    This is a small howto to generate a webdav directory as subdirectory (alias) inside a domain. It's maybe not the best way, but it is working without any problems on my server!
    ...


    Hello ;


    Thank you for this howto. ;) Can you create a ticket HERE to explain the interest of WebDav with a link to that thread? Such option can be added to iMSCP using engine addon and gui plugin.


    Thanks you for using i-MSCP


    Re ;


    Usage of the Apache ServerAlias directive for such thing (as Typo is able to do) make sense. Then I'll add that possibility. ;)

    Re ;



    - an own mount point for a unique website...
    - Redirect to another URL
    - (Apache) ServerAlias to an existing domain
    - plesk had this - but it's not really a needed option: iframe -> show another website in an iframe... (instead of redirect...)


    Well, I can do that. It's basically what I wanted do, excepted for the ServerAlias.


    iframe usage is for invisible redirections. It's a workaround that I don't really like but well, we can implements this later.



    Eg. TYPO3 can handle different domains to show different content - but the DocumentRoot have to be the same for all the domains - so (Apache) ServerAlias would be a good option.


    You can follow me?


    I follow you but usage of cms to manage other domains sound strange for me. I do not knows Typo so if you can provide me a test box, i'll be happy to see the behavior.

    I don't sayed, that you have to do the plugin. My idea was to create enought hooks, that users can code plugins, if they need something like that. I also thought about other hooks in another places... :)


    PS: Is there a docu with all existing hooks? :)


    Re ;


    Don't take my words in such way. I'm a little tired. Sorry if I seem rude :P


    Hooks list for both engine and gui will be provided in time (the list is big). I've so many work for now. ;) I'll document them like wordpress does. ;)


    Thanks you for using i-MSCP.


    Question - would it be possible to add the Entity (Alias or Subdomain) as "ServerAlias" to an existing domain.


    This would allow for example to manage Several domains in one CMS... (same mount point).


    It's possible but can pose some SEO problem (duplicate content). That for generally, we are using HTTP redirections.



    Would also be the time to use the word "Alias" in a more correct way... :-)


    What is an alias for you ? A domain redirected to another one? And so, in such case, we must rename domain alias (as it's now) as domain and just allow the customer to set it as alias of domain(s), either with HTTP redirections (301 for permanent redirection or 302 for temporary redirection) or with the Apache ServerAlias directive (that is not really a redirection and causes some SEO problems due to duplicate content)?


    Read this http://www.aitechsolutions.net…veralias-redirection.html too please.


    Thanks for using i-MSCP.


    Hello ;


    Yes, I'll add that possibility, eg create static mount point for data but allow to switch to HTTP redirection without removing the data. ;)


    Thanks you for using i-MSCP.

    Some info about the update path I'm currently working:


    An update path based on the rules described below will be provided:


    • Any entity sharing a mount point will be moved in its own static mount point
    • If many entities share the same mount points (strictly identical), the first entity that has been created will be moved in its own static mount point and for the others, an HTTP redirection to the first entity will be set as 301 (permanent).
    • Mount points of entities for which an HTTP redirection is already set will be managed as follow:

      • If the mount point of the entity doesn't exists, the HTTP redirection will be set to 301 (permanent)
      • If the mount point of the entity exists and is free of any data, it will be deleted and the HTTP redirection will be set as 301 (permanent)
      • If the mount point of the entity exists and is not free of any data, the HTTP redirection will be set as 302 (temporary)



    Note: Here, an entity refers to either a domain alias or a subdomain.


    Thanks you for using i-MSCP.


    Hello ;


    Any mount point will now be static. If an user want provide same content for two domains, subdomain and so on, he can use HTTP redirections.


    See the following tickets to know why shared mount points feature will be removed. We have issues with that feature since VHCS and never get it fixed.
