Keep in mind there are numerous YAST applets which can be used to setup various apps including Apache virtual servers.
You may need to install YAST applets you want to use.
IIRC Webmin supports running a console on the server.
If that’s the case, that’s probably your easiest solution…
Within your console you should be able to launch YAST in text mode, install yast2-http-server, close and re-open yast (don’t know if necessary) and configure your vhost that way.
If you want to really dig into configuring manually, on my machine…
You can read the installed documentation which is also a sample vhost.conf file
less /usr/share/doc/packages/apache2/original/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
In general,
An HTTP 404 error which generally means “a file or folder not found” is the result of webcode error… Either a link to a page that doesn’t exist or the path to a page is incorrect.
Not typically a DNS error which is typically the website Domain name and by default should resolve and display a landing page.
the first try to answer - i got a 500 errror when triying to reply to the thread. - this was with mozilla
then i tried it with chrome. This worked well.
but in hte meantime i sent you a pm. Sorry for that!
so i took this way:
many many thanks for the hints in the “how t o create a vhost the right way!”
there are completely different results - one time you get a 404 the other time not!
does this behaviour tell us something bout the nameserver-configuration or the server itself!?
do i have to work on the nameserver!?
do i have to do some corrections on webmin-vhost setup?
That is a common DNS records configuration…
It’s a setting that isn’t usually automatic but needs to be done to enable the default Domain (the Domain name without specifying a record as a prefix) to point to a specified IP address (most commonly the www record).
