So i did that domain 1 resolves perfect all ways ( vewing page via Virtualmin GUI option and normal browsing)
Domain 2 … I can view the index page via the virtualmin gui but when browse normally as would be for web, i get the apache default page.
i can run 2 websites pointing to the same ip address right or do i have to create a whole new dns setup?
OK - so Domain 1 is fine & Domain 2 is awol.
Does
sudo apachectl -t
return OK? And does
sudo apachectl -S
now show that extra block for Domain 2? And is the DNS for Domain 2 correctly set up? i.e. the A records point to your VPS\Server?
seems to be awol yes - Created an A - Record pointing only to the ip for 2nd domain ( for testing )
Syntax OK
then:
sudo apache2ctl -S

You are missing the 2nd record for www - not the cause of the issue, but you might as well put it in place.
And
sudo apachectl -t
returns OK?
im just adding the A record for the subdomain www
i guess that will take a lil while.
Syntax OK - returned
If you are using a Windows PC\Laptop - you could always add an entry into the hosts file for now - saves you waiting. I think Macs might do something similar.
I dont think i need to edit that at all - this seems to be very strange i do say!
ive been following every doc and video from JOE etc on youtube to get the grasp of Virtualmin DNS etc for a while now, never had issues before tbh
If you are running DNS\BIND on the server - then probably not.
yes bind is running but i am starting to think maybe it could be the issue.
Unlikely - if your domain is resolving at the moment, so should be OK.
Back onto Domain2 being awol - can you post up the Virtual Hosts block for Domain 2?
port 80 namevhost platoonarena.net (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/platoonarena.net.conf:1)
alias www.platoonarena.net
alias mail.platoonarena.net
alias webmail.platoonarena.net
alias admin.platoonarena.net
If you go to Webmin >> Servers >> Apache Webserver >> Click on Global Config >> Edit Config Files >> Pull the drop down to /etc/apache2/sites-available/platoonarena.net.conf and click edit directives in file
and post up what it says there.

Just ran a quick intodns…
could PTR records be a problem, if so how do i edit again in Virtualmin?
I don’t think the lack of a PTR or an incorrect one would cause Apache issues. Would cause issues with outgoing mail.
Looking at your Virtual Hosts file - I’m looking at one of mine and nothing jumps out on yours that would suggest Apache effectively ignoring your Virtual Hosts block and displaying the default page from /var/www/html/index.html
sudo apachectl -t
Says Syntax OK?
it does - so okay i think we may be pressing the issue.
Where should the Virtual Serves be as that path you gave me has thinking as i thought when you set up a new virtual server it creates a new folder within the /home directory ??
it seems browsing the file manager i have within /home
Domain1 with its own folders and Domain2 and its own folders. Coming out of that /var also has the /var/www/html folder also with a file named index.html when downloaded and viewed gives the apache default page.
Im so confused.
That’s as expected\correct - a folder in the /home directory with the name of the admin user for the Virtual Server.
So guessing this isnt the problem then.
Again thanks for sticking with me
If you select the Virtual Server (Domain 2) in the drop down - go to Server Configuration >> Website Options
what’s the Default Website for IP address - set to?
And
sudo apachectl -S
lists both domains?
it was set to all-pc so i set to yes.
Now from sudo apachectl -S =

Do your Apache logs for the Virtual Server (Domain2) say anything when you try to reach the page there?
