Thread Multiple Content Folders For Web Server?
Mon, Apr 10 2017 10:55 PMPermanent Link

I have 3 applications which I wish to keep in separate folders.

The web server has only one content folder field. How do I get the web server to point to all 3 folders at the same time?

Do I start the web server 3 times?

The three folders should be subfolders of the content folder the web server is pointing to.  

http://mydomain.com/subfolder01/application01.html
http://mydomain.com/subfolder02/application02.html

Or, just copy it all into the same folder, making sure they are called different names. You could have a simple index.html that links to the applications, or if you are using an alternative server, you could have the server discriminate on the request server name to feed the right files.

I hope that I will at some point soon have a front end tool that might be handy for this sort of thing, but don't want to say until it is available.

If the content folders don't share the same direct root, or you want the content folders to be completely separate, then yes, you would need to isolate them by their root folder, which in this case is simply the content folder.  If you don't care, then you can just set the content folder to the shared root of all three.

This will be changing in 2.07, which will support virtual hosts, each with their own settings.

I think I would have to keep separate folders for each application because of the configuration file that is unique to each application.

Looking forward to this.
