ISPConfig3 | shared IP

When i visit a non-existing subdomain which is on an ISPConfig2 server, the message "Shared IP" within the web browser appears. If i do the same on an ISPConfig3 server this is not the case. The fist website in alphabetic order seams to appear. What do i have to do, so that i get the same as on an ISPConfig2 server?

 

..take a look at your /var/www/index.html file (..you should have one)
In all my setup i've customized it with a standard default page.

I have a default index.html file within /var/www already, but that's no solution and is not functioning.

Further information:
I do not use my own DNS-servers.
When i create a wildcard or "*" CNAME as DNS-record at my ISP, the Apache webserver shows the fist website in alphabetical order.

Example:
I host the website on www.mydomain.com on the ISPConfig3 server. When i visit the non existing subdomain test.mydomain.com then the first website appears (alphabetical order, regarding the domain name). So my question is: how can i avoid this behaviour. As said before, on an ISPConfig2 server in such situation, the SHARED IP message appears, which is what i want. How can i do this on an ISPConfig3 server?

The reason i want to have the wildcard CNAME so, the client can easily create subdomains within ISPConfig3.

 

Thanks Till, but that is not what i mean.
I know there is no shared IP page. But i wish there was one, as i do not like the behaviour that if a subdomain does not exitst, the first website shows up (in alphabetical order, regarding domain names created on the ISPConfig3 server).

 

Thank you Till, that's exactly what i was looking for!

 

Thanks Till,

Thanks for the information, but i see that there are default vhost files available already on an ISPConfig3 server.
These files are:
/etc/apache2/sites-available/default
/etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl

Correct me when i'm wrong but i think that the first website (domain in alpabetical order) is shown in the browser, because both of these files contain:
DocumentRoot /var/www/ and <Directory /var/www/.

So what i did was: i created the directory /var/www/default containing my index.html page.
And changed DocumentRoot /var/www into DocumentRoot /var/www/default and <Directory /var/www into DocumentRoot /var/www/default within the files /etc/apache2/sites-available/default and /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl.

However nothing happend. What am i doing wrong?

 

Once you get this setup, can you share it with me? I have been looking for the same thing for a while now!

 

..ok let's try to create a ISPC2 'similar behaviour'..
(commands as root '#')

- make /var/www/sharedip folder
- create a /var/www/sharedip/index.html default page
- edit (or create) /etc/apache2/sites-available/default

-----------------------------------
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/sharedip/
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/sharedip/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
LogLevel warn
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
-----------------------------------

- # cd /etc/apache2/sites-enabled
- # ln -s ../sites-available/default 000-default
- restart apache..

At this point, ..for me, it's working.

Thanks bajodel, i guess that's it. I will set it up that way as well.

 

@bajodel,
Thanks for your detailed explanation but unfortunately it did nothing.

In fact i did the same, as the default and default-ssl files already exists within /etc/apache/sites-available with a symlink to /etc/apache/sites-enabled.

However what we've setup should work, but for an unknown reason, Apache still serves the first website (on alpabetic order) which is created with ISPConfig3.

I guess i still miss something.

 

Thanks Till,
But using <VirtualHost _default_:*> instead does not make any difference at all either.

 

i would also like to know the solution.

 

Hans.. could you please show here /etc/apache2/sites-available/ folder in detail..
(# ls -l /etc/apache2/sites-available/) ..and your distro/version ..

I'm on debian lenny (perfect setup..) and latest ISPC. What i've written in my previous post has worked well fom me.

bye..

bajodel

 

The output of ls -l /etc/apache2/sites-available/ is for every single vhost:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root <number> <timestamp> <name.vhost>

(I do not mention all the vhost files here).

I use Debian Lenny with ISPConfig 3.0.2.1.

 

You don't have thee 000-default symlink ..you miss the last 2 point:
# cd /etc/apache2/sites-enabled
# ln -s ../sites-available/default 000-default

bye..

i have tried what bajodel have wrote, but httpd (apache2) didn't start.

 

really sorry ressel.. i'm going to believe it's working only for me

..what error apache arises ?

bye..
