How do I assign an IP to a single domain?

[Zagorax]

Hi,

I'm going to buy an SSL certificate for one of my domain. As far as I've understood I need a dedicated IP for that domain (which is actually a subdomain). I added a free IP to DirectAdmin via IP management in the admin area and I've assigned that IP to myself (user admin).

Do I have to manually modify the virtual host conf for that domain, or is there any way to do it via DirectAdmin?

Cheers,
Francesco

Hello,

You should create a new account (add user) in directadmin with dedicated (private) IP with a domain (which is actually a subdomain).

Still, there's something I don't understand about it.

If I create a new user, since I need the subdomain on ssl, the user has to have the main domain, too, otherwise it won't allow me to create a new subdomain for that domain. Isn't it?

But in this case, again, I'll have two website on the same reserved ip address, so SSL won't work the same.

You should add a sub-domain as a regular domain.

To clarify... for some time now DirectAdmin has allowed a user to have more than one IP#, and always more than one domain.

That's the best way to do it; no manual intervention require.

That's all true, if you've got enabled

check_subdomain_owner=1

It is "Check domain owner for Subdomain creation" option on Administrator settings page in Directadmin.

Just disable it temporary and create an user with a sub-domain, later you'll be able to enable it back.

Sorry, I'm not sure I got what you're saying.

I've done it as zEitEr suggested with a separate user with a different ip. It's working.

Was it possible to do it differently? How?
