Do apologize. I wrote the wrong '<'VirtualHost *:80'>' tag, I used a dot instead of colon.
Now after I restart Apache, all the sites goes to Domain1. Even Domain2 is pointing to Domain1's default page.
Please help! Thank you very much!

Hi, thanks very much for getting back. After uncommenting the line, domain1 still pointing to domain2. I also moved this line outside the '<'VirtualHost'>' group.
Any suggestions please?

Can you try to uncomment, ProxyPreserveHost - that can pass required host-header to IIS and then IIS can serve multiple sites.

2010-08-19T18:25:27.657+05:30

Hi Sameer, I did everything you suggested, domain1 is using IIS + PHP 4 + port 8080, domain2 using Apache + PHP5 + port 80. Domain 2 works fine, but whatever I do, domain1 always points to domain2's default doc root. The httpd.conf setting is:

ProxyRequests Off

NameVirtualHost *:80

ServerName domain1
ServerAlias *.domain1
DefaultType text/html

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride none
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

#ProxyPreserveHost On
# sends all requests made to port 80 to another port 8080
ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/
#makes proper changes to server-side redirection header
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/

Also in the windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts, I added:
87.xxx.xxx.xxx www.domain1

Could you please kindly tell me what I did wrong? Thank you!
Regards,
Eddie

@Matt

You can have IIS listen to single IP and multiple port numbers. I have detailed it here: http://www.codecurry.com/2009/02/installing-and-running-iis-and-apache.html

In nutshell, use (depending on your version of Wndows):

netsh
http
add iplisten 0.0.0.0:8080
add iplisten 0.0.0.0:8081

OR

httpcfg set iplisten -i 0.0.0.0:8080
httpcfg set iplisten -i 0.0.0.0:8081
----

You will also have to add multiple VHost entries in Apache - that is implicit since you have multiple domains.

I got it to work once passing it to 192.168.1.103:8080....which is basically what you're suggesting. But, it only loaded the default IIS site. Not the site I wanted. How would I point it to a particular site when using host headers in IIS. In other words, all the sites use the same IP and port, so how do I tell Apache to send the discerning info to IIS?
Thanks!!!

@Matt

Since both Apache and IIS are running on the same server, you should use:

ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/

# Let me know if that works.

2010-08-13T05:02:56.869+05:30

So, I think I have my IIS only listening to requests on port 8080 and Apache is set to listen to port 80. I've confirmed this is working by typing in the IP of the pc and appending the port: 192.168.1.3:8080 resolves to the IIS default site, while 192.168.1.3 resolves to the only other site set up under Apache. So, it appears the ports are set correctly. Here's what my httpd.conf file looks like:

#Add proxy redirect to IIS for iissite.com

ServerName iissite.com
ServerAlias *.iissite.com
DefaultType text/html

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride none
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

# sends all requests made to port 80 to another port 8080
ProxyPass / http://www.iissite.com:8080/
#makes proper changes to server-side redirection header
ProxyPassReverse / http://www.iissite.com:8080/

#Add matttyree.com as virtual host

ServerName apachesite.com
ServerAlias *.apachesite.com
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/apachesite.com/"

The apache site works perfectly. But when I request the iis site, I get a "Service Temporarily Unavailable" error from apache.

What am I missing?

Thanks,
Matt

Francis,

Your IIS is still listening to port 80.

You need to run one of the following command lines for your OS version:

For Win XP use:
httpcfg.exe set iplisten -i 0.0.0.0:8000

For Vista and Windows server 2008 or later:
netsh http add iplisten ipaddress=0.0.0.0:8000

After adding the host entry I'm able get the site accessible. My IIS has default site which is accessible at localhost itself like this http://localhost:8080/ in windows XP. On hitting that it will loads up the site content. But now I’m getting another issue or it might be another question.

I have created a host entry “www.mytestapp.loc” for a new test site and I set the document root as “DocumentRoot "D: /Projects/mytestapp" in the virtual host. Now when I hit the “www.mytestapp.loc” its re-routing to the content of IIS site “http://localhost:8080/” but all I want to load is the content of "D: /Projects/mytestapp" location. Is that possible to do this?

Host Entry: 127.0.0.1 www.mytestapp.loc

Apache Virtual host Entry:

ServerName www.mytestapp.loc
ServerAlias *.mytestapp.loc
DocumentRoot "D:/Projects/mytestapp"

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride none
Order allow,deny

#sends all requests made to port 80 to another port 8080

2010-05-24T12:08:50.417+05:30

Francis, you need to add host entries on windows 'host' file as well. The 'hosts' file is located in windows/system32/drivers/etc folder.

You will need admin rights to edit the file. You can copy the file, then edit it and then paste it back.

I have followed the steps as mentioned above in my Windows XP machine and I'm able to access the IIS Sites like this http://localhost:8080/mysitename/ but while trying to access the other sites which I have a host entry in Apache are getting a message like "We could not find your www.testsite.com". Can you please tell me what went wrong?

Hello, if you are running VMWare, you can use the shared folder feature.

VMWare on Windows will allow you to designate a folder to be shared with your Linux image.

Have Fun!

Well that is a good start for me thanks! What if you are running a vmware server with linux on top of windows and you need to forward your request to windows and "Directory "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot" is not accessible directly as windows is on a different internal ip (bridge) not NAT? Thanks.
