Hi all, I looked over the httpd.conf and vhosts files that ISPConfig outputs but wasn't able to answer this question for myself (and couldn't find it among the archives). I've just set up a site for someone (say, foo.com) using ISPConfig, and the base directory for that website will be /var/www/web3/web/. It'll be a day or so until DNS changes fully propagate so that foo.com actually resolves to this ISPConfig-based server. In the meantime, is there a IP address-based URL via which the user can view his site as he works on it? E.g., something in the spirt of ~user that works for individual users' homepages, like 1.2.3.4/~web3webdir?) If nothing works out of the box, I know I can just copy and tweak the VirtualHost in /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf. Or I can have the user modify his PC's \windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file. But I'm wondering if there's a better solution (that won't get blown away if I then make changes to the server via ISPConfig). Thanks! Andrew
Hi! You could make a .bat file for example dns.bat and write a line like this into it: Code: echo 195.136.127.12 www.client.pl >> C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts and then send it to Your clients.The path above is for Windows XP. Unfortunetly it differs in other Windows systems.
Yea, but what about you want to call a certain URL on the server itself? I mean, let's suppose you have a cron job which calls an URL on a virtual host hosted on the server. The virtual host should be accesible with it's name (like www.virutalhost.com)? This doesn't work on my system so I guess I should use something like http://localhost/~virtualhost/. Thanks!
