I have searched this forum and google but I can't find anything on this... When making a new "site" ISPConfig will automatically create a sym-link in /var/www/domainname.com I am using roundcube webmail and it is located in /var/www/roundcube How am I to get ISPConfig to automatically create a symlink in the client web folder? /var/www/domainname.com/web/webmail -> /var/www/roundcube Normally I just ssh to server and create the link manually, which is OK if I am doing the setup of a new website, but if another of staff is doing they will always forget or skip this step.. can i make it auto? I tried adding extra to the "Website Symlinks" in server config, and seperated them with , or ; but it just breaks it completely (not even the normal one gets made so I set it back to default setting)
You can e.g. write a plugin for this and bind it to the same events then the apache plugin. Take a look at the apache plugin for details and there are also some threads in the dev forum on how to write plugins. We do not offer such a function in ispconfig as it does not work reliably. It breaks when you use high security settings or suphp or php-fcgi as it is done on hosting systems. This field is only for symlinks pointing to the website and not for syminks in the website.
i have no clue about apache plugins can i suggest to implement such a feature, in the distant future? to be able to comma seperate multiple symlink directives in the "Website Symlinks" field? this could help noob sys admin like myself, i am still learning linux and have a loooong way to go (if there is such thing as a finish line)
If you are adding it for every site, why not put a just create an alias in apache. Code: vi /etc/apache2/conf.d/apache2-doc Code: Alias /webmail /var/www/roundcube/ <Directory "/var/www/roundcube/"> Options Indexes FollowSymlinks AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all AddDefaultCharset off </Directory> Then just restart apache, and all your sites will automatically end up at that when they go to domain.com/webmail
thanks dclardy i tried your suggestion and indeed it does work as intended.. now i don't need to make sym links in each sites web folder.. thankyou thanks till sorry i didn't realise, i am a big nooby
