IP Referencing Web Site

[SpiderBear6]

How do I reference a web server based on it's ip address? I have set up various web sites on the web server and given each one a different host header value.

I tried

http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:80/hostname

but that doesn't seem to work.

Thanks heaps

Hi mate,

You can't do it.

If you are using name based virtualhosts then you need domain names for each one of the sites.

Otherwise, you need to use IP based virtualhosts, but that requires a different IP for every site.

Hope this helps

Oh... well that explains why it didn't work.

Thanks Wullie.

you can always edit your hosts file to allow YOU to access them.. but you'll beed the domain names set up for the public.
