Hi, Is there any way I can create a subdomain on my Server using console ? I do not use any control panel so I want to do it via SSH.
hi you meaning an vhost like (top level domain) note ** when you turn on vhosting your default /var/www/html site will go away (most times) mysite.com and you want x1.mysite.com x2.mysite.com type of deal ? if so , its just an easy at the command line you can change this for your own needs type in mkdir -p /var/www/vhost/x1.mysite.com/htdocs mkdir -p /var/www/vhost/x1.mysite.com/logs mkdir -p /var/www/vhost/x1.mysite.com/cgi-bin mkdir -p /var/www/vhost/x2.mysite.com/htdocs mkdir -p /var/www/vhost/x2.mysite.com/logs mkdir -p /var/www/vhost/x2.mysite.com/cgi-bin ==== centos / redhat / fedora ==== chown -R apache:apache /var/www/vhost OR === deb / Ubuntu ==== chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/vhost chmod -R 775 /var/www/vhost (you may want to check the chmod levels there ) i know mainly where the redhat and its clones keep the apache conf files so you may need to look around for the deb and its clone apache files open this file and add to the bottom of it the command than quite and save vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf NameVirtualHost *.80 <VirutalHost *:80> ServerAdmin [email protected] DocumentRoot /var/www/vhost/x1.mysite.com ServerName x1.mysite.com ServerAlias www.x1.mysite.com ErrorLog /var/www/vhost/x1.mysite.com/logs/error_log CustomLog /var/www/vhost/x1.mysite.com/logs/access_log common ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/vhost/x1.mysite.com/cgi-bin/ </VirutalHost> <VirutalHost *:80> ServerAdmin [email protected] DocumentRoot /var/www/vhost/x2.mysite.com ServerName x2.mysite.com ServerAlias www.x2.mysite.com ErrorLog /var/www/vhost/x2.mysite.com/logs/error_log CustomLog /var/www/vhost/x2.mysite.com/logs/access_log common ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/vhost/x2.mysite.com/cgi-bin/ </VirutalHost> save and quit than you get access to them update your DNS server records or edit the hosts files on your system that u will be trying to access the sites from and add <IP_OF_WWW_BOX> x1.mysite.com x2.mysite.com save it windows : \windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts linux : /etc/hosts
