Hi!
After much work, I've finally successfully created and installed CWP on a Linux (CentOS 6.
VM I made via Azure.
Everything seems ok, and I'm able to see the CentOS HTTP Test Page.
Take note of the following things:
1. Azure has set the Public IP of my server. I've set this to Statuc
2. Azure can be configured (and I have done so) to have a 'DNS Name'. It's a simple subdomain of azure.
3. I also have a different hostname which I checked before installing CWP. It's a long string and my VM has its own subdomain.
As far as I can tell, Azure can be configured to work as a DNS. But I don't think this is a good idea since I plan to host at least 3 different websites on the server (although all of them would be subdomains of my main website's domain name).
The plan is that we'll have a main website at
www.company.com; then various other website as product1.company.com; product2.company.com.
This server will be exclusively for these websites. No need for different webpanel logins for each, since my team and I will be the only people doing anything on the panel.
All of our websites will be CodeIgniter (PHP) websites.
So what would be my next steps?
Do I create a new user? Then add domains? Should I make a new user for each of my websites (even though the other websites will be subdomains?) Then should I just upload via FTP after logging in as each user? How do I associate each domain name?
Note that I'm hosting my domain name somewhere else, and all I'll be able to edit on that end are the A-records and CNAME-records.
Any ideas how I should proceed?
