Hi.
Right now I have 5 domains registered at godaddy. I also added those domains to afraid.org and pointed them to my external IP
Im running xampp on windows 7.
xampp is configured for public access
the problem is that all 5 domains point to the same website which is under c:/xampp/htdocs since they all point to the same IP
the other websites are currently
c:/xampp/htdocs/site2
c:/xampp/htdocs/site3
c:/xampp/htdocs/site4
etc...
So what I need help with is this: How do I make it so that the different domains point to different websites on xampp without using the ugly "forward to URL" option. I need clean urls here.
I was thinking virtual hosts would do it, but all the instructions I can find are about subdomains and not regular domains. Also they are always talking about local access and not public access.
So before I get lost in trial and error could someone please give me a few tips here?
Will virtual hosts work?
Also I have read that many people dont recommend using xampp for public websites. I need this to work for now, but it you would like to tell me a different windows or linux solution Im glad to hear it.
Thanks for reading.
