2 apps on 1 server, each with their own domain name?

MichaelQ

To save on licensing and infrastructure costs, is it possible to have several entirely different AwareIM low-traffic apps on one server and each app use it's own domain name?
eg:
someapp.com
differentapp.com
etc

Thanks
Michael

I think it's possible by playing around with ports in tomcat and more than one login page.
Never done this setup.

Michael, the short answer is.... absolutely....

But, just remember that if you are going to secure the site with SSL then you will need a SANS cert such as this https://www.digicert.com/multi-domain-ssl.htm. This is required for multiple root domains on the same server.
If you just want multiple sub-domains then you will need a wildcard cert.

I run multiple apps in a single EC2 and it is more than fine.

I just have a separate landing page for each app.

Please share... I just read Michael's mind ..🙂

Mark, If I have two domains registered, like www.SiteA.Com and www.SiteB.Com and I have one AWS EC2 running AwareIM, can you tell us how to setup the system (port and Tomcat and EC2) so SiteA.com will run AppA and SiteB.Com will run AppB?

Thank you in advance!

@Support;

Could you please give us guidelines how to run more than one app from single AwareIM server setup from different domains, i.e. www.Domain1. Com (Runs App1) and www.Domain2.Com (Runs App2).

What changes to we need to make to Aware, Tomcat and AWS?
Thanks!

In server.xml in Tomcat/conf

<Host name="www.mydomain1.com" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">
<Alias>mydomain1.com</Alias>
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve" directory="logs"
prefix="myfirstapp_access_log." suffix=".txt"
pattern="%h %l %u %t "%r" %s %b"/>
<Context path="" docBase="mydomain1" debug="0" reloadable="true"/>
</Host>
<Host name="www.mydomain2.com" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">
<Alias>mydomain2.com</Alias>
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve" directory="logs"
prefix="mysecondapp_access_log." suffix=".txt"
pattern="%h %l %u %t "%r" %s %b"/>
<Context path="" docBase="mydomain2" debug="0" reloadable="true"/>
</Host>

Then create a folder for each domain under webapps.

Create a separate landing page for each app and put it in webapps/AwareIM. Make sure each one points to the domain of your app name.

Thanks Mark;
Although I setup my AWS a year ago and don't remember it, So as far as AWS is concerned, isn't AWS is also connected to a domain, or is it the domain that is connected to AWS (IP address)? Which means both domains are connected to the same Static IP address of AWS.

Both domains can point to the same IP.

Tomcat will work it out based on the Host records I posted below
