Subdomain ISPconfig3 - Setup Site & DNS, but no result!?

Hi,


I'm trying to setup the subdomain "stats.domain.tld" . Hope you can help me. Tried the manual, no luck. Tried google, no luck. And, for some reason I can't access "ISPconfig priority etc." anymore!? Hope somebody sees this, because it's pretty d... important


Made it in "ISPconfig CP/Sites/Subdomains":

Host: stats
Domain: domain.tld
Redirect type: L
Path: http://www.domain.tld/stats/


Done it in DNS as well - "ISPconfig CP/DNS/Zones/Records/DNS Cname":

Hostname: stats
Target hostname: domain.tld

Set TTL --> 300 to shorten update time for testing!?


Can it be this? Is it maybe?:
1. Is it because I only have a primary nameserver and use seconday dns somewhere else!? Do subdomains need to be added in the secondary nameserver!? I was pretty sure it didn't!
2. Do I need a "." (dot) after the target hostname? According to the manual it's only when using a FQDN in either field (hostname/target hostname)
ISPConfig 3 Manual - Target Hostname:
The real name of the machine that the hostname in the "Hostname" field points to. Wildcard values such as * or *.sub are supported, and this field can contain an FQDN or just a
hostname. If you specify an FQDN, the name must end with a dot; if you specify just a hostname, it must not end with a dot.
3. Made a subdomain several days ago. Same setup, but it doesn't work either?? So it's can't be the update time, right?

Hi frprim,


Thanks for your response. But, I can't see how I can solve the problem using that link/site. Sorry, but I can't. Anyway, I did read this site. Right before I tried with the ISPconfig3 manual.

I described my actions very precise. So please, if you know what the error is, then tell me.

GOT IT!! Found the error!

Hi,


Actually I thought I already tried this, but I apparently didn't! Just set a dot after the domain.tld in the "target hostname". Then it will work!!

I think the entry in the manual is a error then, but I'm not sure. Maybe it's me misunderstanding it completely
According to the manual it's only when using a FQDN in either field (hostname/target hostname), the dot is needed!!

ISPConfig 3 Manual - Target Hostname:
The real name of the machine that the hostname in the "Hostname" field points to. Wildcard values such as * or *.sub are supported, and this field can contain an FQDN or just a
hostname. If you specify an FQDN, the name must end with a dot; if you specify just a hostname, it must not end with a dot.
