how to configure www and ftp client account on Appliance - Web Stack

I can only offer very beginner help for www:

/var/www is the default web root.

Many people put folders inside to create...not virtual hosts, but separate sites.

So I may have /var/www/ampache --> http:/localhost/ampache

                        /var/www/limesurvey -->http://localhost/limesurvey

                        /var/www/elgg --> http://localhost/elgg

Another way is to configure a site in /etc/apache2/sites-available/  - use the existing files as a model. Then look up these commands for ubuntu and debian: a2ensite  and a2dissite.

The third way I know of is to add a file in /etc/apache2/conf.d/ create a file called mysite.conf and format it and tag it as apache2 expects, and you should have your virtual hosts.

Sorry to be so vague; I only have a vague understanding myself, always have to use reference sources, and always use existing files as templates. Here's one of many resources: http://www.control-escape.com/web/configuring-apache2-debian.html

All the best,

thanks for Youre support. it was handy since ive started to use this appliance.

Ive managed to place my 2 sites into two different folders. They are reachable when i use the following address:

http://<IP>/folder

now, I'd like to configure my domains, so the traffic from outside would point directly my folders, however the domain configuration only lets me to point the servers ip address, the rest (i mean the folder)should be done in .htaccess.

Where in the WebAdmin configuration i can configure the domains?

edit: generally, im looking for a WebAdmins manual guide.

okay. someone from the irc channel guided me how to solve my problem, which was very helpul, and i would like to share it if someone who meets something similar.

unfortunately the only way that im aware of it is to do it by the console.

For each domain create a configuration file over here: /etc/apache2/sites-available/

than edit it, and fill it with this:

1. NameVirtualHost www.example1.com:80
2.  
3. <VirtualHost www.example1.com:80>
4.         ServerAdmin webmaster@example1.com
5.         DocumentRoot /var/www/www.example1.com/
6. </VirtualHost>
7.  
8. <Directory /var/www/www.example1.com/>
9.         Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
10.         Order allow,deny
11.         allow from all
12. </Directory>
13.  
14. after that, disable the default configuration file:
15. a2dissite default
16.  
17. and start the new one:
18. a2ensite example1
19.  
20.  
21.
