Dear Sir,  Thank you for response.I did not found  any errors in log file. Is i am following correct procedure or not as mentioned in my previous mail?. Note: 1. I found help for using virtual host for single instance of OTRS. There  they used it for configuring three virtual hosts one for customers ,other for agents and rest for faq.          2.I did not find any help for using multiple OTRS instances in a single apache server.   Please let me know the detailed procedure to meet my requirements.Thank you Regards, C Naresh Reddy ________________________________ From: Gerald Young To: Naresh Reddy c ; User questions and discussions about OTRS.

I tried below but no luck. 1.I have created one more inatnce of OTRS named as UTS

when i did above settings my apache server is unable to start.Please let me  know the procedure to meet above requirements. Thank You

Hi, just check the logs, indeed. It is absolutely possible to deploy like this, and I have deployed multiple setups like this. One of the gotchas is you'll NEED to have a different vhost for each OTRS instance. So you can for instance do 'helpdesk.mycompany.com' and 'helpdesk-test.mycompany.com' but you can not set up 'helpdesk.mycompany.com/otrs/index.pl' and '/otrs-test/index.pl'. -- Michiel Beijen Senior Consultant OTRS BV Schipholweg 103 2316 XC Leiden The Netherlands T: +31 71 8200 255 F: +31 71 8200 254 I: http://www.otrs.com Get Connected !

From a support point of view: this isn't an official support mailing list, we are a bunch of people who help if we can, if no one has done this before then chances are there isn't a detailed procedure. You may want to contact OTRS support directly but that is £$€ and my gut feeling is they would say it isn't a supported deployment model.

From a technical point of view: there is probably nothing stopping you from doing this, but since no one has been able to assist so far you're going to have to figure it out yourself (my first guess would be to look at the mod_perl and vhost documentation as you are going to have to completely isolate each instance - possibly running multiple instances of Apache with a frontend proxy to the various backend OTRS instances?), or look into alternative methods for hosting.

Oh, and enable more detailed logging in Apache, if it doesn't start then it will be complaining about it somewhere in a log file, Apache doesn't just roll over and die quietly.
