Create a Subdomain

[PortMan]

I have ISPConfig installed and working. Now, I want to create a subdomain but an not clear on all the steps required to do it.

I have my domain registered at GoDaddy.

Currently, I have www.domain.com configured at GoDaddy using "Total DNS Control" manager. How do I create http://dev.domain.com on my server and point GoDaddy to it?

I see the "co-domains" on the ISPConfig tab, and can create the "dev.domain.com" but then what? It doesn't create a folder for me to upload to. Can someone explain to me the steps?

Thanks.

So did you find out how to create a subdomain, I'm in the same boat as you, queit new to ISPconf.

This ISPcong is alot different to what I was using.

Subdomain (in ISPConfig named co-domain) points always to the same folder then the website it belongs to. To point it to another location you can enter the directory where it shall point to in the options of the co-domain.

If you want your subdomain to have a own root folder, just create a new website for the subdomain.

Thanks, I've been at it for a while now and cant make heads or tails out of it.

This ISPconfig is way out of my league for now, I'll stick to the easyier stuff, thanks for the support.

In ISPConfig add a Co-Domain
with Hostname "dev" and Domain "domain.com"
To point it to another directory switch to forward and type in "dev".
You should then create a directory "dev" within the "web" directory on your server.

To point to it the DNS should contain a CNAME of "dev.domain.com" and be directed to "domain.com"

I have the same problem.

I created co-domain, also created folder with same name, but still can't get the right result when I type the address in web browser. Why?

Co-domains never create folders, they where a alias for the main domain. If you want to have a separate filder, create a new website instead of a co-domain.

Maybe this is the problem. My friends can't see www.puran.si. I can (from my computer). ?!?!??!

Thanks, Tilen
