Setting up a virtual host in Webmin

Question

I set up a virtual host in a Linux server running Webmin 1.580. I gave it a server name and a document root directory. How do I access the website under the virtual host from the internet?

Am I supposed to type the server's IP address and then the name? That's not working. It says:

Error - File not found

Is there anything else I need to do to make my site live on the server?

Answer 1

You should probably be using Virtualmin, in addition to Webmin, if you're going to be doing web hosting with the system. It makes most elements of the process a lot easier. The installation script will install all of the additional software you need (like BIND), and provides a friendlier GUI for web hosting tasks.

You can download it here: http://www.virtualmin.com/download

It is available in a free Open Source version, and is developed by the same people as Webmin.
