Is there any way to access an ISPConfig website without having a DNS record pointing to it? In other words I want to access the web-root of the site by using either the IP number of the ISPConfig server like this: http://xx.xxx.xxx.xxx/web17/ for example, or by using the name of the ISPConfig server, so for example http://www.myispconfigserver.com:81/www/web17/ or something similar to that. Basically I am moving an ISPConfig installation from one server to another, and I want to test out the sites on the new server before I change the DNS record. Can that be done? (Sorry, should add that this is Apache/Ubuntu)
This is not possible as ISPConfig configures name-based vhosts. But you can modify the hosts file of the client computer: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=432&highlight=hosts+file+windows
