Hello,
Just installed a fresh solidcp. Everything works fine, including exchange.
I have a question.. When importing a website into a customer, it imports successfully, but it also creates a top level domain (in domains), with the website header.
For example, if I import website "accounting.bigcompany.com", then I also have the domain "accounting.bigcompany.com" created in domains as a "top-level domain". So instead of having 20-30 domains here, I ended up with 200+, all top level, but without DNS. I already have the domain "bigcompany.com" in domains, DNS managed.
Obviously, I'd like it to just import the website, without creating any domains.
Any ideas?
Hello,
SolidCP will always need a domain (with or without dns) created.
It's the same as when you create a new website via SolidCP.
Normally if you have a top level domain and many subdomains (spread over different customers) you can add the top level domain to a reseller user or similar and check "Allow customer to create subdomain"

Nothing is spread across clients.
There is only 1 client. domain.com is DNS hosted under this client. The following happens:
- If I create a website web1.domain.com in solidCP - no domain is added to "domains". Only an A record under domain.com; Correct behaviour.
- If I import web2.domain.com - a domain is created in solidCP, under this client, with DNS disabled - "web2.domain.com". INSTEAD of an A record, like in scenario 1.
It's the same thing, with different behaviour, and I think scenario 2 is wrong. A website with a pointer shouldn't show up in the domain list.
I had to go into the database and convert the erroneous domain to "isWebsitePointer" to "True" to make it disappear from the domain list in solidCP. This is what happens when I create a website in solidCP, and this is what should happen when you import an existing database.
I think the website importing tool puts the wrong values in the database, under domain. Instead of marking it as a domain pointer, it makes it a regular domain.
I don't think either way is "wrong" but in general I would prefer the less cluttered approach, especially for someone who uses a lot of subdomain websites.
Perhaps the system should give a choice of doing it either way.
