Create a Subdomain

I have ISPConfig installed and working. Now, I want to create a subdomain but an not clear on all the steps required to do it.

I have my domain registered at GoDaddy.

Currently, I have www.domain.com configured at GoDaddy using "Total DNS Control" manager. How do I create http://dev.domain.com on my server and point GoDaddy to it?

I see the "co-domains" on the ISPConfig tab, and can create the "dev.domain.com" but then what? It doesn't create a folder for me to upload to. Can someone explain to me the steps?

Thanks.

 

So did you find out how to create a subdomain, I'm in the same boat as you, queit new to ISPconf.

This ISPcong is alot different to what I was using.

Thanks, I've been at it for a while now and cant make heads or tails out of it.

This ISPconfig is way out of my league for now, I'll stick to the easyier stuff, thanks for the support.

In ISPConfig add a Co-Domain
with Hostname "dev" and Domain "domain.com"
To point it to another directory switch to forward and type in "dev".
You should then create a directory "dev" within the "web" directory on your server.

To point to it the DNS should contain a CNAME of "dev.domain.com" and be directed to "domain.com"

 

I have the same problem.

I created co-domain, also created folder with same name, but still can't get the right result when I type the address in web browser. Why?

Maybe this is the problem. My friends can't see www.puran.si. I can (from my computer). ?!?!??!

Thanks, Tilen

 

The A record for www.puran.si is pointing to a local IP address:

Code:

dig www.puran.si

This means that nobody from outside your local network can see your web site. You must use the server's public IP address in the DNS record.

 

still the same problem

Code:

$TTL        86400
@       IN      SOA     suse.mejhn.si. ttilen.gmail.com. (
                        2006121102       ; serial, todays date + todays serial #

                NS      bbki.si-gov.org.              ; Inet Address of name server 2
;

www  MX      10 suse.mejhn.si.

puran.si.      A        86.61.71.163
www       A       86.61.71.163

;;;; MAKE MANUAL ENTRIES BELOW THIS LINE! ;;;;

 

Sorry but I cannot understand how the CNAME should be...

 

It's looking ok now:

Code:

mh1:~# dig www.puran.si

; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> www.puran.si
;; global options:  printcmd

It can take up to 72 hours until DNS changes propagate so you must be patient.

 

What exactly is the problem?

 

Thank you very much Falko. Can you please help me with another problem....subdomain.

Now, that my domain www.puran.si works, I would like to have subdomain forum (forum.puran.si). I installed PHPBB forum (www.puran.si/forum/). Now, I want subdomain that redirects you in this folder. How can I do that?
