Kronos - VPN and Apache

The Kronos page:
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Project_Kronos
includes these two entries:
A couple of network-related notes
+ XAPI expects to run in a clean environment,
and listens on ports 80 and 443. If you're
running anything else on these ports
(typically Apache/Apache2), then you're
likely to have problems.
+ There is a known bug (which needs to be
fixed) which means that in certain
circumstances when you are using VPN
software (e.g. when you have a tun0
interface listed in ifconfig), xapi
will fail. Please ensure that you remove
all such software before attempting to
run xcp-xapi.

Do these mean that Apache and VPN can not be run with Xen or possibly
that they can be run from VMs?

Those notes should only apply to the system running xapi, which is the
dom0. domUs (i.e. VMs) should be unaffected.
And also note that it doesn't specifically blacklist only apache;
rather it says that you shouldn't have anything on dom0 which listens
on port 80 and 443.

Fajar,
Does this mean that one or more domUs can run Apache? Will they be on
virtual ports 80 and 443? If so, what is it call where Xen translates
ports?

Thank you,
ray

Yes

err ... you need to read more about xen networking. Start with the wiki.

In short, with the default setup, domUs will have a DIFFERENT ip from
dom0, but within the SAME network due to bridge networking setup.

You CAN change that, of course. Again, the wiki should be able to tell
you what kinds of networking setup are available for xen.
