    Hi,

    I have an unmanaged VPS with Centos 5 and SSH, I installed Apache 2 using yum.
    I have only one dedicated IP.
    Now I can access my web located at /var/www/html through its IP, eg 1.2.3.4

    Now I wanna add 3 domain names to my server, like this
    domain1.com -> /var/www/domain1
    domain2.com -> /var/www/domain2
    domain3.com -> /var/www/domain3

    In my domain control panel, I can edit name server, cname, a.
    The sreen looks like this (same with A):
    Add CNAME record for domain1.com  [Cancel]
1. Enter a subdomain:
[                 ].domain1.com
2. Enter the CNAME:
[                  ]
3. Click to add.               [Add]
    Code (markup):
    Please help me to set up domain names :)

    Unless you really want to do all the work manually (no problem there, it's just a pain), you should check out Falko's excellent Perfect Server with CentOS 5.2 tutorial. You can follow the instructions to get your system ready set up a free hosting control panel like ISPConfig, which will let you do all the Apache, mail, SSH, and server configuration from your web browser in a nice GUI. Good luck :).

    Read up on VirtualHost entries. You can place them on the bottom of httpd.conf .

    Or, you can make sure of Webmin and Virtualmin - up to you.

    I think this is not what you want to do.Try to see apache configuration file httpd.conf and learn how to add virtual hosts.Good luck.
