Domain issues

[mphayesuk]

Ok what I have done is pointed portal.xxxxxx.co.uk to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (my web server) from my current ISP/Domain Host. How do I point this portal address to go to the ISPConfig page on my server.

Thanks

Have you created a new client in ISPConfig and then a new website with the host: portal and the domain: xxxxxx.co.uk ?

[mphayesuk]

No but I will when I get back on the server. What do I do when I have created a new site for portal.xxxxx.co.uk and created all the web folders.

Thanks

Ok I have created a site for the portal.xxx.co.uk

Now what do I do???

You have to create a DNS record (A Record) for portal.xxx.co.uk that points to the IP address of your ISPConfig server.

Is that a DNS record created using ISPConfig. Can that DNS record also point to a port number.

If your ISPConfig machine is authoritative for your domain, then yes. If someone else manages your DNS records, then you have to tell him to do this, and if you've bought managed DNS services, then there should be some kind of web interface where you can create your A Record.

No.

Ok portal.xxx.xo.uk is pointed to my ISPConfig server.(DNS A Records at my ISP)

There is a site on ISPConfig for portal.xxx.xo.uk

So how do I make the portal address go to the ISPConfig config pages that are on https://xx.xx.xx.xx:81

Thanks

You must create an A Record for portal.xxx.xo.uk that points to your IP address
xx.xx.xx.xx. Afterwards you can use your domain portal.xxx.xo.uk to access ISPConfig: https://portal.xxx.xo.uk:81
