I'm recently started using ISPConfig3 and it worked flawless until today. I've been trying to set up new sub domains and I've been unable to get it to work. I went through HowToForge and it appears a few people had similar problems and after trying their solutions, I've still been unable to get it to work. Basically, I'm trying to set up a subdomain like "subdomain.mysite.com". I can get to "mysite.com" just fine. But, after using ISPConfig to get up the new subdomain I get a 404 error when trying visit it via browser. Per some instructions, I tried just setting up the subdomain in the subdomain section of ISPConfig. I also tried adding a DNS Zone for it. I tried adding an "A" record for it in the current primary domain (mysite.com). I've tried no redirects and "L" redirects just to a subdirectory (/subdomain/) of the /web directory. Still, no luck. I also tried setting up some redirect logs suggested in another thread per these instructions: http://www.latenightpc.com/blog/archives/2007/09/05/a-couple-ways-to-debug-mod_rewrite And the log is always empty. To make matters worse, I'm getting these errors in my Apache error log (actual IP and domain name changed): [Mon Jan 03 14:17:55 2011] [error] [client 12.34.56.78] PHP Notice: Undefined index: domain in /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/web/dns/dns_wizard.php on line 127, referer: http://www.mysite.com:8080/index.php [Mon Jan 03 14:17:55 2011] [error] [client 12.34.56.78] PHP Notice: Undefined index: ip in /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/web/dns/dns_wizard.php on line 127, referer: http://www.mysite.com:8080/index.php [Mon Jan 03 14:17:55 2011] [error] [client 12.34.56.78] PHP Notice: Undefined index: ns1 in /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/web/dns/dns_wizard.php on line 127, referer: http://www.mysite.com:8080/index.php [Mon Jan 03 14:17:55 2011] [error] [client 12.34.56.78] PHP Notice: Undefined index: ns2 in /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/web/dns/dns_wizard.php on line 127, referer: http://www.mysite.com:8080/index.php [Mon Jan 03 14:17:55 2011] [error] [client 12.34.56.78] PHP Notice: Undefined index: email in /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/web/dns/dns_wizard.php on line 127, referer: http://www.mysite.com:8080/index.php [Mon Jan 03 14:17:55 2011] [error] [client 12.34.56.78] PHP Notice: Undefined index: create in /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/web/dns/dns_wizard.php on line 131, referer: http://www.mysite.com:8080/index.php [Mon Jan 03 14:18:27 2011] [error] [client 12.34.56.78] PHP Notice: Undefined index: xfer in /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/web/dns/dns_wizard.php on line 237, referer: http://www.mysite.com:8080/index.php So, what's going on here? So far I've been pretty happy with ISPConfig and I even purchased the manual. But, I'm at a loss to explain why the subdomains aren't working and why I'm getting these errors. Help! `dkdzn
Take a look in the error.log of the website if you want to know why your subdomain does not work. If a subdoamin shall have its own directory, then you should create a new website for it and not a subdomain record. Please see the ispconfig 3 manual, it is described there. The lines you posted above are no errors, it are php notices for developers. You see them because you set a wrong error reporting level in your php configuration. They are not related to your problem.
Okay, I got it working. It looks like I forgot to set up the DNS record, too. I thought I did but apparently didn't. Frankly, I don't like this set up because my clients will also be accessing their websites via FTP and I don't like them seeing a million different web domain directories instead of one root domain directory and the subdomains w/ subdirectories. Nevertheless, I read your instructions and I am doing that. But, I don't understand what the point is of being able to set up subdomains if you can have different "sub" directories for those "sub" domains? `dkdzn
