Creating a subdomain..?

[tilleritova]

Hi...
I need a step by step assistance to make subdomain for my Webserver.
Can anyone guide me how to do that?

my domain name is stoll.nu

Thanks!

[deepsurfer]

OK.. i see you are using XAMPP 1.5.2 for Windows

at first, i understand with "subdomain" this call -->
sub1.stoll.nu
sub2.stoll.nu

second, make of all work a backup, if anything dont work you can in seconds bring back you server to the normal level !

excuse me, i dont know the exact path of you server, you need to change it for yourself.

Edit the httpd.conf, find the line
#Include /conf/extra/httpd-vhost.conf
delete the " # " , saving.

now edit the \xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhost.conf

COPY/PASTE from here all lines into the end of the httpd-vhost.conf

Code: Select all

NameVirtualHost *:80
#This is the first VHOST for you content stoll.nu
#change the path to your pathes of content
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName stoll.nu
    ServerAlias www.stoll.nu
    ServerAdmin webmaster@stoll.nu
    DocumentRoot c:/xampp/htdocs/stollnu/
<Directory "c:/xampp/htdocs/stollnu">
        AllowOverride All
        Options IncludesNoExec
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

#This is the first SUBdomain with his own Path for content
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName sub1.stoll.nu
    ServerAlias www.sub1.stoll.nu
    ServerAdmin webmaster@stoll.nu
    DocumentRoot c:/xampp/htdocs/sub1stollnu/
<Directory "c:/xampp/htdocs/sub1stollnu">
        AllowOverride All
        Options IncludesNoExec
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

#This ist the next SUBdomain with own Path of content
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName sub2.stoll.nu
    ServerAlias www.sub2.stoll.nu
    ServerAdmin webmaster@stoll.nu
    DocumentRoot c:/xampp/htdocs/sub2stollnu/
<Directory "c:/xampp/htdocs/sub2stollnu">
        AllowOverride All
        Options IncludesNoExec
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Usefull Thinks:
If you have LOGfile enable, COPY the logfile generation from you httpd.conf and PASTE it in your VHOST (below the DocumentRoot xxxx)
Seperate for any VHOST (SubDomain) with his own logfilename or logfilepath or both.

After editing the httpd-vhost.conf and the httpd.conf you must restart the XAMPP-Apache.
If he dont start, the first think are aviable.
- Any Pathes in the VHOST are incorect or missing

But the startscript must write whats wrong

If you have no time to fix, bring back the backup of httpd.conf and start XAMPP-Apache that your content is aviable.

hope my english is good enough to understand me.

Sorry, but i wrote

"""COPY/PASTE from here all lines into the end of the httpd-vhost.conf"""


why you dont doing that ????????

you only change the correct pathes to your content folders, not any more.

If you ony use one subdomain, delete the third VHOST entry (sub2.stoll.nu) and now you have a VHOST function with the main-content and in addition the sub1.stoll.nu

I hope you understand that the words "sub1" and "sub2" for your own choice of the subdomain-name is.

Hind:
The Apache works at this time with VHOST, the first VHOST ist the "mother" of the Server and build your main-content.
When a request can't resolved from apache, the apache jump to the first VHOST.

I write it with this Lines:
#This is the first VHOST for your content stoll.nu
#change the path to your pathes of content



Sorry, i will help, but User (you to) doing anything else, not what i write to help.....
If this my destiny, i going back into the german forum....

[tilleritova]

Well i wrote that i have done that as well but i still get error 403 Access denied.
And i have removed the # from Include /conf/extra/httpd-vhost.conf
Now my httpd-vhost looks like this:

[deepsurfer]

The given path was above the root path: Cannot map GET / HTTP/1.1 to file

Please check the foldernames, this message say me, that any wrong with Pathes.


EDIT: i see that you content ist still down..
editing httpd.conf
In the line
Include /conf/extra/httpd-vhost.conf
make a "#" before, save, restart xampp-apache

now your content is aviable.

If you checkt your httpd-vhost.conf (any edits), then edit the httpd.conf delete this "#" and start xampp-apache.

Now with this guide, you know that your content ist online and you have time to check messages.
Its nasty, but with this your timeout of content is relatively small

[tilleritova]

I have tried that now and with the # infromt my pages work.
I have checked the path and it is correct... but i still get Error 403 Access Denied

[deepsurfer]

have you inside c:/program/xampp/htdocs/ any .htaccess Files ????


I find message related to error.log with " LIMIT GET " options

[tilleritova]

yes i have a .htaccess file with my error 401 and error 404 info in the htdocs folder
but i have a lot .htaccess files inte other folders under htdocs

[sl_ime]

is there a possibility of implementing it on windows?

[tilleritova]

is there a possibility of implementing it on windows?

what do you mean!?

[sl_ime]

it was answered thanks.

[tilleritova]

Ok...

I ask the question again? why can´t i get the subdomains to work?!

Can anyone please help me..!??

[tilleritova]

I have heard that the problem with subdomains i have is a common problem that occurs with Xampp users?

Are there any developers och Experts that can solve this problem form me?

[tilleritova]

ok... yet a new question!?

Do i need to add to my DNS that the subdomain must go to my ipadress?

example: if i set sub1.stoll.nu on my server as above. do i need to set an A record to my domain name?
