Hey there So i'm having issues with setting up a subdomain with a Joomla CMS. All the files have been uploaded and configured properly, the database has been created, and the subdomain is reachable, and PHP is set to Fast-CGI in the control panel; but every time i go to the url, i just get the default ISPConfig welcome message. Is there something else i need to set for it to work?
There was an index.html file to delete since i created the subdomain redirect path manually. If i replace the index.html in the /web folder, it displays that new index.html, so it appears there's an issue with redirect path; i've tried http://domain.tld/subdomain, /subdomain/, and even /web/subdomain/ to see if i get error, and still get the same result.
In this case, you should either create a new website for that subdomain or use the vhost subdomain function. The normal subdomain function you use is not intended to be used for the installation of a cms system in a sub directory.
Okay them, thanks for that. Is this something new that was introduced, because i remember installing wordpress to a subdomain that i created the same way?
No, nothing has changed. WordPress is a multi-domain capable cms, so for Wordpress, you would install Wordpress into the website root and not a subdirectory and then create a subdomain in ISPConfig without settings any redirects. Wordpress (MU) is then able to route the traffic internally. There are other CMS too like Typo 3 that internally rewrite multiple domains or subdomains in a single CMS install and for these you use the subdomain or alias domain feature.
Ah, i see, i did not know about those differences between wordpress and joomla, the explanation is much appreciated. and the vhost subdomain solved the web access issue, so thanks again.
