To see a vsite before propagation, edit:
C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
and add:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx  www.vsitename.com with xxx's being the vsite's IP
Neat trick I got from this list, being able to double-check the vsite's DNS
setup on the 550.

Email accounts: I don't think you can add email accounts not attached to any
vsite domains.

phpMyAdmin: I've got phpMyAdmin 2.3.3pl1 installed on my 550, and it works
fine. Log in as root with your su password. Perhaps your password isn't set
with MySQL? I forgot what the default password is.

subdomains: I've been unsuccessful in setting up subdomains, still looking
for answers.

 Hello,

 First of all, I have to say that I'm a newbie on Cobalt RaQ servers. My
server is a RaQ550 (P-III 1ghz, 256mo ram, 40go HDD). Here comes my few
questions :

- About the virtual site preview before dns propagation of the domain :
I have tried two tips taken from the developper's list :
First, I've added this line in the httpd.conf : AliasMatch
^/vsite/([^/]+)(/(.*))? /home/sites/$1/web/$3, and restart the httpd. But,
when I try http://serverdomain/vsite/clientdomain/, the server give me a
"Forbidden, You do not have permission to access the requested file on this
server."
Second, I've tried another solution that is to create
clientname.serverdomain when making a virtualsite (and change it after dns
propagation). But it doesn't work when I try to reach the site by
http://clientname.serverdomain/. DNS error or something like that...
So since the both solutions don't work, what should I do ?

- About users :
For each user added, the cobalt admin give him an account on the
virtualsite. So, how can i create emails account without a web account ?

- Phpmyadmin :
I have installed phpMyAdmin 2.3.3 for RAQ550 release 1 from
edison.ca/cobalt, and when i login as root, i can't create/modify/delete
databases... the only way I have find to do that is to connect as root on
the server by ssh, and admin mysql there... not very pratical.

- Subdomains :
How can i create a subdomain that show up a directory ? Like that :
dir1.clientdomain.com >> www.clientdomain.com/dir1/

- Bandwidth limits :
How to set up a bandwith limit on a virtual site ?

Thanks you all in advance. And sorry for my bad english ;)
