Ray gave you the mod_rewrite recipes. Using them with contexts you can host multiple websites -- though in some cases you might not want to, for instance, two sites with the same code but different data. There you'd probably use mod_rewrite again, but have two rules point to the same context (adding a GET variable, perhaps, to distinguish the sites). You may or may not want to serve multiple sites off the same AppServer. Contexts aren't insulated from each other -- for instance, I wouldn't advise running a production site and a testing site off the same AppServer. Whether to run two production sites from the same AppServer is up to you, there's no firm rule. Some failures (particularly in C modules) will effect the entire Python interpreter, and hence the entire AppServer, and could mean that problems on one site would take the other site down as well. Contexts are used with all adapters. They don't do much -- they're taken from Java, where the contexts have more functionality (related to configuration, session sharing, and some other stuff). In Webware they are largely indistinguishable from subdirectories.
