vhosts / sub domains

I had ISPconfig setup and working on a server.
Via this setup I successfully created the user/domain/subdomain
with the Vhosts all working correctly.

ie:
www.domain.tld -> /web1/
.domain.tld ->/web1/
forums.domain.tld ->/web1/forums/


but no matter what i tried i could not get the FTP to allow logins.

so uninstalled ISPconfig.

reinstalled ISPconfig, after completely reinstalling proftpd.

now the existing domain pointing to /web1/
works fine
but no matter where I add the subdomain forums.* it will not add the vhost as before.

it will add it as a server alias to www.domain.tld .. which isnt what i had before

I do have a backup of the Vhosts_ispconfig.conf .... but without knowing where in the database to actually readd the forums. subdomain its of no use.
Can anyone give me any pointers please

*ps. I have tried pretty much all the suggestions so far in this forums, with no luck.

it wasnt how i had it running before hand.
But that works just aswell

Thank you Till

 

stevie, how did you get forums.domain.ltd ??

The only subdomain I can get to work is www.domain.ltd ....

 

first add your subdomains to the dns

sub1.
sub2.
sub3. etc

then under your www.domain.tld/web/ folder add the relevant folders
ie
www.domain.tld/sub1/
www.domain.tld/sub2/
www.domain.tld/sub3/

then in ISPconfig -> ispmanager -> sites -> www.domain.tld
in the apache directive add

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   ^sub1.domain.tld [NC]
RewriteRule   ^/(.*)$ /sub1/$1  [L]

making sure that the subdomain AND the folder are named identical

for each extra subdomain add a new Rewritecond AND RewriteRule



The code snippet was pulled from another thread on this forums, that Till pointed me to.
