Hi! I am renting a new server with Ubuntu 24.04 and ISPConfig. I can access the server IP in a browser from: /var/www/html. I cannot access the other IPs. ISPConfig appears to have setup the folders for all 5 IPs here: /var/www/clients/client1/ /var/www/clients/client2/ /var/www/clients/client3/ /var/www/clients/client4/ /var/www/clients/client5/ Is this setup correct? How do I browse to the client folders? Thanks!
Websites are accessed by domain name and not by IP address. So you must enter the domain name into the URL field of your browser to access a website. These are folder for clients, not websites. Client folders are never accessed externally. Here are some basics about using ISPConfig: https://www.howtoforge.com/ispconfig-website/ https://www.faqforge.com/linux/serv...ess-a-namebased-website-without-a-dns-record/
Wow . . . I have much to learn. Thank you for the valuable information! Question: I have the websites still live on a Centos server and I can't tamper with the DNS. I do have the IP's for my new Ubuntu server. Is it possible to access the web sites on my new Ububtu server via their IP address? Each of my sites has it's own unique IP. I am studying the document that you sent me but I don't completely understand it.
No, but you don't have to. The second link I posted covers this exact scenario. Windows/Linux/macOS all have a hosts file, which you can use to override DNS for testing purposes. Therefore you can point a domain for your live website to your new server using hosts file and this is only valid for your desktop system where you changed it.
