Hi everybody,
I'm new to Plesk, and despite hours or even days of research, I did not find how to accomplish this simple thing I can do with "standard" hostings :
- Create a new subdomain thanks to a vhost in sites-enabled and sites-available
- That subdomain uses the same application folder as the main domain
- The vhost allows me to define subdomain-specific SetEnv directives
For example :
I want fr.mydomain.com to use the same files as www.mydomain.com do, but I want to define a SetEnv directive defining the language to use for displaying the website.
(I have a 1&1 hosting)
According to what I found online, I tried to create a vhost.conf in my main domain conf folder, without creating a subdomain in Plesk (though it is created in 1&1 interface). The problem is, my subdomain seems to be "located" in the "default" directory (in /var/www/vhosts/default/). (ok a solution would be to make my main domain linked to that default dir, but I don't like that idea)
Then I tried to create a subdomain in Plesk and define the same directory as my main domain in the creation form (to force Plesk to use the same dir), but it still created a new folder in /var/www/vhosts/ and hitting the URL got me the default 1&1 "new website" landing page.
I am really unsure on how to do that simple task...
Any help will be greatly appreciated !
(waiting for a reply, I tried to CNAME my subdomain in the 1&1 interface to my main domain -- worth a try -- but I of course have to wait for DNS propagation)
Thank you all !
EDIT : of course before posting I also read the plesk documentation : http://download1.parallels.com/Ples...nistration-guide/index.htm?fileName=68625.htm , but it only deals about some weird vhost templates I did not grab a thing about, maybe due to my bad english or else
