Same DocumentRoot, unique email domains.

[martinostlund]

Hello,

I have a situation where we need to be able to share the same code-base to multiple domains from the same public_html folder, but have separate email accounts on each domain.

Normally I would just add a domain pointer or use ServerAlias, but I need to add these as a separate domain to be able to have unique mail accounts for each.

How can I achieve this? I hope this can be done through DirectAdmin GUI and does not require SSH access, as one of our resellers needs to be able to do this theirself a couple of times a day.

/Martin

Hello,

Create domain, remove it's public_html and symbolic-link it to the correct public_html and do you're scripting.

Symlink Tutorial in Linux – How to Create and Remove a Symbolic Link

A symlink (also called a symbolic link) is a type of file in Linux that points to another file or a folder on your computer. Symlinks are similar to shortcuts in Windows. Some people call symlinks "soft links" – a type of link in Linux/UNIX systems – as opposed to

ln -s <path to the file/folder to be linked> <the path of the link to be created>

If you want to learn on how to create symlink check the reply from the user @johannes.

I'm replying only for the reason to warn you that symlinks will work only within one user account. You can not symlink folders between different users. If you need to share content between different users another solution should be used.
