hi guys, I know this have been asked before for many times, but I still can't find the answer. I need to connect to my website without domain name statement. meaning: instead of http://www.testdomain.com/ I want to type ip address: http://10.10.10.10/testdomain/ is it possible ? thanks
Not by default. You may be successful by adding the userdir directive to your apache configuration manually (you should get the something like http://10.10.10.10/~user), but I believe this is not recommended with the ISPConfig setup. I haven't done this myself. Userdir is known for it's vulnerabilities.
Is it a option for you to define your websites in the hosts file of your local windows, linux or mac workstation?
One option I have used for a long time is giving each customer a website alias under our domain. So if the customer website is http://www.customer.com/ I would also create a domain alias of http://customer.ourisp.com/ This would give the customer the ability to start uploading and testing their website before they would have their domain name changed over from their previous ISP.
I think it is a very good idea that Clogboy suggested is it possible to add it as a built-in feature in ispconfig? thanks
This is possible in ISPConfig already, just add a co-domain to the website with customer.ourisp.com and chech the create DNS checkbox, as long as the DNS-Record of the domain ourisp.com is managed on the same server, everything is configured autonatically.
It's already part of ISPConfig. Just create the co-domain customer.ispmaindomain.com for your new customer.
For direct access modify your httpd.conf http://10.0.0.150/~web1 etc.. is working example: <IfModule mod_userdir.c> UserDir /var/www/*/web/ </IfModule> <Directory /var/www/*/web> AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .php4 .php5 AddHandler cgi-script .cgi AddHandler cgi-script .pl <Limit GET POST OPTIONS> Order allow,deny Allow from all </Limit> <LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS> Order deny,allow Deny from all </LimitExcept> </Directory>
thanks for the reply. I think since many people also requested for it it is a good option to add into domain setting for example a check box > ALLOW DIRECT ACCESS so Ispconfig automatically add it into httpd.conf I don't want to mess around with httpd.conf thanks again
ISPConfig includes this already as I posted above. Another checkbox for a function that is already implemented will confuse users more then it helps. http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showpost.php?p=55070&postcount=6 Also adding it to the pacahe conf without configuring DNS will work only if you use wildcard domains.
