DirectAdmin on domain instead ip address

[Gander]

Hello.
I have some problem and maybe you could help me with this:

When I enter addres "my-domain.com:2222", I am redirected to global server ip ex: "87.98.158.xxx:2222" and there i can see login form to DA".

I want to set a new domain / subdomain to manage DA, ex: "my-cp-domain.com" or "cp.my-domain.com", where I would see login form to DA and I would not like to be redirected to global ip anymore, ex: http://panel.cyberix.pl/ or http://www.directadmin.com:2222/

Currently I use this trick: How to create a login page for DirectAdmin on your website.

I have been searching for a few hours in server, da help sites, and this forum, but without results.

Thank you in advance for any tip

I was trying this: Running DirectAdmin through apache on port 80, but after restart, apache was going down.

i used that help too and it worked perfect, what error apache give to u?

You can by default use any domain or subdomain hosted on the server to access DirectAdmin. http://www.example.com:2222 will work by default.

 

[SeLLeRoNe]

maybe used IP as hostname for directadmin and so everytime he redirect to http://IP:2222/ automatically.

but, sa ffloyd sayd every http://domain:2222/ log into pannel but if u dont wanna show the port so use the link u posted for make http://sub.domain/

 

[Gander]

Ok, I configure it again step-by-step and finally subdomains cp.* work

Redirecting still active: when I enter adress:
cp.mydomain.com I am redirected to global server ip again: "87.98.158.xxx:2222"

Maybe problem is in Canonical Names?

 

[SeLLeRoNe]

Should be yes or maybe some setup on the server hostname, cause when i use it for my customer the url remain always http://directadmin.domain

u should check directadmin conf file in /usr/local/directadmin/conf or /data/admin maybe

but that not depending on apache configuration, i think is something related to directadmin and his configuration

 

[Gander]

During reinstall DA I was (mayby) found reason of my problem: option to specify the redirect host value when http is used on an https protocol. Now, when install was finished, I don't have any problem with it.

Thanks for all posted replies.

 

[SeLLeRoNe]

so when u had ip instead of host u had https://IP right?

well, nice to know i didnt thot to this option enabled
