Hi i have the latest ISPConfig, and have a new server.

I'm a bit of a newb, but how do I configure a website to have the same IP address of the server? For example, I want to have a user have something like myserver.com/username and their website shows up.

An example for me would be myserver.com/joomla

Much thanks in advance,

Mike

Create a website myserver.com and then upload joomla to a directory named joomla in the website by e.g. ftp.

how do i access it?

For example, when I go to http://myserver I get a 404 not found, or i get the ISPConfig index website.

is it possible to access http://myserver/myserver.com/joomla ?

what am i missing?:confused:

one additional thing.

If I create a directory outside of ISPConfig in the /var/www/html/ i can access that... for example if i create joomla... in /var/www/html/joomla then when I type http://myserver/joomla it works.

my ISPConfig directories are not being created in the ../html directory, but one /var/www/

thoughts?

When you create a web site www.example.com in ISPConfig, you must type www.example.com in your browser as well (because ISPConfig is creating name-based vhosts), you cannot use another domain or an IP address.

Thanks for your response!

I think that would mean that this server would have to be the DNS server for all of the other computers on the network .. correct?

No. This just measn that the domain that you use for the website has to exist in a dns server that is used by your computer.
