SIMPLE QUESTION

I am a new user and have set up my website and everything is working really well.

Now I want to add a second website......How do I do this.

Do I create a seperate directory to htdocs add then add the additional home page....If I do this where do I add the path, and information to route requests from that domain name to the new directory?

Or do I do this a different way ?

Any pointers would be gratefully received.

thank you for your help
Chris

The way my server is set up is i have the main directory (in your case htdocs) empty except for an Index file which forwards them to a certain website if they try to log into my server with out a directory selected in the URL.

But for your question i would just move your website thats in your htdocs folder to another directory. So you would make a new folder in HTDOCS and call it Website1 lets say, then make another folder called Website2. Now When you would want to goto a certain site on ur server you would do:
http://xx.xx.xx.xx/Website1 -or- http://xx.xx.xx.xx/Website2

good point , but there is another way. via a script(perl or php)

Yea I forgot to mention it's a PHP Index file. I made it so if you do something like ?c=Website1 it will forward you to that site, and if you put nothing in the URL it will send you to the 'default' site. I like it since its like the first PHP script I made that actually does something useful.
