Port based virtual hosting locally/development environment Hi I run a Ubuntu 6.06 server internally for testing and developing web sites prior to uploading to my server at a ISP (Ubuntu 5.10/ISPConfig). I run port based virtual hosting internally and have done so for a number of years. My server is not visible outside my network. I run a DHCP network. I'd gotten into the habit of using the port range 60 to 75 and rotate ports as I finish sites/project and move onto the next project. I'm just finding this a time consuming and messy way of doing things, so I was wondering if there is a better way of doing this? Can I run ISPConfig? Sorry for the long post, just wanted to be clear.

You could use name-based vhosts, but then you'd need a DNS server in your LAN that resolves the FQDNs locally. ISPConfig doesn't support IP-based vhosts, just name-based vhosts.
Yes. Either install ISPConfig, it will then do the configuration for you, or have a look here, if you want to do it manually: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/
