Topic: 2 questions. 2 different site on one server and email setup

[WACOMalt]

Ok, first question. I currently have 2 sites. one (www.nimagineca.com) is on another company's servers, and another (www.wacomalt.com) is on my own SME server. Now I want to get "nimagineca" transfered to my server, and show a different site than wacomalt. So then. "wacomalt" is set on the Primary ibay, and I assume I would need to make another ibay for "nimagineca"?

and then how do I set it up so one domain points to one ibay's site, and the other domain points to the other ibay's site?

Question 2.  Ok, this is for both nimagineca.com and wacomalt.com. I need emails setup for my friends. On nimagineca, which is on that company's server. people already have email addresses such as "nicksmith@nimagineca.com". So I need to remake all of those accounts. For wacomalt.com, I need to either set up @wacomalt.com email addresses, or make it so the the email function in the phpbb forums will work. right now it does not work at all.


So I know I have a lot of different questions, so help on any portion is ..helpful.  Thanks

EDIT: I forgot to ask, when email is setup at least on nimagineca, will the smtp servers or pop servers or whatever be like "smtp.nimagineca.com" or what?

With the stuff you have asked, I am going to steer you to a link at the left called Documention. It may say for version 6, but it is still applicable. That will give you the answers conserning domains. On the email servers, the answer is yes, providing you set it up that way at your name server/registrar, and they point to your server.

Documentation page is a great place to start ... just to help you start off ...

Create a user group eg: nimaginecagroup
Create an ibay eg: nimagineca
Set all the rights on it eg: web enable, group nimaginecagroup read/write etc.

Then go to Domains and create a domain and point it to the ibay: nimagineca that you created earlier.

Once done then you have to get the domain stuff sorted out eg get domain comp to point the domain name to the DNS povider you have chosen and get them to point it to your ip address.

I use zoneedit as my DNS provider ... so far they have been really good and for simple stuff they are free as well.

As for diff e-mail address for domains there is a contrib that dungog has called vdomain I think ... that seperates e-mail addresses to diff domains.

Create your users and point them to the correct domains with the vdomain contrib.

This will get you started anyway.

Multiple domain email functionality is in sme7 by default, look at the Pseudonyms panel.

I believe the vdomain contrib adds additional functionality.

well ok, I now have the second domiain set up ... I think. I still have yet to transfer the domain and see.

anyways, when I view the files in explorer, via "\\Wacomalt01\nimagineca\html" there is an index.html file in there, but instead it shows a directory index, rather than the index.html.

I assume the file that tells it what files to accept as indexes is not set right. but where is that file? I beleive its htaccess or something? and this is on a secondary domain and ibay. everything works fine on my primary domain and ibay.

You don't have to set anything ... you should be able to view your website just by http://www.nimagineca.xxx just like any other website.

From internally it should just work as long as you anabled the ibay as web browsable. Make sure all setings are correct.

I just set one up last night to check it works fine.

From outside ppl wont ba able to brows the domain till averything points to your machine.

but my problem is that the nimagineca's web site is not showing the index page I have in there (which works if I put it in wacomalt's web site) its just shows the file index page, even though there is clearly an index.htm sitting right in that folder.

[Tib]

WACOMalt

Did you delete the origional index.htm file?

try http://www.nimagineca.xxx/index.htm then try http://www.nimagineca.xxx/index.html and see if there are 2 index files.

[edit]
I just read your post properly ... I'll check this out at home and see if I have the same.

please note that the nimagineca.com server does not have the domain name applied to it yet. until I get everything working I will not switch over is the deal.

but in firefox or IE I type in file://///Wacomalt01/nimagineca/html/

to see how it should look online, but the index file does not take over, instead the index.htm is just another item on the file indexer list thingy.

in summation

EDIT: oh wow. I feel dumb. I just typed "file://///Wacomalt01/Primary/html/" , which is my www.wacomalt.com site.. and it just listed all of the files too. including ITS index.htm

so it seems it only works when not being accessed the way I just tried.

if I type www.wacomalt.com in though, it works fine now to transfer that domain for www.nimagineca.com, and hope it follows suite.

sorry for the long confusing topic

Using a web browser if I access

http://www.wacomalt.com/nimagineca

I am asked for a login name & pw, so it looks like it's working.

ah yes, I didnt know I could access it like that. thanks! I removed the password restriction so everyone can access it.

now then. as far as email servers, right now I only have a mail.wacomalt.com server

I need a mail.nimagineca.com server as well.

I assume I do this through psudonyms? or is it through something else?

ooor, would mail routed to mail.nimagineca.com already work?

There is only 1 mail server in sme, ie the main domain.
mail.wacomalt.com
Check the server manager Review Configuration panel

If you want a second mail server then you need a second box.


If you correctly setup the virtual domain for nimagineca.com
and ensure that external DNS records are configured appropriately to point at your server, then mail sent to user1@nimagineca.com will be delivered to your server.

The pseudonyms panel will allow you to configure which user gets which email for which domain.

ie
user1@domain1 goes to user3
user1@domain2 goes to user4
user2@domain1 goes to user5
user2@domain2 goes to user6
etc

Once you setup the external DNS service to point everything to your IP address then the everything will work just like you primary domain.

Even webmail in your case will be either http://www.wacomalt.com/webmail or http://www.nimaginecacom/webmail ... the mail server mill be mail.wacomalt.com or mail.nimagineca.com depending on who needs to access.

If you have everything on your server setup for the vdomain then go ahead do the DNS stuff and go for it.

Have faith

well I dont want to just try it out... because there are quite a few people that use my email as their primary email service. which is why temporarily the email is with my old hosting company until I get my own flawless.

I guess I could set up the emails though, just on wacomalt.com and try those out, as everyone is currently set to nimagineca.com. so I can test there, then switch the names over.
