Using Custom Vhost Entries for Webmail, MySQL, Etc.

[TGates]

You can use these custom vhost entries to customize sub-domains for various apps:

NOTICE: This could be vulnerable as the sub domains are not locked down using suhosin. Use at your own risk!


Module Admin>Apache Config>Override a Virtual Host Setting>[select domain]>Custom Entry
(Customize file/folder paths to work with your server setup.)
(NOTE: Do NOT add these sub-domains in the sub-domain module!)

Code:

Code:

</VirtualHost>

    # Configuration for phpMyAdmin - mysql.yoursite.tld
    <VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin webmaster[at]yoursite.tld
        DocumentRoot "/etc/sentora/panel/etc/apps/phpmyadmin/"
        ServerName mysql.yoursite.tld
        AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3 .php
        <Directory />
            php_admin_value open_basedir /etc/sentora/panel/etc/apps/phpmyadmin
            Options FollowSymLinks Indexes
            AllowOverride All
            Order Allow,Deny
            Allow from all
        </Directory>
    </VirtualHost>

    # Configuration for WebMail - webmail.yoursite.tld
    <VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin webmaster[at]yoursite.tld
        DocumentRoot "/etc/sentora/panel/etc/apps/webmail/"
        ServerName webmail.yoursite.tld
        AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3 .php
        <Directory />
            php_admin_value open_basedir # Alias for roundcube WebMail login
Alias "/webmail" "/etc/sentora/panel/etc/apps/webmail"
<Directory "/etc/sentora/panel/etc/apps/webmail/">
    php_admin_value open_basedir /var/sentora/temp/:/etc/sentora/panel/etc/apps/webmail:/var/sentora/logs/roundcube
    Options +FollowSymLinks -Indexes
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
</Directory>
            Options FollowSymLinks Indexes
            AllowOverride All
            Order Allow,Deny
            Allow from all
        </Directory>

You will also need to add them in your DNS registrar and in Sentora's DNS Manager module (add A records for each of mysql.yoursite.tld  and webmail.yoursite.tld, etc.)

NOTE: Changes may take up to 48 hours to work! Be patient

On Linux

Remember to add </VirtualHost> at the start

and no </VirtualHost> at the end

Webmail:

Code:

</VirtualHost>

# Configuration for WebMail
<VirtualHost *:80>
 ServerAlias webmail.*
 DocumentRoot "/etc/sentora/panel/etc/apps/webmail/"
 AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
 <Directory "/etc/sentora/panel/etc/apps/webmail/">
 Options +FollowSymLinks -Indexes
 AllowOverride All
 Require all granted
 </Directory> 

Phpmyadmin / Mysql

Code:

</VirtualHost>

# Configuration for PHPmyadmin   
<VirtualHost *:80>
 ServerAlias pma.*
 DocumentRoot "/etc/sentora/panel/etc/apps/phpmyadmin/"
 AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
 <Directory "/etc/sentora/panel/etc/apps/phpmyadmin/">
 Options +FollowSymLinks -Indexes
 AllowOverride All
 Require all granted
 </Directory>

Nice, thanks.

This is a trick for subdomains but I think in next release we would set a new way for SSL & such tricks instead of supporting those hacks. Let's see...

We will see in the future, but for now this works

Webmail:

Code:

</VirtualHost>

# Configuration for WebMail
<VirtualHost *:80>
 ServerAlias webmail.*
 DocumentRoot "/etc/sentora/panel/etc/apps/webmail/"
 AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
 <Directory "/etc/sentora/panel/etc/apps/webmail/">
 Options +FollowSymLinks -Indexes
 AllowOverride All
 Require all granted
 </Directory> 

Any idea why am i getting internal server error after doing this?

[TGates]

Code:

ServerAlias webmail.*

Possibly this line. I have tried it in the past also with no luck, I settled on using:

Code:

Alias /webmail /etc/sentora/panel/etc/apps/webmail

as a Global Vhost Entry in Module Admin > Apache Config.
This allows all domains and subdomains to use domain.com/webmail to access roundcube and has worked without flaw for a few years now.
(I also use a similar variation for external phpmyadmin login.)
Doing it this way also prevents clients from having to add a webmail record to their DNS settings. Much easier for everybody

Tried it and it gives me a blank page. Any idea why?

[TGates]

hmmm. Try accessing it by using your panel login URL (panel.domain.com)/etc/apps/webmail/
If that works, then it could be a .htaccess lockdown. Me.B is more familiar with what they did to lock things down and could advise better

[Me.B]

Blank page === > PHP ERROR check logs for that.
