I need to build a domain parking solution for a client, where client will add his/her domain from an application interface I provide. while I can add the domain and website using ISPCONFIG API, but this will create a separate webroot outside of the application. what I want is like for example the website is pardomain.com and webroot is Code: /var/www/parkdomain.com/web/ or /var/www/client1/web1/web/ now when a new domain is added from the application interface for parking - example xyz.com. I want a directory created inside - Code: /var/www/client1/web1/web/xyz.com and apache2 pointing to this folder for xyz.com. is it possible? if yes how I can achieve it.
What you want may be possible, but I do not know how to do it with ISPConfig API. From ISPConfig Panel it would be done with Aliasdomain for website and point to a subdirectory of the website. Is there a reason for such a complicated setup? If client wants to park domain xyz.com, why not just create website xyz.com for that client?
Hi Taleman, Reason is, the parked domain will contain ADS, affiliate banners, which will be easier for me to manage the pages if it is inside my main website.
Note you must use a vhost alias domain for this. Just create one in the ispconfig interface, then use that as an example of what goes in the various fields when adding via the api.
Hi Jesse, I am little confused, as what I know is vhost alias is used to access the same website with a different name, whereas what I want is independent website in the browser, just pointing to the folder inside my main website. is it clear, will it work this way?
A vhost alias domain is what you need, the behavior you have in mind is for a non-vhost alias domain.
