Hello,

You could add another virtualhost directive to your /usr/local/directadmin/data/templates/virtual_host.conf. You'll first copy it to /usr/local/directadmin/data/templates/custom/virtual_host.conf, then change it to read:

|?DOCROOT=`HOME`/domains/`DOMAIN`/public_html|
<VirtualHost |IP|:80>
|CUSTOM|
|?CGI=ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ `DOCROOT`/cgi-bin/|
ServerName www.|DOMAIN|
ServerAlias www.|DOMAIN| |DOMAIN|
ServerAdmin |ADMIN|
DocumentRoot |DOCROOT|
|CGI|

User |USER|
Group |GROUP|
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/domains/|DOMAIN|.bytes bytes
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/domains/|DOMAIN|.log combined
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/domains/|DOMAIN|.error.log

<Directory |DOCROOT|>
Options +Includes -Indexes
</Directory>
|HANDLERS|
|MIMETYPES|
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost |IP|:80>
ServerName webmail.|DOMAIN|
ServerAdmin |ADMIN|
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/webmail

User |USER|
Group |GROUP|
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/domains/|DOMAIN|.bytes bytes
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/domains/|DOMAIN|.log combined
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/domains/|DOMAIN|.error.log
</VirtualHost>Note the last virtualhost addition for webmail. Then you can type:
echo "action=rewrite&value=httpd" >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue

helo

john, if i excecute this, so how about the the exist subdomain i have created ?? eg. webmail.client1.com, webmail.client2.com ? i have redirect it to webmail.client1.com/webmail,

this can be broken something or have double vhost ? and this task will do add webmail.|DOMAIN| for all domain ?

is the bind zone for webmail.|DOMAIN| will be added too by DA, eg :webmail.|DOMAIN| too ? if yes, that DA make a subdomain depend of vhost, right ?

Hello,

Yes, you'd have to make sure that the "subdomain" wasn't created through their account (duplicate = bad). You'd also need to create an A record for "webmail". There are always far more details under the surface to all problems like this :)

This will create the VirtualHost automatically for *all* created domains automatically. It will *not* add the A record for their zone, you'd have to do that manually.

John,

how can we add template for A record for zone? DA hasn't support yet ?

Hello,

/usr/local/directadmin/data/templates/named.db

Note that this template doesn't have an |IP| token, so you could probably setup a CNAME (IP independant) that looks like:

|?TIME=14400|
$TTL 14400
@ IN SOA |NS1| |EMAIL| (
|SERIAL|
7200
3600
1209600
86400 )

webmail 14400 IN CNAME

|NS|
|A|
|MX|
|CNAME|
|PTR|I *think* :) ... this will point webmail.domain.com to whatever domain.com resolves to. Try that, I havn't tested it, but it seems "sound". Remember to first copy it to the "custom" directory and edit the new one from there.
