
 | 
						|
    requests for the main server and all the virtual hosts. The <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#virtualhost">VirtualHost</a></code> directive
 | 
						|
    in the configuration file is used to set the values of <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#serveradmin">ServerAdmin</a></code>, <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#servername">ServerName</a></code>, <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#documentroot">DocumentRoot</a></code>, <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#errorlog">ErrorLog</a></code> and <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_log_config.html#transferlog">TransferLog</a></code>
 |

    or <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_log_config.html#customlog">CustomLog</a></code>
 | 
						|
    configuration directives to different values for each virtual
 | 
						|
    host. e.g.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <div class="example"><p><code>
 | 
						|
    <VirtualHost 172.20.30.40:80><br />
 |

    ServerAdmin webmaster@mail.smallco.com<br />
 | 
						|
    DocumentRoot /groups/smallco/www<br />
 | 
						|
    ServerName www.smallco.com<br />
 | 
						|
    ErrorLog /groups/smallco/logs/error_log<br />
 | 
						|
    TransferLog /groups/smallco/logs/access_log<br />
 | 
						|
    </VirtualHost><br />
 | 
						|
    <br />
 | 
						|
    <VirtualHost 172.20.30.50:80><br />
 | 
						|
    ServerAdmin webmaster@mail.baygroup.org<br />

    ErrorLog /groups/baygroup/logs/error_log<br />
 | 
						|
    TransferLog /groups/baygroup/logs/access_log<br />
 | 
						|
    </VirtualHost>
 | 
						|
    </code></p></div>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <p>It is recommended that you use an IP address instead of a
 | 
						|
    hostname in the <VirtualHost> directive
 | 
						|
    (see <a href="../dns-caveats.html">DNS caveats</a>).</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <p>Almost <strong>any</strong> configuration directive can be
 | 
						|
    put in the VirtualHost directive, with the exception of
 | 
						|
    directives that control process creation and a few other
 | 
						|
    directives. To find out if a directive can be used in the
 | 
						|
    VirtualHost directive, check the <a href="../mod/directive-dict.html#Context">Context</a> using the
 | 
						|
    <a href="../mod/directives.html">directive index</a>.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <p><code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_suexec.html#suexecusergroup">SuexecUserGroup</a></code>
 | 
						|
    may be used inside a
 | 
						|
    VirtualHost directive if the <a href="../suexec.html">suEXEC
 | 
						|
    wrapper</a> is used.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <p><em>SECURITY:</em> When specifying where to write log files,
 | 
						|
    be aware of some security risks which are present if anyone
 | 
						|
    other than the user that starts Apache has write access to the
 | 
						|
    directory where they are written. See the <a href="../misc/security_tips.html">security tips</a> document
 | 
						|
    for details.</p>
