Setting Up Virtual Hosts On Orion
Written by Joseph Ottinger
Setup multiple domains using a single IP address.
That the client browser is HTTP 1.1 compliant.
The domain names point to the servers single IP address.
This is a very basic example, it does not take into account using shared applications or event the use of .war or .ear files. This is left as an exercise for the reader.
Example Domains: www.example1.com, www.example2.com
Example IP Address: 127.0.0.1
Create directories under $ORION_HOME\applications\ for each domain.
mkdir $ORION_HOME\applications\example1
mkdir $ORION_HOME\applications\example2
Each directory should contain a index.html file.
Contents of $ORION_HOME\applications\example1\index.html:
<html><head><title>www.example1.com</title></head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<h2>www.example1.com</h2>
</body>
</html>
Contents of $ORION_HOME\applications\example2\index.html:
<html><head><title>www.example2.com</title></head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<h2>www.example2.com</h2>
</body>
</html>
Create WEB-INF directories for the domains.
mkdir $ORION_HOME\applications\example1\WEB-INF
mkdir $ORION_HOME\applications\example2\WEB-INF
Each WEB-INF directory should contain a web.xml file.
Contents of $ORION_HOME\applications\example1\WEB-INF\web.xml
<web-app>
<display-name>Example 1</display-name>
<description>
example1
</description>
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
</web-app>
Contents of $ORION_HOME\applications\example2\WEB-INF\web.xml
<web-app>
<display-name>Example 2</display-name>
<description>
example2
</description>
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
</web-app>
Create web-site XML file for each domain.
Contents of $ORION_HOME\config\example1-web-site.xml:
<web-site host="127.0.0.1" port="80" display-name="Example 1" virtual-hosts="www.example1.com">
<!-- The default web-app for this site, bound to the root -->
<default-web-app application="default" name="example1" />
<access-log path="../log/example1-web-access.log" />
</web-site>
Contents of $ORION_HOME\config\example2-web-site.xml:
<web-site host="127.0.0.1" port="80" display-name="Example 2" virtual-hosts="www.example2.com">
<!-- The default web-app for this site, bound to the root -->
<default-web-app application="default" name="example2" />
<access-log path="../log/example2-web-access.log" />
</web-site>
Edit $ORION_HOME\config\application.xml. Add the following lines:
<web-module id="example1" path="../applications/example1" />
<web-module id="example2" path="../applications/example2" />
Edit $ORION_HOME\config\server.xml. Add the following lines:
<web-site path="./example1-web-site.xml" />
<web-site path="./example2-web-site.xml" />
Restart Orion and test.
