Hello,
I guess it is a very basic question, but I am not familiar with the
settings of concurrent web servers, reverse proxies, etc.

My system runs Yaws and I am happy with it, but I would need to run
Apache as well. I can set Apache to listen to 8000 (for example)
instead of 80, i.e. to have

http://www.firstdomain.org/ run by Yaws
and http://www.seconddomain.org:8000/ run by Apache.

But I would prefer to get rid of the :8000. My understanding is that I
could use Yaws as a primary server and let it forward the requests for
www.seconddomain.org to Apache.

But I don't understand how to practically implement this. Would
somebody be kind enough to spend some time writing down the piece of
yaws.conf needed to run this example (and any other useful
information)?

Thanks a lot,
J

I would do it like this.
Set your Apache server on port 80 and the edit the vhost.conf file to point to your yaws server

Code:

<VirtualHost *:80>
             ServerName www.seconddomain.com
             ServerAlias seconddomain.com *seconddomain.com
             DocumentRoot /home/second/docroot
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
             ServerName www.firstdomain.com
             ServerAlias firstdomain.com *.firstdomain.com
             DocumentRoot /var/yaws/yadayada
             ProxyPass / http://firstdomain.com:8000/
             ProxyPassReverse / http://firstdomain.com:8000/
</VirtualHost>


Then you can let your apache server do all the forwarding in an easy way. In this way you can run
how many yaws server as you want. Just create a new vhost i the vhost file to the new yaws server.
