Question,
is there a way to have domain.xyz/folder/folder point to beta.domain.xyz without having to make a new virtual server?
Thank you
You don’t need public_html but you will need a forward slash first.
Worked for me. so your not using ssl?
No I am not. trying to redirect to a http domain
and you can publicly access the destination at http://
So what im and noticing when i do the redirect from website redirect and do that /webplayer/folder point it do http://player.domain.xyz it’s pointing to my public_html index.html and not that specific folder.
@Joe Do you have any solution to my issue?
Thank you sir!
So you want /webplayer/folder/ to act as a root directory. That not a redirect, more of a alias.
So http://player.domain.xyz to show the content http://domain.xyz/webplayer/folder/
bit confused on what your trying to do.
Yes thats exactly what im trying to do. Sorry its different on virtualmin
I can’t see anyway around not having to create a new virtualserver as apache need to know that domains name to service the request to the directory. Joe might know more.
Trying to avoid having to make a new virtual server
This can be done but it’s not the easiest thing to do. This assumes your using Apache2
- make sure you have an A record in your dns like *.parentdomain.com that points to the correct IP address
- use webmin apache module to create a new virtual server (this just creates the config and not a new virtual server) and copy the directives from the parent server
- open the newly created ‘virtual host’ in the apache module and edit it to be like this and only this delete everything else
DocumentRoot /home/username/public_html/fred
ServerName fred.parentdomain.com
ErrorLog /var/log/virtualmin/fred.parentdomain.com_error_log
CustomLog /var/log/virtualmin/fred.parentdomain.com_access_log combined
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/username/cgi-bin/
ScriptAlias /awstats/ /home/username/cgi-bin/
DirectoryIndex index.php index.php4 index.php5 index.htm index.html
<Directory /home/username/public_html/fred>
Options -Indexes +IncludesNOEXEC +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
allow from all
AllowOverride All Options=ExecCGI,Includes,IncludesNOEXEC,Indexes,MultiViews,SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Require all granted
</Directory>
<FilesMatch \.php$>
SetHandler proxy:unix:/var/php-fpm/1654855289420427.sock|fcgi://127.0.0.1
# if using parent directives this should be set for you if not check for the correct file if using php
</FilesMatch>
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
I have used username & parentdomain.com in this example you would replace these with the actual values
then test fred.parentdomain.com to check it is serving the correct content
Where would i find the apache module?
Webmin->servers->apache
Why are you trying to avoid that?
Well I was trying to 301 redirect a folder off the main domain to a different domain thats on virtualmin but thats pointing to the same ip address via snapshot, but when I do it with this configuration it keeps going to the public_hmtl
