Hi, I have a customer with a HostEurope webaccount and an unusual directory-setting (HostEurope can use different directorys for web/subdomains) that needs to get moved to a new ISPConfig Ubuntu Apache Server. My problem with it is as followed: The Webaccount itself is in /www The main Domain aaa is in /www/a with internal connections to some content in /www/b Then there is the subdomain bbb in /www/b with it's own .htaccess, its own database and some internal connections to /www/a My first thought was (I have to leave /www/a and /www/b and FollowSymlinks is globally allowed), I will just put a symlink to /www/b in /www/a as "b", but then the included .htaccess in /www/b doesn't work anymore (I guess, apache does not pick up .htaccess in an symlink-directory). Then I tried to put the htaccess-content from bbb as a directory-command in the Apache-Options-field from aaa in ISPConfig, but this doesn't work either. Any idea or help with this would be great...or would it just work as expected, when I would change ISPConfig to use the new "Subdomain (vhost)"-Option in future?
And it might be necessary that domain b is a vhost alias domain of domain a in case both shall share some content, if you create individual websites, then you will probably get permission errors as each website runs under its own Linux user.
I activated and tried the subdomain vhost feature now. Seems to be, what I was looking for, great. Group and Owner are staying the same (as I understood your post, Till, they shouldn't or only, if I would have used the alias vhost option??), which is perfect....I only had to take care of open_basedir, so that the subdomains are able to read content in /www. I will test everything a bit deeper tomorrow with logins, etc.. If there is no error, this option saved me a lot of time, thanks!
