Wildcard domain pointed to specific directory?

Gta-multi · May 10, 2017

Hi,

I wonder if it's possible to have a wildcard domain which points all the unset subdomains to one specific directory
All other existing just act normal

Example:
[table="width: 500, class: grid"]
[tr]
[td]Domain[/td]
[td]Directory[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]mydomain.com[/td]
[td]/public/myuser/domains/mydomain.com/public_html[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]www.mydomain.com[/td]
[td]/public/myuser/domains/mydomain.com/public_html[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]admin.mydomain.com[/td]
[td]/public/myuser/domains/mydomain.com/public_html/admin[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]randomSubDomain.mydomain.com[/td]
[td]/public/myuser/domains/mydomain.com/public_html/allsubs[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]anotherRandom.mydomain.com[/td]
[td]/public/myuser/domains/mydomain.com/public_html/allsubs[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]anyOtherRandom.mydomain.com[/td]
[td]/public/myuser/domains/mydomain.com/public_html/allsubs[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]

The last three examples can be any string/subdomain.

I already tried something with "Custom HTTPD Configurations" but that didn't work well.

Any help?

Hello,

Check this:

- Wildcard *.domain.com
https://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=127

- Wildcard *.domain.com with Nginx
https://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=554

Yes i've tried that but can't get it to work like the example i gave.

We don't know what exactly did not work for you. The guide is working, I've tested it some time earlier.
The order of subdomains is very important here. Your wildcard should be the lowest in config file.

Kindly provide your httpd.conf/nginx.conf for a specific domain (as how you have it), or get someone to configure it for you. There is no other way to help you.

My custom httpd.conf for the domain is:

Code:

|*if SUB|
    |?DOCROOT=/home/myuser/domains/mydomain.com/public_html/allsubs/public|
    ServerAlias *.|DOMAIN|
|*endif|

|*if !SUB|
    |?DOCROOT=/home/myuser/domains/mydomain.com/public_html/public|
|*endif|

I'm using laravel, thats why it needs to use to the public folder

zEitEr · May 18, 2017

Kindly provide entire config for a domain in order to see whether or not DOCROOT changes on your server.

I noticed the problem.

By default directadmin adds the subdomain name after the document root. If i want laravel to work i can't have that.

Code:

|*if SUB="rooster"|
    ServerAlias *.|DOMAIN|
    |?DOCROOT=/home/myuser/domains/mydomain.com/public_html/rooster/public|
|*endif|

Code:

AH00112: Warning: DocumentRoot [/home/myuser/domains/mydomain.com/public_html/rooster/public/rooster] does not exist
AH00112: Warning: DocumentRoot [/home/myuser/domains/mydomain.com/public_html/rooster/public/rooster] does not exist
Syntax OK

Those are the errors i get because of the added "rooster" thing.

Try and add

Code:

|*if SUB="rooster"|
	[FONT=Verdana]DocumentRoot [/FONT][FONT=Verdana]|HOME|/domains/|DOMAIN|/public_html/|SUB|/public
[/FONT]|*endif|

into CUSTOM 2 section in Directadmin.

Thanks that works perfectly!

Just one more question. Is it also possbile to assign an private ip to this wildcard subdomain.
So the normal site goes through 12.34.56.78 and the wildcard goes to 12.34.56.79
With this method i can point any domain with an A record to 12.34.56.79 to the wildcard directory

zEitEr · May 23, 2017

That might be something like:

Code:

|*if SUB="rooster"|
    |?IP=1.2.3.4|
|*endif|

in the top custom section

Wildcard domain pointed to specific directory?
