DNS Issue?

[erich199]

Hi,

I'm new to DirectAdmin and I absolutely love it as a control panel for my server.

I was following the directions to enable wildstar subdomains to enable Wordpress Multisite. It seems it is working, as I'm able to create a site in the network and visit the admin dashboard of the subdomain without an issue. However; when I actually visit the subdomain (ie subdomain.domain.com) I get the standard "Apache is functioning normally" page. Is this due to a DNS issue?

Also, I've set up a custom vhost to give each new domain set up an A record for a roundcube "webmail.domain.com" for some reason, when I visit it, it's taking me to the main site wordpress sign up page?

Any help is greatly appreciated, I've been pulling my hair out over this and I'm sure it's something very simple I've overlooked.

Thanks again!

that may be virtual host problem.
for the first test
provide me the output of:

cat /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

<VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
#AliasMatch ^/~([^/]+)(/.*)* /home/$1/public_html$2

</VirtualHost>

I replaced my IP with x's

Hello,

Please check this guide: http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=127 and very very carefully this one: http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=92 (the latest might be not usable for CB 2.0, but the idea should be still working).

Thanks for your help.

It seems the wildcard domain with multisite was a DNS issue. Shortly after I posted for help, they started to work. However; the webmail domain isn't working but I'm still trying to hash it out.

First be sure the correct IP# is being returned.

Check DNS from any desktop, laptop, or server (command line):

nslookup SUBDOMIN.EXAMPLE.COM

where you replace this with the subdomain/domain pair not working for webmail.

Make sure the IP# returned is being directed to the server.

Make sure you can reach webmail this way:

http://1.2.3.4/webmail

where 1.2.3.4 is replaced by the IP# returned.

That should work and direct you to your webmail client.
If it does, then the problem may be in a change you made to the apache configuration files. If it doesn't work, then the problem may be in the way DirectAdmin routes domains to the proper aliases.
