vhost.conf www prefix

[edvxpert]

Hi,

I want to access the webmail by www.webmail.domain.com, too. What changes are needed?
And how can I setup subdomains that are pointing to external domains?

Thanks in advance!

This can be done with a rewrite rule only, not with an alias because the webmail directives are not written in the per domain httpd.include files.

Hi,

I have created a vhost.conf with the following content:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteMap lowercase int:tolower
ServerAlias www.webmail.xyz.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.webmail\.xyz\.com$
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://webmail.xyz.com/$1 [L,R]
</IfModule>

But it doesn't work....

The following has been tested to work to redirect 'www.webmail.domain.com' to 'webmail.domain.com'. Add the following to the domain's vhost.conf file (if you don't have one, then create one in /home/httpd/vhosts/domain.com/conf)

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteMap lowercase int:tolower
ServerAlias www.webmail.yourdomain.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.webmail.yourdomain.com$
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://webmail.yourdomain.com/$1 [R,L]
</IfModule>

I did have to clear the browser cache, and I believe I had to add a DNS record (one or other of the following):
Can be either a CNAME or A record.

www.sub.domain.com. CNAME sub.domain.com.

www.sub.domain.com. A xx.yy.zz.nn

[Edited: to add additional details and to be more clear on location of file]

Where do u add this ? in the httpd.include? where???

 

[jamesyeeoc]

In the domain's vhost.conf file

Thank you.

the acctual job of rewrite is to change the url the user sees on the browser right ?

It doesn't work! I am redirected to the default plesk page... it seems, that plesk doesn't use the users vhost.conf.

when u create a vhost file u have to run a commmand to make apache actual ¨read¨ the vhost file.
did u do that?

For security reasons, only root can create the vhost.conf and vhost_ssl.conf files.

For the changes to take effect, you need to run the following:

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

 

[edvxpert]

No, what do I have to do?

 

[MaRiOs]

read my previous post )

 

[jamesyeeoc]

According to Plesk, you should do that command.

 

[edvxpert]

I've tried it but it is still the same situation. :-(

In the logfile httpsd_error.log there is apache 1.3.33 started. Is this correct? I think apache2 is installed...

 

[MaRiOs]

Strange i think plesk 7.5.3 uses apache 2 for his users....

 

[edvxpert]

What else can I do to tell plesk to use the vhost.conf?

 

[jamesyeeoc]

First, what is your OS?

Next, from a SSH prompt, do:

rpm -q httpd

and see if you have Apache2 installed, should show something like:

httpd-2.0.40-21.17.legacy

(may not be the exact version) Post your results here.
