Running a few websites / domains off one NAS server
Hi Guys,
Got one problem I can't resolve myself.
I have PRO 6 (legacy) running OS 6.6. I managed to put my website on it with no problems whatsoever.
It resolves by name, works fine, and if i want to view the Netgera frontview, I just go there by IP/admin.
Everything is fine, except that I have 2 domains registered, both pointing to my server IP (public IP),
and I need to run them both from my NAS.
Well, I read this: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Community-Add-ons/HOW-TO-Hosting-multiple-websites/td-p/696881/page/6
but this solution is not working for me - there is no 'virtual.conf' file on my system. That informations are 4 years old, I suppose Apache changed since then.
My system has version Apache of 2.2 ...
I found some tutorials for multidomain hosting for Apache 2, and I certainly can follow, but since all of this is written for 'regular' linux servers, I'm affraid about frontview access after I change Apache files..
Can anyone point me to the right direction ?
How to host 2 (or more) domains on one NAS and not to loose the frontview ?

Hi Stan78,
I have tried researching but I cannot seem to find anything pertaining to ReadyNAS. A few searches show me that in order to have would involve virtual hosting. I will try to check this further and see if I come up with something that may help you.

Halo, and thank you for the replay..:)
By this time, I managed to do this, so now, I have OS 6.6 running 2 websites in the same time :)
The trick was to create virtual.conf file in /etc/apache2/conf.d ,containing:
NameVirtualHost *:80
NameVirtualHost *:443The second entry (443) is required to have ssl connection possible to NAS. Without this, even webgui reports errors over https.
Then (something new to Apache2) I put configuration of each website, to the separate folder, in /etc/apache2/sites-available. The folder must be in format www.yourdomain.com.conf.
Then I run a2ensite www.yourdomain.com.conf
This created a symlink to this folder in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled
Then do the same for the second domain.
After that, service Apache2 reload, and... it works :)
The one difference is that now, the webgui is avaliable on x.x.x.x/admin
I used this as a guideline:
https://debian-administration.org/article/412/Hosting_multiple_websites_with_Apache2
Just remember - the virtual.conf has to be a bit different in our case:)
Now I'm strugling with WordPress instalation...(mysql,php, and so on)
Hi Stan78,
What kind of issue are you experiencing with the installation?
Also, where are you getting the installers?
