Multiple sites on one host

Hi all,

I've build a web-application for the automation of a part of a factory enviroment. Now I have been asked to build a web-application that concerns another part of the factory. I've used mojo for the first application and I would like to use it for the second application. The customer has no DNS server installed in the factory environment.

So, I access mojoportal using localhost on the server. I gave the host of webapplication the name of the server e.g. Server2003. I can access mojo on the server using localhost and I can access the application using http:\\Server2003\MyApplication anywhere in the factory network.

I would like to define the new application under mojo. The problem is I have to assign it to another site. That's difficult without a proper DNS host. Would it not be better not to have to specify the site. Is there a way to do this?

Or is there another neat solution to this problem (without defining a second mojoportal app)?

Re: Multiple sites on one host

I can't really think of an elegant solution. Under those circumstances I would go with a second instance of mojoportal with a separate db.

If you only have a few client computers you could edit the host file on each client to map more than one host name to the server.

Re: Multiple sites on one host

Hi Joe,

In recent releases the wb.config suggest the possibility to host multiple sites in 1 mojo directory / installation.

Does this change the answer you gave on my firts mail. And if so, what should I do to achieve it.

Regards,

Re: Multiple sites on one host

Hosting multiple sites in one installation works but requires a different host name for each site. Without a DNS server to define host names you would have to edit the hosts file on all machines that will access the sites.

The web.config setting is there to disable this feature entirely in situations where you don't want this.
