How to remove Alias Servers?

A while back, I created a virtual server, then added an alias to it - a new domain name that point to the first. It shows in Virtualmin the Virtual Server and the alias, but for some reason can't remove the alias. When I clic on the alias domain name, it gives me an option to Disable Virtual Server or Delete Virtual Server. However, when I Disable Virtual Server, it disables the entire site - not just the alias (thankfully I did not Delete Virtual Server).

How can I remove this alias from the virtual server? I'd like to make this domain it's own virtual server.

Thanks, Scott

Virtualmin Version 3.522.gpl Fedora Core 4

Hey Scott,

A good thing indeed!

Disabling/deleting the alias shouldn't affect the primary domain.

So I suspect what you're seeing is a bug.

Normally in a case like that, I'd recommend filing a bug report, but it looks like you're using an older version of Virtualmin -- so that bug may have since been fixed.

What I recommend, then, is to upgrade to the latest version of Virtualmin and Webmin (something that wouldn't be a bad idea anyhow ;-) -- and see if it correctly with the latest version of things.

The bug must have been in the older version. I upgraded to the latest, and was able to disable the alias without effecting the virtual server. I then did a backup of the virtual server &quot;just in case&quot; then deleted the alias. Worked perfectly.

Thanks!

Amazing how Virtualmin seems to get better over time, eh?
