Hi, i have new installed Debian with ISPconfig. After it, i setup a new client "test", and setup under client "test" a new website "test.com". When i put my local ip address 192.168.1.22 in the browser, i only see the test page wat is located under /var/www/html What do i wrong? Ho do i reach my website page under /var/www/test.com/web ? I also tried 192.168.1.22/test.com but get the error "the request page URL test.com was not found on this server. Thanks Robin
well, since you can host multiple sites, the server doesn't know what to show you when you call it by ip. So what you have to do is edit your hosts file and ad 192.168.1.22 test.com to it. So that the server knows you want to access test.com
Hi, thanks for the information. In ISPConfig panel, tab "system", tab "server IP address" i put the address 192.168.1.22. Now i can reach my website with local address 192.168.1.22 in the browser. But this is not the way you mentioned above i think? So if i edit the host file and put 192.168.1.22 test.com to it, i can reach the website with 192.168.1.22/test.com Is this correct? When i make a second website test2.com and also put it in the host file with 192.168.1.22 test2.com, then i can reach the 2 websites with 192.168.1.22/test.com and 192.168.1.22/test2.com, is this correct? Where can i find the host file to edit? I'm not a expert... Thanks
No. Editing the hosts file repleaces dns, so you just enter: test.com in the browser then to reach the site.
This depends on the OS that you use. Google will show you the right place when you search for your OS.
Thanks for your replay. In my browser "Safari", i place the ip address 192.168.1.22, it shows me website test.com, but when i place test.com it shows me not my website test.com What do i wrong, are there not correct settings in Tab "website"? or are there another not correct settings. Thanks
Hi From what you have said so far your hosts file needs to look something like: 192.168.1.22 test.com 192.168.1.22 2.test.com Because you are using 1 IP address for your websites you need to tell Apache the name/subdomain for each site under the main domain (test.com) don't forget the period.

Hi, where can i find the host file? what is the name and what is his extension of the host file. Regards
You missed to add test.com to the hosts file on your desktop. The location of the hosts file depends on the OS, it has no extension. Search at google for your os plus hosts file, you will find plenty of posts that explain where you can find it.
