RE: [cobalt-users] [Raq3] "Secondary" domains/accounts

["Donna" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

yes, it's not necessary to give each domain name its own server
config.

If you're confident enough to edit your httpd.conf file, just set
up one main account, then telnet into your server and add the
following line to that virtual account config:

ServerAlias otherdomain.net *.otherdomain.net etc.com *.etc.com

you'll also need to restart apache follwing your changes, you can
do that by updating a server from your GUI, or starting all
services from the control panel

If you want those domains to also accept email, you'll need to
edit your etc/vitusertable file as well.

I am deliberately not going into minute detail, because if you're
not very familiar with what I'm talking about, editing these
files coudl result in voiding the warranty, etc.

I can provide more details if you're confident on how to
progress.
