    Hi

    Id like to setup a configuration whereby i can offer some of my users webspace without needing their own domain.

    Id like it so that they could use a subdomain of one of my domains i.e.

    username.mydomain.com

    or a subfolder of my main domain

    mydomain.com/username

    This is simlar to how some of the 'free hosting' companies like geocities do it.

    Any ideas?

    You can use the user web feature of ISPConfig, but i would recommend that you create a website for each of your users.

    Simply add a website for each user with:

    host: username
    domain: mydomain.com

    Then go to the co-domain tab and delete the co-domain mydomain.com that ISPConfig has created automatically.

    Infos to the user web feature are in the manual.

    you would need to edit your /etc/hosts file to show that site locally

    ie:
    on windows xp pro

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\

    edit the hosts file and add the following line;

    192.168.100.10 gruppo.com

    the result is the same and I suppose that the problem is another, infact I see the common home page with the title shared IP This IP address is shared. In order to approach the situated one that tries, you insert its distance. For questions or problems contacted the administrator of the server.


    this is my lan:
    server with ispconfig 192.168.100.10
    server for storage 192.168.100.10
    my pc
    my pc2
    my pc3
    etc.
    if i want see my site on server with ispconfig, must I insert this line on all pc of the lan?

    yes, you'd need to enter that line on each of your pc,pc2,pc3,etc in order to see your site locally on the lan. if you have gui on the server then you need to make an entry into the /etc/hosts file there as well.
