Title: Running two instances of Orion on the same IP and port

I'm not sure that its possible

 

I would suggest doing the following

 

- run 2 instance of orion

- run the 'development' instance on port 8080

- run the 'internal network' instance on port 80

 

Why do you want to run both instances on the same port?

 

AFAIK each port can have a maximum of one webserver using it. This isnt an orion restriction but a general webserver restriction.

Orioners,

Has anyone ever tried to run two instances of Orion on the same machine, IP and port.  What I am trying to do is have a second instance of Orion listen to only certain virtual hosts (headers) and the first pick up any unknown or blank headers.

The reason for us doing it this way is to have a test installation of Orion that will be restarted often and a second 'stable 'installation that will run some ancillary sites for our internal network.

I know that binding a second IP to the box and having the second Orion listen on that IP would probably work.  Is there an obvious reason that the way I am attempting always gives me an "Error starting HTTP server: Address already in use" error on the second instance?

thanx,

Larry
