Domain accessed in browser only with IP, not with domain name.

Virtualmin

Hello,

I have a VPS with 2 available IPs and totally 5 Virtual servers.

IPs:

  • 1.2.3.1

  • 1.2.3.2

Domains:

I had created the 4 first domains using the default IP and I wanted to create the 5th domain (sub.example2.com) by assigning the second available IP.

When the installation of the virtual server finished i could access the domain via browser only by typing the IP address. When i type the domain name in the browser, i get the main domain page (example1.com) which was first created in the VPS (the default virtual server).

What i am trying to is to create sub.example2.com virtual server with the new IP 1.2.3.2 and also send mails coming from user@sub.example2.com from the same IP (1.2.3.2).

Could you please help me correct this problem?

Thank you in advance,
Vasilis.

Howdy,

What i am trying to is to create sub.example2.com virtual server with the new IP 1.2.3.2 and also send mails coming from user@sub.example2.com from the same IP (1.2.3.2).

What you would want to do is, when creating the new Virtual Server – go into the “IP Address and Forwarding” section, and enter the new IP in the “Network interface” field.

Also, remember that when changing a domain’s IP address, your DNS may cache the old IP address for a day or two… so for testing, you may want to try it from a different computer.
