Multiple Apache instances

[cp2000]

My apologies if this is in the archives...but the search seems to be down.

What are the ramifications of running 2 separate instances of apache on the same server. This assummes that the conf files don't conflict. For instance, one compiled and run in /usr/local/apache and the other in /usr/local/apache2?

As long as each apache is bound to a unique IPORT combination you are fine.

I personally run 3 apaches on my webserver. One for modperl, one has a reverse proxy/static content server and one for virtual hosting.

hi, came here to post a question just like this, but a little different.

How can I install apache on 2 different computers that's networked with just a crossover cable. No routers or anything. I installed it and everything as normal, but the ip address I dont' get. I go ipconfig, and I only get one ip address which I use on my other computer. How do I get an ip that works on the 2nd computer so that outside users can access it.

Thanks

on the second computer assign it a static ip address.

On the first computer assign it a static IP address.

Connect the crossover cable, they may be able to see each other now.

hmm, can you elaborate on that a little please. Assign what as static, and how would I do that? I can google it, so need to go into the details, just the overview of it.

Thanks for the quick reply

Since you are using ipconfig I assume both machines are windows

ControlPanels->Network->TCPIP settings

select assign ip address, use a netmask of 255.255.255.0 and give one machine 10.0.0.1 and the other 10.0.0.2.
