Multiple Websites Using File Sharing on Server

I recently started a position where the previous person left me very little information. I am not familiar with hosting locally as I have always used GoDaddy. There are several sites set up, so I have some "template" to go off of, but I need the basics. These may be silly questions, but I'm sure someone out there can help me.

• If i purchase the domain somewhere and the multiple sites are hosted on a single IP, how can I direct to a specific folder?
• Do I just create a folder within the volume all others are then make it a shared folder? Set the protocol options to match one that is alread there?
• Is there a beginers guide to this, and all the settings and options available somewhere?

Any help is appreciated. If you need more information then what I provided please let me know. Thank you!

• You don't give any server information so assuming you are using Apache, you would set up name-based virtual domains in the Appache conf files.
• Your directory names within your server document root would correspond to the virtual names set up in the Apache conf files. Each directory would require a virtual domain setting including its own document root.
• Look in the server documentation. For Apache try Apache.org

You should go to your server's help mamuals for help with this as it is not a Snow Leopard issue but a web server issue you have.
