since I'm newb, I thought I'd bundle these two questions together. 1) I have figured out how to add sub domains in the DNS manager but how do you get them pointed to a specific folder for a website? 2) is there any way to manually add a FTP user or is there any way to not lock a user into their home directory?
Some help I do not know if i understand your questions correctly, but i try to help: To make a sub-domain, within ISPConfig, you can create a co-domain. You can create a co-domain via >ISPManager > select your web > goto the Co-domain tab, and create a co-domain there. For example: if you create "webmail" as hostname and "yourdomain.com" as domain name, you'll be able to point to http://webmail.mydomain.com in your browser. Within ISPConfig every domainuser has FTP-access. (when FTP-access is enabled on the Basis tab, of course). The user which is marked as administrator can upload the site to http://www.yourdomain.com/ When other users are uploading a website, it will be visible via the Internet on URL http://www.mydomain.com/~username (Username, not an allias).
I got the co domains thing but how do you tell it where to point? i.e. www.domain.com points to /web3 sub.domain.com points to /web3/subdomain
You can also create subdomains on your main domain by creating a new website like mail.mydomain.com. To do so, create a new website with "mail" as the hostname, not www. In that case, you point to your new independed website. http://mail.mydomain.com
