Hi,
I installed the wordpress AMI on AWS for a single site. Now I want to host multiple domains on that same server, but I don't want to use the multiple wordpress site stack.
I followed the steps to enable VirtualHosts and got the second site up and running. However, I was only able to get the second site up once I'd pointed its domain to the server's IP address.
How can I test a new site before updating the DNS to point the actual domain to the server? In other words, I have an existing site with quite a bit of traffic that I want to move over. I know things go wrong, they always do... so I want to see the site working under a URL such as http://<public url="">/MySite
Once I'm happy with that, I just want to point the domain to the server and maybe run a DB update for wordpress (move to root).
Instead, if I currently try to go to http://<public url=""> it goes to the first virtual host. So when I go to http://<public url="">/MySite, I guess it's looking for a subfolder under that first domain's installation, which is not what I want.
I should also mention that I ran updateIP to get the first domain working off the root folder before I found the documentation for virtual hosts.
Hope you can help.
