how to view a website via IP address rather than hostname??? - NetworkExpertise - 06-27-2008 01:50 AM
I need the ability to view a clients website before its moved over to my servers via the virtual ip of my server. In the past I have had this working with other hosting software where I type in the url http://0.0.0.0/~customer. Please help.

AFAIK this feature is not implemented. The easiest solution that comes to my mind would be adding "{DMN_NAME}.your.server.tld" to the "/etc/ispcp/apache/parts/dmn_entry.tpl" ServerAlias directive, regenerate the domain configurations (wiki explains how) and set *.your.server.tld to always resolve as your server IP (this step depends on how you manage your server's fqdn).
After doing this you should be able to access customer accounts as "customer.dmn.your.server.tld".

You can also enable userdir module in apache, and change its configuration to point to users htdocs directory, then you can access through http://ip/~cutomer_domain
For more info: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_userdir.html

mod_userdir won't work because of the different permissions (fastcgi / suexec)
We suggest using the http://cust-domain.your-domain.tld approach like kilburn already suggested.

I didn't noticed that, I am using mod_userdir already for a directory based (/~user) server and as you claim I am gonna be in trouble.
Since i cant use sub-domains, What do you recommend for this situation? (domain.com/~user or domain.com/user)

This is valid in "/etc/ispcp/apache/parts/dmn_entry.tpl" ?
ServerAlias www.{DMN_NAME} {DMN_NAME} *.server.foo.net
thanks

no, it should be:
ServerAlias www.{DMN_NAME} {DMN_NAME} {DMN_NAME}.server.foo.net

kilburn Wrote:no, it should be:yes it's correct
ServerAlias www.{DMN_NAME} {DMN_NAME} {DMN_NAME}.server.foo.net
{DMN_NAME}.server.foo.net
=
e.g. sub.domain.com.server.foo.net
domain.com.server.foo.net
and zones?
Code:
>
A/AAAA Records
Host Name IP Address TTL
* xxx.192.70.xxx defaultis correct?
