hey all -
lets say i have a brand-new server referred to as:
IdiotNewbieOne.com
and naturally i can pull up a webpage by accessing either this domain name or the IP number.
and in my httpd.conf file, i have the following:
ServerName www.idiotnewbieone.com
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"
now, i come along and install webmin and virtualmin. next, lets say i create a virtual-server and call it
IdiotNewbieTwo.com
next I create a very simple webpage in the new virtual-server area:
/home/idiotnewbietwo/public_html/index.php
my problem is i can no longer get to the IdiotNewbieOne.com pages, only the IdiotNewbieTwo webpages.
in other words, only IdiotNewbieTwo.com is visible when i refer to IdoitNewbieOne.com - and IdiotNewbieTwo.com works fine.
if i create a second virtual server, it works fine too. but the "parent" domain name no longer works.
please note too that when i delete all the virtual-servers, the parent webpage starts to work again.
ideas?
Howdy,
Yeah, once you install Virtualmin -- Apache is configured to serve web pages from /home.
My recommendation would be to add a new Virtual Server for "IdiotNewbieOne.com" within Virtualmin, and then copy your website from /var/www over to the new directory that's created for it under /home.
