hello everybody, i was wanting to move an existing web to another subdomain.explicitely, i made a web with subdomain "joomla" and then installed drupal on it because of a hint from a friend. now, as i am likeing drupal, i wanted to move it to drupal.mydomain.com, so i opened theadmin panel and changed the "host" settingfrom joomla to drupal. after waiting a while for the configfiles to be rewritten (looking into the paper bin is a nice "status bar"), the page could be found at drupal.mydomain.com,just as i wanted. but, on joomla.mydomain.com, there is still some kind of "rest", looks like the page without any css and graphics. did i do something wrong? how can i clean up the old subdomain? or do i just have to wait a while? thanks damaltor
What you did is correct and should work. Have a look at the ispconfig.log file for errors and make sure that you created a dns a-record for the new subdomain.
since i didnt find any errors, i emptied the paper bin and made a new web wich uses the old subdomain (joomla). after opening this domain in the browser, there was the standard page (welcome, delete or change this file...). a new web seems to solve the problem and overwrites any old content. just to have a try, i deleted the newly created web - and the subdomain was completely empty again (this ip is shared...). so, maybe that was some one-time-failure, i dont know. but i can live with that, if it is solveable that easy. thanks for the fast answer.
