There are essentially 2 ways to configure the HP Apache-based Web Server to host multiple web sites. Each technique has several variations: 1. Single HP Apache-based Web Server with Virtual Hosts (Recommended) Using this method, one main server is launched which starts a main httpd process and a dynamic number of spare httpd processes. The Server daemon and spares are started using the apachectl script which specifies one configuration file (httpd.conf) and a Process ID file (httpd.pid). The server can be configured to host multiple ‘virtual hosts’. These virtual hosts can be ‘Name Based’ and share a single IP address or ‘IP Based’ where each virtual server requires its own IP address. A virtual server can also use a non-standard port number. Port 80 is the default non-SSL (http) port and Port 443 is the default SSL (https) port.
