Hosting Multiple Web Servers

You can configure your NetWare 6 server to host multiple Web servers. This

way, a single NetWare 6 server running NetWare Enterprise Web Server can

host all the Web server needs of your company; or, if you are an Internet

Service Provider (ISP), you can host Web sites for your customers. This makes

it easy to allow two or more departments to create their own Web sites without

requiring that they each have a server.

You can host two types of Web servers on your NetWare server:

 Hardware virtual servers

 Software virtual servers

Each type has its strengths and weaknesses; you should choose the one that’s

right for your situation.

For information about setting up hardware virtual servers, see “Setting Up

Hardware Virtual Servers” on page 71. For information about setting up

software virtual servers, see “Setting Up Software Virtual Servers” on page

72.

Accessing Your Web Site

If you have already successfully installed NetWare 6 and the Enterprise Web

Server was included in the list of products to install, you can access it right

now. A sample Web page and some sub-pages have been included. You can

remove these pages and replace them with your own content.

HINT: Before replacing the sample Web site, you might want to look through it first.

It is a good place to start for an introduction to all of the Web-based management

tools included with NetWare 6 and includes links to the actual management tools.

To view the sample Web site, open a client Web browser on a workstation in

your network and enter your NetWare server’s IP address or DNS name. For

example:

http://server_IP_address

http://domain_name
