This week we get hands-on with Domain Access as we continue the Introduction to Domain Access for Drupal 7 series. We'll walk through configuring our Apache virtual host (vhost) so all three of our domain names are pointing to the same Drupal site. With that configured properly we can get the Drupal site installed and then install Domain Access. There is a little extra installation step required for Domain Access to do its magic. After we have it up and running we spend some time looking at and understanding the main Domain Access settings, get our other domain names added to the site, and dive into working with content. We're going to learn how to share content across all three domains, as well as be able to restrict some content to only certain domains.

Next week we'll wrap this introductory series up by looking at other settings and themes for our sites, setting up permissions for our authors and editors, and taking a peek at ways to extend Domain Access further on your own.
Comments
Will you do a segment on domain access for hosts that are not running apache? Like nginx?
Hi Jonshock, we don't have any plans for other web servers at this time. Other servers are not very high in our suggestion box (https://drupalize.me/suggestions) and I don't personally have experience with nginx. That said, please do add or upvote suggestions if this is something you'd like to see in the future.
