issue with hostname and 1st virtual server

I am using 3.66.gpl GPL on a CentOS Linux 5.2 server.

I installed VM using the install script, was prompted to enter a fully qualified hostname (for instance, 'example.com) and can now access VM on https://www.example.com:10000

home directory for example.com is /var/www/html

... so far, so good.

Now when I create a first Virtual Server: 'example1.com', VM will successfully complete the creation process.

and home directory for my virtual server is /home/example1/public_html

... all is good here.

Only trouble is that example.com now seems to be also redirecting to /home/example1/public_html instead of /var/www/html previously.

Both example.com and example1.com now seem to be sharing the same home directory: /home/example1/public_html

Obviously, I must be missing an important setting here...

How can I change this and make sure that my hostname keeps pointing to the original /var/www/html?<br><br>Post edited by: gambit, at: 2009/02/26 23:09

You don't.
Once you create domains, they go to /home
Normally the first domain to create is the FQDN, i.e example.com.

You can just create it and it will be also under /home

/home/example.com/
/home/example1.com/

hostname is normally 3 parts like server1.example.com
however you can try to switch awstats off for that domain, create the server and switch it back on.
not sure about the outcome though

Thanks!

However, when after specifying example.com as hostname, I want to create a Virtual Server named example.com, i got this from VM:

'Failed to create virtual server : AWstats reporting is already enabled for this domain'

What should i do?

Disable the AWstats option for the domain example.com?
