Hey there, Under Domains I added a new website "example.com". I added a site alias "test.example.com", I created a DB and shell user for example.com. https://test.example.com:8080 is also the control panel page for ISPConfig. How can I build a website for example.com that does not "conflict" with https://test.example.com:8080 (if a conflict is actually what is happening). NOTE: Under /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ Thanks
There is no conflict and domain names can't conflict with different ports anyway as port 8080 is not port 80 and is not port 443. If you add a port to a URL, then your web browser connects to this port instead of the usual port 80 (HTTP) or 443 (https). So https://test.example.com:8080 is not https://test.example.com as they are on completely different ports and therefore, they can not be a conflict.
And if a website shows the content of a different website, then this is explained in the read before posting thread: https://www.howtoforge.com/community/threads/please-read-before-posting.58408/ But the server hostname is always treated a bit differently by apache, that#s why you use for the hostname a subdomain that's not used for other purposes like using it as a website or subdomain of a website.
Aside from the port issue, perhaps what you're wanting is a "vhost alias domain" rather than a (non-vhost) "alias domain"? That lets both example.com and test.example.com have their own website root, even though they share ssh logins for management, etc.
For users looking for a simple solution and having a similar problem. What worked for me was tools -> resync websites.
