Website configuration

Hello Community

I want to create a website (www.domain.tld) and another website (blog.domain.tld). So I registered the domain and configured it to my mac server. When I try to access www.domain.tld then it is working perfect. When I try to access blog.domain.tld or want to resolve it by dns tool then it tell me that this is not working.

I configured my DNS as follow in server.app

Primary zone: domain.tld

blog.domain.tld (Computer)

ftp.domain.tld (Alias)

domain.tld (Mail Exchange)

domain.tld (Name Server)

and my Website configuration:

1st:

www.domain.tld

IP Adress: 12.34.56.78 Port: 80

no SSL certificate

additional domain: domain.tld

2nd:

blog.domain.tld

IP Address: 12.34.56.78 Port 80

no SSL certificate

no additional domain

But still no access possible.

Any tips for me?

Thanks!

Who ever you registered the domain name with needs to point blog.domain.tld to your IP address. I use ipage for my domains. You can call or chat with them and ask them to point it for you. usually takes 12-24 to take effect once they make the change.

Hi,

I just bought MACOSX server 10.8 to centralise all my local domains in a real server.

Previsously I used to use hosts files and configured httpd files

Like that

127.0.0.1 website1.local

127.0.0.1 website2.local

127.0.0.1 website3.local

and in Vhost

DocumentRoot "/Users/xxx/Sites/website1"

ServerName website1.local

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

AllowOverride All

Order allow,deny

Allow from all

</Directory>

</VirtualHost>

DocumentRoot "/Users/xxx/Sites/website2"

ServerName website1.local

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

AllowOverride All

Order allow,deny

Allow from all

</Directory>

</VirtualHost>

Problem I need to acces on my local website on some computer. So I decided to use the DNS functions incudes into Macosx server.

But I can only declare 1 main domain and all vhost I want to add are not recognized when i add a new website from the interface.

Do you have a method to activate some multiples hosts ? Maybe a tutorial ?
