Title: Custom IP domain name
Post by: mkyo3 on June 08, 2009, 11:51:36 AM

Hi,
Firstly, I've been using HFS on my local network for about a year and this software done wonders to me.

I have a contacts who have their own domain name eg (www.myfriendweb.com), and I would be running HFS to be used in his website.
I would need to use an extended address from that domain eg (www.myfriendweb.com/mkyo3HFS).

My question is, how do you achieve to do this?
Can I directly add the to my "Custom IP Address" in HFS or is there anything else I need to configure?
Where do should I put my port number in the address?

This would be the first attempt to make HFS "online"

there are several ways to go
1. run hfs directly on the server, so you would access it with url www.you.com:PORT
2. run hfs on your computer and get traffic via subdomain, like hfs.you.com (this requires dns configuration on the server)
3. run hfs on your computer and get traffic via webhop, with a simple redirection (you may preserve the url in the browser bar by using frames, if you need)
4. run hfs on your computer and get traffic via apache reverse proxy
5. more?
