WebCatalog does ask the server for some extra information about incoming URLs so that it can figure out the true file location of your templates, but that all happens behind the scenes.You should be aware that things like [referrer] can end up being wrong because of the sneaky way that some virtual domain programs change URLs. [ThisURL] can also look funny for the same reason.But for the vast majority of your development, it's pretty simple: just make your separate web roots and stick templates in them just like you would any other folder. Also remember to put the WebCatalog folder itself inside a folder that is reachable via a virtual domain, so you can administer WebCatalog. You may not have to move anything at all -- just hit the site by ip instead of by name.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
