Anarchy Online Announcements
By Arkady , Section New Scoop Sites []
Posted on Mon Sep 17, 2001 at 12:00:00 PM PST

I put up a new site this weekend called Anarchy Online, to be "A Journal of Anarchist Theory and Commentary". It is, as far as I know, the first Scoop site to run on multiple domain names properly, so I'll describe that here as well.

Basically, Kuro5hin's readers are largely either uninterested, dismissive of or opposed to Anarchist writing on K5 (though there are exceptions), so I figured it was probably time to start a site specifically for that. It's now available at www.kulture.org.

Since that site is also available on the OpenNIC domain name kulture.indy, I had to get Scoop to work properly for a two domain site. As long as I was at that, I got it in the SSL server too, using one config and two virtual hosts.

The main config is set up as www.kulture.indy, with a normal Scoop config. To prepare the two virtual hosts, it has two Name statements:

NameVirtualHost 131.161.247.71:80
NameVirtualHost 131.161.247.71:443

The two statements are necessary because Apache really hates it when you mix wildcard statements with port-specific virtual hosts (which the www.kulture.org must be, since it doesn't have an SSL cert; OpenNIC certification is free, certification on an ICANN name costs $125/year).

Since the SSL certification is for www.kulture.indy, the SSL virtual host is normal, inheriting its Scoop config entirely from the main config. The virtual host for www.kulture.org is as follows:

<VirtualHost 131.161.247.71:80>
ServerName www.kulture.org
ServerAdmin webmaster@kulture.org
PerlSetVar cookie_host www.kulture.org
</VirtualHost>

You only need to specify the things that are different from the primary config, so all it has is the name-specific bits, and sets Scoop's cookie_host variable correctly for this domain name.

I want to thank Rusty (for giving us Scoop) for suggesting that cookie_host was probably the only bit that needed to be changed and that a name-based VirtualHost setup could probably do this. He was right, it can. ;-)

well, damn. (none / 0) (#1)

Is that all that's needed for multiple domains? I could have sworn I tried that months ago; maybe I just did it wrong.

I'm off to change my httpd.conf...

PS: does scoop.opennic.glue work properly too?

Operation Enduring Downtime (none / 0) (#3)

- Anarchy Onine is also going through 'Operation Enduring Downtime' this morning?
- not exactly. http://131.161.247.71 comes up but i can't get to "kulture.org/scoop" using our intranet nameserver. but if i do a "host www.kulture.org 160.79.129.192", it comes back with the right IP. Basically i ought to write a trouble ticket for OIT's nameserver?
