so i recently found i have a number of friends and family that are for some reason paying for web hosting at WeSellHosting.com/YourPage style hosts, so i figured i can save them a lill money and host for them. i have used ubuntu for years but never to host multiple pages so i followed the perfect server guide for ubuntu 9.10 with ISPConfig 3 and am up and running... however after installing it i am having a hard time figuring out how to configure it. i would simply like to have everyones websites as MyDomain.com/YourSite or YourSite.MyDomain.com but i cant figure this out. i have setup a test user and test website however i cant seem to find the site through a web browser or figure out how to set subdomains to link to said site any help would be great!!! thanks! -Jeff
You should use YourSite.MyDomain.com and not MyDomain.com/YourSite for such a setup. Just as a sidenote, domains names are always lowercase, if you use uppercae characters, it might cause your sites to not work as paths in linux are case sensitive! 1) Create DNS A-Records for every subdomain e.g. yoursite.yourdomain.com 2) create a website yoursite.yourdomain.com repeat setps 1 and 2 for each website. If you run your server behind a router, make sure that you use internal ip addresses in the website settings and the external ip address in the dns settings. You should select the IP address and not * in the website settings. If the ip is not listed, add it in the server settings.
thanks! i seem to have it all working now! ya i only used caps in the domain to illustrate my goal better lol
Till, did you mean to create an A record for yoursite.yourdomain.com in the yourdomain.com zone or to create first a yoursite.yourdomain.com zone and then add an A record for yoursite.yourdomain.com in the newly created yoursite.yourdomain.com zone? Thanks Jude.
Till, If I understood correctly what you just said, I would simply add an A record for yoursite.yourdomain.com in the yourdomain.com zone. Am I correct? Thanks
