Hosting subdomain on separate apache service
Posted: Tue Jul 03, 2007 2:33 am
For testing purposes, I've decided to setup a subdomain to use with new php versions and while working on experimental sites and projects.
I know I could just set a new Apache service to listen to a different port ( dev.mydomain.net:85 for example ), but I'm wondering if there's any way to redirect the subdomain to the alternate apache service without using a separate port. I've seen people using a front-end apache service to request data from servers that the user wouldn't have direct access to. I can't remember what the apache module was called, but it could've been mod_proxy_http and mod_security.
Any bright ideas?
