Trouble with subdomains

Hi!
I have a problem with subdomains. I create one using the co-domains page and tick the "create dns" option and enter the desired folder. But when I try to access the subdomain in my browser I get a shared IP page.
What could I be doing wrong?
The specs are in my signature, the root server.

 

Yup.

I've flushed the DNS cache on my computer and it still didn't change.

 

Did you tell your client PC to use your ISPConfig server as the primary DNS server? The DNS servers of your ISP probably use a cache as well...

 

Can you explain that a little more? I'm not sure I know what you mean exactly.

 

As I can understand subdomains in ispconfig3 do not have ther own document roots, but they share the document root of the main site, which does not make sense. I would like to be able to create a subdomain which will have it's own document root, vhost etc etc....

 

oh just seen his signature....lack of sleep

 

I've just thought, it's just as easy creating the subdomain via htaccess.
Till, do you know what directive I need to put into the the site's directive box to allow the use of htaccess files? AllowOverride or something like that...

Edit: I've put in the following directive:

Code:

<Directory "/var/www/web9/web">
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>

Then I created a htaccess file with this content:

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} en.domain.tld $ [NC]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/en_dom/
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ en_dom/ [L]

When I go to en.domain.tld I still get a Shared IP page.

 

Hm, this seems to be a bigger problem.
I have just tried adding a different domain and did everything the usual way. Result: Shared IP page.
And the best thing: I have no fecking clue as to what might be causing this.

 

Does your subdomain point to the right IP? You can check that with

Code:

dig subdomain.yourdomain.com

What's in Vhosts_ispconfig.conf, and what's the output of

Code:

ifconfig

?

 

The output seems fine, it shows the A record with the correct IP.
However in /etc/apache2/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf there is no mention of the subdomain.
Also, as I mentioned before, I have added a new domain in ISPconfig. When I try to view it in my browser I get the IP shared page and it also does NOT appear in /etc/apache2/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf

Code:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
          inet addr:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX  Bcast:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX  Mask:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
          inet6 addr: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Scope:Link

I have edited Vhosts_ispconfig.conf and added information for the domain2.tld that was already added in ispconfig. Now when I visit domain2.tld with my browser, I get the expected website.

So it seems ispconfig is simply not writing to the Vhosts_ispconfig.conf file. Or am I mistaken?

Edit:
Cool thanks.

 

Okay I've followed the steps. There was a wrong Apache Directive on one of the websites stored on the server. So I corrected that change. Then I deleted the de.domain.tld and domain2.tld from ISPconfig. Both the sites and the DNS records.
Then suddenly the server became unreachable. All domains stopped working.
Then I tried to restart apache and it just says:
Forcing reload of web server (apache2)...httpd (pid 12915?) not running
failed!

So I tried to just start the apache2 and it just says "failed".

 

Okay the error log was moaning that I had deleted two of the webX folders (I had done that the normal way as described above). But I must have re-uploaded the wrong Vhosts_ispconfig.conf file. Now I've created the folders again. I just need to figure out how to stop apache2 looking for them when starting up.

 

I'd modify one of the web sites in ISPConfig so that Vhosts_ispconfig.conf gets rewritten with the current configuration. It should reference old folders anymore afterwards.

 

Ah cool, thanks for the tip!
