Non-Domain users/web sites

[karmacop]

Hi

Id like to setup a configuration whereby i can offer some of my users webspace without needing their own domain.

Id like it so that they could use a subdomain of one of my domains i.e.

username.mydomain.com

or a subfolder of my main domain

mydomain.com/username

This is simlar to how some of the 'free hosting' companies like geocities do it.

Any ideas?

You can use the user web feature of ISPConfig, but i would recommend that you create a website for each of your users.

Simply add a website for each user with:

host: username
domain: mydomain.com

Then go to the co-domain tab and delete the co-domain mydomain.com that ISPConfig has created automatically.

Infos to the user web feature are in the manual.

Sorry to sound a bit stupid, but what do u mean by the user web feature ?

ISPConfig manual:

http://www.ispconfig.org/downloads/m...nde_en_src.htm

2.2.9 Home Directory of a User

Every user of a site has his own home directory in the folder "user". For example, the user "testuser" has the home directory "user/testuser". If FTP access is allowed for the site a user (if he is not the site administrator, see chapter III-2.2.1) will find himself in his home directory after the FTP login (thus "user/testuser").

In every home directory you can find the folder "web" whose contents can be reached through the internet via

http://www.domain.tld/~testuser/

or

http://www.domain.tld/users/testuser/ ,

where "testuser" and "www.domain.tld" have to be replaced appropriately. .

I'm using my server only in local network but I cannot see my sites
for example
my ip is 192.168.100.10
my created site is gruppo.com
my user for this site is web1_bono

whit the browser I'm going on this page
http://192.168.100.10/users/web1_bono
or this http://192.168.100.10/~web1_bono

but ther is onli a 404 page, why?

I can see correctly only this page
http://192.168.100.10/

you would need to edit your /etc/hosts file to show that site locally

ie:
on windows xp pro

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\

edit the hosts file and add the following line;

192.168.100.10 gruppo.com

the result is the same and I suppose that the problem is another, infact I see the common home page with the title shared IP This IP address is shared. In order to approach the situated one that tries, you insert its distance. For questions or problems contacted the administrator of the server.


this is my lan:
server with ispconfig 192.168.100.10
server for storage 192.168.100.10
my pc
my pc2
my pc3
etc.
if i want see my site on server with ispconfig, must I insert this line on all pc of the lan?

[omni]

yes, you'd need to enter that line on each of your pc,pc2,pc3,etc in order to see your site locally on the lan. if you have gui on the server then you need to make an entry into the /etc/hosts file there as well.

ok, it's perfect, thanks
