how to setup domain via SSH

hello

i have dedicated server [ Debian/linux/ ], where isn't installed any control panel.

i'm using this server for my primary domain, but now decide to move to this server on of my domains too.

unfortunately, before this i "add domains" only via control panel, but as i know i can do it via SSH too (w/o any control panel).

can u give me any advice or give me url of tutorial with guide how to do it step by step.

i have experience of work via SSH, so knowing how to do, i'm sure i can do it myself.

thank you

 

Hey there,

First of all you need to locate your httpd.conf. Most likely, you'll find it in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.

slocate httpd.conf

Code (markup):

At the bottom of the file, append the following code sequence, changing it to suit your needs.

NameVirtualHost YOUR_VHOST_IP:80
<VirtualHost YOUR_VHOST_IP:80>
ServerAdmin YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS@domain.com
DocumentRoot /path/to/document/files/of/your/vhost
ServerName DOMAINNAME.com
ServerAlias www.DOMAINNAME.com
ErrorLog /path/to/logs/domainname.com-error_log
CustomLog /path/to/logs/domainnamecom-access_log common
</VirtualHost>

Code (markup):

Save your file and restart Apache.

service httpd restart

Code (markup):

It should be OK then
Good luck.

 

hello Etherfast

find my httpd.conf file here /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

but it was empty file !!!
is it possible?

btw, as i said i have primary domain which work on this server.

thank you

 

Let's have a look. Please paste the output of "slocate httpd.conf" first.

 

here is output of locate httpd.conf

/etc/apache2/httpd.conf
/etc/apache2/httpd.conf.save
/usr/share/doc/apache2.2-common/examples/apache2/original/httpd.conf.gz

Code (markup):

 

Great.
Have a look at this.

Was useful to a friend once.
Good luck,

 

Etherfast thanks

one question

as i said i have 1 domain setuped on this server. if i try to do as in writen in this tutorial, i must change whole settings for server? right ?

 

I'm not sure on what you're referring to. The already existent domain has its own settings in those files you're editing. Whatever you add to the configuration files has to be APPENDED to them, without changing whatever instructions already exist.

Have fun,

 

You need these things if anything is missing:

1. Apache
2. DNS server
3. FTP server
4. mail server
5. mySQL server
6. POP server and IMAP server
7. Patience

The DC might have been installed them for you but running with well isnt easy without a Control Panel.

 

hello inworx

as my previouse hoster is the worst hoster i even have seen (2 weeks ago, they sold their company to another guy), they install only apache2

mysql server, php 5 version i install myself.
do ifconfig (setup ip-s), and crontab.

>>2. DNS server
order managed dns server from my registrar.

so my primary domain (which is private one) work well.

what i need, is to add new domain to my account. IMHO Etherfast's tutorial is the best in my choice, the only think i'm a little afraid to do something wrong.

 

What about ftp? Wont you upload files? or wget is fine for you?

 

first of all ssh is fine for me
2-nd i have winscp (soft like putty), which allow me to ftp files
