According to the Raq4 docs, I should be able to see a virtual website from this address: http://host.domain.com/home/sites/www.virtualdomain.com/web Obviously it's not working. I get a "file note found" page. I've got a virtual domain webmaster that needs the warm and fuzzys before we move his site to the Raq. I need a clue. Anyone?

I don't know where you got that info, but it's definitely wrong.

The actual path to a virtual site's 'home' directory is

        /home/sites/[home|siteX]/

which is symlinked to by the path

        /home/sites/www.example.com/

Under that are the web dir, users dir, log dir, and certs dir.

You can only reach a virtual directory by using it's "real" domain name -- www.example.com etc

I have seen some people set up a redirect on the RaQ's "home" site to allow someone to reach a virtual domain before the DNS has completed propogating, and that solution looks similar to what you've listed. But I don't think there's anything in the official RaQ docs that suggest you can do what you've listed.

What are you trying to do for your prospective customer?

The goal is to make available a url that the customer can use to look at his web page prior to making DNS changes that point to the Raq.
