multiple domains on one hosting

[explido]

Hello!

Is it possible in any way to point multiple domains on one wehspace? So that "test1.de", "test2.de" and "test3.de" use the same content.

I don't want to forward "test2.de" and "test3.de" to "test1.de".

I hope you understand what I mean.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Plesk doesn't have domain aliasing, so you'll either have to manually add this or use the domain forwarding.

But isn't that a standard feature on such configuration tools? I think Confixx does it. I think this is a standard feature!

Is there a chance SWsoft implement this?

Just drop a vhost.conf in the domains conf folder use:

ServerAlias Domainb.com
ServerAlias www.Domainb.com


then as root run

/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng --reconfigure-vhost --vhost-name=<domain_name>

replace <domain_name> with the domain you made the vhost.conf file for.

This will reconfigure the httpd.include file for that domain, it will see the vhost.conf file you made and tell the httpd.include file to include the vhost.conf file

after running this command you should be able to open the httpd.include file that is in the conf directory with the vhost.conf file and near the bottom you should see a include statement for the vhost.conf file

then restart the httpd service and your done

Love it

Great! Just what I need. Almost. Now how do I get mail to be accepted the same way?

ie [email protected] gets mail sent to [email protected]

I know that I can edit the apache files. But what do I have PLESK for? I think PLESK should do that, I think that should be a standard feature.

On Confixx for example this feature exists!

You're right, this should be a standard feature thats already included in several other control panels, but then again, some like cpanel may have domain aliases, but don't have the domain forwarding options that plesk does. Plesk has an option to use inline frames to make it appear the domains are aliased when they're not.

Sounds like an excuse

A redirect in a web browser does, in no way, simulate a ServerAlias. The fact that it is one line in a vhosts file and then a rebuild just means that the Pleak people haven't really thought about it in the UI. Hopefully, knowing that it is only a minor change that doesn't even need much of an interface update, they will add it - in integrate it into the DNS and mail portions as well.

Speaking of which, has anyone figured out a domain alias type of thing for mail in Plesk? I have experience with sendmail and postfix - never qumail.

Anyone know if changing the /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains file is the key?

Hi

Ive been having the same problem and came across

http://forum.ev1servers.net/showthread.php?t=55333

In summary to add a mail domain alias

1. Add the alias to /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts
2. Edit /var/qmail/virtualdomains to add the domain e.g

domain.com:[virtual#id]

where "virtual#id" corresponds to the integer of the virtual domain that this domain is aliasing (this id is already specified in the same file).

3. Restart qmail "service qmail restart"

I tested on mine and seems to work fine.

Thank you

I should have posted this awhile ago when I figured it out. You are exactly correct.
