setting up Matomo
Solved
General
-
@phenomlab logged in to Virtualmin now.
Just looking how to do this.
@jac looks tricky if you don’t know what you’re doing
-
@jac Create virtual server > sub server?
-
@jac I don’t want to post sensitive information but is this correct?
-
@jac Yep, that’s it.
-
@phenomlab thanks, now to proceed

“Failed to create virtual server : A sub-server cannot have MySQL enabled unless the parent server does”

@jac Yes, that means that MySQL isn’t enabled at the root domain. You’ll need to go to the root domain, and enable that feature for it to work on subdomains.
The reason for it being missing is that you do not require MySQL for NodeBB as it uses MongoDB instead.

@phenomlab Thanks Mark,
I’ll go and locate this now.

@jac done

@jac Yes, this probably helps
-
@jac Now re-add the subdomain

@jac Should be fine. It may bomb on the www request - let me know if that’s the case.

There are two ways to do this
- Create a CNAME record called WWW and have it point to the subdomain in DNS
- Create a custom request for LE so that it ignores the www value, and only processes the actual domain you want
VirtualMin -> Server Configuration -> SSL Certificate
Let’s Encrypt
Set as per the example, so you only request the domain you want. Ensure that “Automatically renew certificate” is selected, then “Request Certificate”

@jac Well, depending on configuration, they are as simple as each other. If you choose the first, then you need to add DNS records, and ensure your server is capable of handling them on arrival (it should be by default).
If you choose the second, it’s the easiest (and probably laziest
), but it will work. We just then need to set a redirect so that all traffic lands up at https://site.domain.com even if we try with or without the www prefix. -
