I recently started porting several websites I run to sbcl and wish to run them off hunchentoot but would like to run them of the same instance. Is there a way to have hunchentoot serve different directories to different websites? So what I am really asking is can hunchentoot do the following when it recieves a request from www.x.com it would serve pages from my directory /home/me/x and when it recieves a request from www.y.com it would serve pages from my directory /home/me/y

Appreciate any help that you could provide and thanks in advance.

You could configure Apache to do it for you. Set up a "reverse proxy" such that x.com goes to a Hunchentoot server listening on localhost:1234, and y.com goes to a Hunchentoot server listening on localhost:1235. Both Hunchentoot servers could be running from the same Lisp image, of course.

<VirtualHost your.numeric.ip.address> ServerAdmin webmaster@x.com ServerName x.com

ProxyRequests off ProxyPass / http://localhost:1234/ ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:1234/ </VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost your.numeric.ip.address> ServerAdmin webmaster@y.com ServerName y.com

ProxyRequests off ProxyPass / http://localhost:1235/ ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:1235/ </VirtualHost>

I use Apache to proxy only one Hunchentoot server right now, but I see no reason the above wouldn't work.

See Edi's "Hunchentoot behind a proxy" documentation, and Apache's "VirtualHost", "ProxyPass", and "ProxyPassReverse" documentation.
