How do I configure Apache2 via webmin or command-line (I'm using RHEL5 Linux) so that I can have multiple domains on the same server on the same port but in different subdirectories?
For instance, trying to get homerentals.ws and homerepair.ws to be detected on port 80 (default port) on the same server. I know that my DNS holds the two addresses and web hits currently go to the same test page. Now all I need is for web hits to go to a subdirectory, but not show this subdirectory. For instance, I do not want people going to http://homerentals.ws and being redirected back to http://homerentals.ws/homerentals/. Instead, http://homerentals.ws would go to /var/www/html/homerentals, while http://homerepair.ws would go to var/www/html/homerepair, but would not look any differently in the URL.
On IIS, I did this once with host-header detection. But I don't know how to do it on RHEL5 Linux via webmin or file editing. I'm stuck.
The feature you're describing is known as virtual hosts. Have a look at Apache's documentation. In general you need to edit /etc/apache2/httpd.conf file to make things happen (maybe it can be edited through webmin, but I'm not familiar with it).
