Multiple Domain names on one liftweb App

[DoomPirate]

Hi,

I apologize if this question is too similar to the last question I asked. It's kind of different.

Can one liftweb app be the framework for multiple lift "websites"? 

I have a bunch of small, low traffic websites that I need to create.

Is it possible to bind the domain name so it isn't on the root of the liftweb app? That way, I could have one liftweb app be the host for multiple "websites"

I will define 2 example websites

• www.bar.com
  
• www.foo.com

So with this code

          Menu.i(main) / "index", 

          Menu.i("Bar") / "bar",

          Menu.i("Foo") / "foo",

  Menu.i("Bar - About Us"l) / "bar" / "about-us",

  Menu.i("Bar - Page 1") / "bar" / "page1",

  Menu.i("Foo - About Us") / "foo" / "about-us",

          Menu.i("Foo - Page 2") / "foo" / "page2",

bar.com has 3 pages

• The root page, bar.com
  
• bar.com/about-us
  
• bar.com/page1

foo.com has 3 pages

• The root page, foo.com
  
• foo.com/about-us
  
• foo.com/page2
  

If this isn't possible, are there any other alternatives for me to efficiently host a bunch of small/low traffic websites?(And not impact input latency for the websites a great amount) I would love to be able to host 20+ small websites on an EC2 microinstance.

Any thoughts or advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

And I am aware of having multiple war/jetty pairs on an instance.

Tbh, I'd do this with nginx or some other reverse proxy. You can do a quick URI rewrite there

and prefix requests to bar.com with /bar, and requests to foo.com with /foo. It's the most straight-

forward way, IMO.

Thanks,

Thanks. I have learned about nginx url rewrites and I have been attempting to use them. It's a little hard for me to grasp, I wish there were more plain english guides. If you or anyone can help me with example server/rewrite/location configuration pseudocode for my example, I would be extremely grateful. I should be able to figure it out, but it will be a little struggle.
Thanks!

I got it working, this configuration worked

server {

        listen 80 default_server;

        root /usr/share/nginx/html;

        index index.html index.htm;

        server_name foo.com localhost;

 location / {

        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/foo/;

    }

}

server {

        listen 80;

        root /usr/share/nginx/html;

        index index.html index.htm;

        server_name bar.com localhost;

         location / {

        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/bar/;

    }

}

Took me 14 hours of struggling to finally get it, haha.

Sorry, this ended up happening during a nasty span when I didn't have much time to

help on the list. Wish I could have saved you some of those hours, but glad you figured

it out!

Thanks,

Antonio
