Hi, Sorry if this is very basic.. Am I right in thinking that Ispc uses the structure in /var/www as a template and clones it to any other sites it creates? In other words, if I install phpmyadmin in /var/www/phpmyadmin, then every new site will also have access to phpmyadmin in nameofnewsite/www/phpmyadmin? Same with webmail etc? Thanks Slowhand
No that's not correct. Website document roots are in /var/www/clients/clientx/... If you need a symlink vor webmail in each website use this plugin: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=34917 You could easily duplicate that plugin and modify it for phpmyadmin symlink.
Croydon, That was quick... Thanks for your reply. Funnily enough I *just* installed the plugin you linked to before writing my original post I haven't looked at it but I imagine modifying the script will be *way* over my head... So, in that case, let me rephrase my original question: If I install phpmyadmin in /var/www/phpmyadmin, then every new site will also have access to phpmyadmin in /var/www/clients/clientx/phpmyadmin? It sounds as if the answer is no... In which case this post confuses me: (From http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=34047) Code: Hi, i am Oliver, the "programmer" of the phpmyadmin link inside ISPC3. if you click on such a link, i am looking for the SERVER, the database is running at (for example server #1). Then i am looking in the server-configuration for the "name", this server has (for example s001.muv-server.com). Then i create a link to the phpmyadmin at this server. means (for this example) http://s001.muv-server.com/phpmyadmin this means, you only have to "create" a working phpmyadmin under your server (NOT under EVERY doamain!). if your server is called s1.myserver.com than you need a pypmyadmin under s1.myserver.com -> thats all. by the way. If you are using SSL with ISPC3, you must have a ssl certificate for your server too -> httpS://s1.myserver.com if you have any more question->feel free to ask! Olli My brain hurts... too old for this Slowhand
Sorry, but you're quote has nothing to do with this I did a second plugin that does the same for phpmyadmin as the other does for webmail. Code: /usr/local/ispconfig/server/plugins-available/pma_symlink_plugin.inc.php and create a symlink in plugins-enabled Code: ln -s /usr/local/ispconfig/server/plugins-available/pma_symlink_plugin.inc.php /usr/local/ispconfig/server/plugins-enabled/pma_symlink_plugin.inc.php Please note: the symlink is automatically removed / not created if suphp is enabled for this website as suphp doesn't allow symlinks outside the docroot.

Croydon, Was just looking at the plugin... If I called the plugin Code: phpmyadmin_symlink_plugin and did a search & replace for Code: webmail_symlink_plugin and replaced it with Code: phpmyadmin_symlink_plugin and the same with Code: /web/webmail Replacing it with Code: /web/phpmyadmin Would that work? Would be a useful technique for all sorts of things ;-) Let me know Slowhand
Arghhhh, Why doesn't it? Isn't it about giving each site access to phpmyadmin? Thanks for the new plugin! Slowhand
Croydon, Got it I can see my technique for adapting your plugin wasn't quite right... ;-) Edit: Actually... was it right? Shouldn't be messing with stuff like this... Thanks again Slowhand
One last thing (yeah right...) Croydon, Is it Ok to symlink the installation of phpmyadmin to /var/www? (Ubuntu installs it in /usr/shared I think) Will your plugin still work? Is it a secure thing to do? Slowhand
In my opinion: yes ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www/phpmyadmin works for me. But be sure users need to log in and are not automatically logged in as root
Croydon, Sorry... Would it be better/safer to use a 'hard' link? Or not relevant? As a newb I'm trying very hard to be as secure as possible... Slowhand
Croydon, In all that we lost sight of my original question: If I install <something> in /var/www/something, then every new site will also have access to <something> in /var/www/clients/clientx/something? The reason I ask is that I would like to figure out how to serve things like phpmyadmin behind https. Seems silly not to... Slowhand
No it is not. /var/www/something is accessible through the MAIN host of ispc only as far as i know. That's why I created the 2 plugins for phpmyadmin and webmail symlink. Sure, it depends on the operating system and installed packages and so on (some packages create aliases in the apache config).
Croydon, Trying to get my head around this... If I wanted to provide an https folder for every site created using ISPc, would I have to set it up in /var/www and then adapt your plugin for the https folder? Then place the symlink for phpmyadmin in the https folder? Was my search & replace technique correct btw?
Ok, it seems to me we talked about different things I just wanted to create webmail and phpmyadmin urls for all websites. There is no option in ispc3 (yet) to give a separate folder for https. As soon as you enable ssl (https) for a website the same url is reachable through https and http. Maybe this could be a feature request for later releases.
Croydon, We're not really talking about separate things. I just want to refine the setup Would a version of your new plugin be a way to create an https folder in an ISPc site? Slowhand
No, the plugin is really only for a symlink (no matter if https or http). What you need is rewriting of the vhost config.
Croydon, Sorry to be dim... I'm confused about your second version of the plugin then. Would I have to install webmail in /usr/share/? Not /var/www/? Slowhand
