Re: Assigning IP address to HTTP Server

Hi Jack,

Thank you for your reply but I do not see how I can have 2 different HTTP
servers both listening on port 443 without assigning a different IP
address to each ?

So I currently have HTTP Server ZENDPHP7 listening on port 443.

I am migrating the applications to run with Sieden's Community PHP and I
have a new server APP01 that I also want to listen on port 443

I don't see how I can achieve that with virtual servers or am I not
understanding ?

Thanks

Don

you don't need separate ip addresses for separate servers
your server software (e.g., Apache) has the notion of virtual servers
or you can configure the instances on different ports if you wish
it's all in the server configuration

I would like to do some testing internally with different versions of PHP.

Currently the HTTP Server configuration is listening on all IP Addresses
(EG *:443)

If I want to have two servers listening on say 443 they would have to be
assigned different addresses (EG 192.168.1.1:443 and 192.168.1.2:443)

I am presuming that where I have two or more HTTP servers listening on the
same port then all the servers would need to have an IP address assigned
that listen on, in this case port 443 ?

Or what happens if we have two servers set up as

Server #1 *:443
Server #2 192.168.1.1:443

I am thinking the results would be unpredictable ?

Is there a better way to do this for internal access ? (External I could
simply redirect to any port I wanted)

Thanks

Don
