[BlueOnyx:06649] Re: Multiple Sites to IP Address

[Steffan]

What i Always do is create a siteconf in /etc/httpd/conf.d
You can copy a site from /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/sitexx to
/etc/httpd/conf.d/a_first_site.conf
I then change the names in the servername point the web directory to
somewhere on the server say
/home/sites/servername
Create the directory and /web directory, put a standard index.html page say
server xx im alive

Reload httpd and the ip will go to this First site

You could add mail.siteb.com  as a "web server alias" for the www.siteb.com 
site.

I do that with my site and my customer's sites.
E.g.
http://mail.precisionweb.net
