To run several sites with one Magnolia instance (author and public) you can use Apache with mod_jk. Here is what you have to do:
1. Give every site a separate content tree. I.e., create a top-level item in the "Websites" panel for each site you wish to create.
- /site1.html
- /site2.html
...
2. Configure Apache with mod_jk, setup mod_jk (/etc/httpd/httpd.conf):
# Load mod_jk
#
LoadModule jk_module /usr/lib/apache/mod_jk.so
# Configure mod_jk
#
JkWorkersFile /etc/httpd/conf/workers.properties
JkLogFile /var/log/httpd/mod_jk.log
3. Setup workers.properties for Magnolia (/etc/httpd/conf/workers.properties):
# Setting Java Home
workers.java_home=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_03
ps=/
worker.list=author,public
worker.author.port=8019
worker.author.host=localhost
worker.author.type=ajp13
worker.public.port=8020
worker.public.host=localhost
worker.public.type=ajp13
4. Define virtual hosts for all of you sites (/etc/httpd/httpd.conf):
NameVirtualHost *
# Site1
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName www.site1.org
ServerAlias site1.org
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/$ /site1.html [R]
JkMount /* public
</VirtualHost>
# Site2
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName www.site2.org
ServerAlias site2.org
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/$ /site2.html [R]
JkMount /* public
</VirtualHost>
5. Define a virtual host for the authoring instance (/etc/httpd/httpd.conf):
<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot /srv/www/htdocs/site1
ServerName author.site1.org
ServerAlias author.site2.org
JkMount /* author
</VirtualHost>
6. Setup roles for each site like you find in Setup editor role for a site
7. Test it
Once this is set up, you may find Getting site data helpful.
