Cannot create new sites as subdomains of main site

[mick]

Hi,

I've got a domain.com (working fine) and I want to create a site in subdomain.domain.com. I tried to create new user accout and new site:
hostname: subdomain
domain: domain.com
FTP and user account works fine but subdomain.domain.com displays nothing. What's wrong?

Please make sure that you create the correct DNS records for the subdomain.

I checked "Create DNS record" which creates "A record" in domain.com with host as "subdomain". Nothing happens, site still won't display. (?)

You will have to create the DNS records on the authoritive DNS server. This is not nescessarily the local server.

How to find out which one is "authoritive"?

Run
dig ns yourdomain.com

I sent an e-mail to my provider and he added new record. Everything is okay now. Thank you. :-)

I've got new question: I want to add new user with account pointing to domain.com/his-site/. How to set it in ispconfig?

I want to add new user with account pointing to domain.com/his-site/.
Do you mean the user's home directory? This cannot be modified in ISPConfig. You'd have to create that user manually - but make sure you use a UID below 10000 so that it doesn't conflict with users created by ISPConfig.
