Loading ...Lighttpd: How do I use more than two IP address (bind) for virtual hosting?
Virtual hosting is nothing but the provision of Web server hosting services so that a company (or individual) doesn't have to purchase and maintain its own Web server and connections to the Internet.
Lighttpd does support or allows you to bind more than two IP address simultaneously using $SERVER["socket"]..
For example,
IP # 1: 192.168.1.1 domain nixcraft.com
IP # 2: 192.168.1.2 domain theos.in
Open lighttpd.conf file:
# vi /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
First use server.bind and server.port to setup 192.168.1.1 IP
server.port = 80
server.bind = "192.168.1.1"
Now define nixcraft.com virtual host:
$HTTP["host"] == "www.nixcraft.com" {
server.document-root = "/home/lighttpd/nixcraft.com/http"
server.errorlog = "/var/log/lighttpd/nixcraft.com/error.log"
accesslog.filename = "/var/log/lighttpd/nixcraft.com/access.log"
}
Next use $SERVER["socket"] to bind 192.168.1.2:80 for theos.in domain:
$SERVER["socket"] == "192.168.1.2:80" {Save and close config file. Restart the lighttpd:
server.document-root = "/home/lighttpd/theos.in/http"
server.errorlog = "/var/log/lighttpd/theos.in/error.log"
accesslog.filename = "/var/log/lighttpd/theos.in/access.log"
}
# /etc/init.d/lighttpd restart

I’m trying to use lighttpd with virtual hosting and different ssl certs for each host. I have one ip that is external and one virtual ip on the same machine.
I have both of the ips set, but since they are the same server, I always get the same certificate. Adding a host check doesn’t work and when I do that neither site works via ssl.
$SERVER["socket"] == “10.0.0.1:443″ {
$HTTP["host"] =~ “www.woohoo.com” {
ssl.engine = “enable”
ssl.pemfile = var.confdir + “/www. woohoo.com.ext.pem”
ssl.ca-file = var.confdir + “/gd_intermediate.crt”
server.name = var.confdir + “/www.woohoo.com”
}
}
$SERVER["socket"] == “xx.xxx.xxx.xxx:443″ {
$HTTP["host"] =~ “www.woohoo2.com” {
ssl.engine = “enable”
ssl.pemfile = var.confdir + “/www.woohoo2.com.ext.pem”
ssl.ca-file = var.confdir + “/gd_intermediate.crt”
server.name = var.confdir + “/www.woohoo2.com”
}
}
I guess it won’t work with virtual ips. Anyone know about this?
