How to point domains to folders

Post by waradmin »

I have a server that i manage myself (at my house). I also own 4 domains (open-server.org, myopenspace.net, open-blog.org, and swgalaxies.org). How would i point those domains to different directories on my server.

My server is a Windows 2000 base running Apache2Triad (Apache, MySQL, PHP, Perl, etc). My domains are managed through godaddy. Is it possible to setup a DNS server on your own computer, or are there DNS registration services that allow your domains to point to ip's with a /directoryname after it.

I havent ever fully understood domains and directories. Ive heard of virtual directories in IIS etc but i run Apache on a Windows 2000 Server server (sounds strange saying that).

So any help with advising me on how to point domains to the same server but different directories would be great.

Thanks.

Btw, how hard is it to search this forum if this question has been asked before? The message before you was exactly the same... Even the title suggests it's about what you're looking for.
