Re: Assigning IP address to HTTP Server

I never use * for IP address. You can easily set up one specifically for
each server as mentioned before.

You can specify more than one IP in an HTTP config as well as multiple
ports.

Hey Don,

As I said, if you have time, you will have to dig in with this:

https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/http-server-i

The Apache Server configuration for a virtual server needs previous
knowledge of Apache, not necessarily expert level, but reading a bit and
following related links, you can find your way out. You have to know where
the Apache's config file is in your IFS and add the <VirtualHost> entries
that you need. An additional information source could also help a bit more
with this link:

https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/es/vhosts/examples.html

The above gives you a simple example:

# Ensure that Apache listens on port 80
Listen 80
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/www/example1"
ServerName www.example.com

# Other directives here
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/www/example2"
ServerName www.example.org

# Other directives here
</VirtualHost>

Dig in a bit more and you'll get it. It's not that hard.

If not, then you "can" always assign a new IP address to your network
interface.

Try it out! You can!

Don, what Jack is saying is that "you do not need to assign a different

IP

address" to your IBMi for your tests. You "can" do it. You can

administer

the new IP Address with the CFGTCP command and then follow what you need

to

do. It's a simple thing to do.

But the essence is, you could configure a virtual server in the Apache
server's configuration file. If you do not know how to do that, you can

do

the above, yes, assign a different IP address to your network card's
resource. If you have time, the latter is recommended. Choose your

flavor.

HTH.

JS

You can do either one.

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
