sub domains

I'm a bit confused on how to setup sub domains within ISPConfig.

I see the co-domain feature, however this doesn't work like a true subdomain. If I make a co-domain forum.domain.com and point it to domain.com/forum, it just rewrites the url. So if I visit forum.domain.com it redirects to domain.com/forum.

I do not want it to do this. I want the address bar to say forum.domain.com not domain.com/forum.

I can easily do this by modifying my httpd.conf file but I would prefer to do this through ISPConfig.

Is this possible?

 

Ok I tried creating a second site and using the Apache Directives box, however ISPConfig automatically sets the DocumentRoot. I need to somehow overwrite that and specify my own document root.

 

That really isn't feasible at this point. I have quite a bit of custom code I wrote to tie the forum and website together as one. It would be a pain to go through and modify everything.

I'll just leave my httpd.conf modifcations in place and not worry about using ISPConfig to handle the subdomain.

I was just confused because all other management systems like Cpanel and Plesk allow you to create subdomains in that fashion. I figured it had to be somewhere in ISPConfig also.

 

You can try to put your own rewrite rules in the Apache Directives field of that web site in ISPConfig (of course, you then have to remove the forward from the Co-Domain).

First you have to tell the DNS server that the sub.damdakikedi.com should point to the same ip as www.damdakikedi.com.. Usualy you can do this through the web interface of your DNS manager...

Than you set up a new site in ISPConfig, and enter "sub" as a host, and "damdakikedi.com" as a domain name.

Than, just copy the page that you wont to be displayed under sub.domain.com, into the web folder that has been created for that site. You can acces it through ftp.

I think that's about it, please someone correct me if i'm wrong!
