@phenomlab That is an amazing page! Thanks for sharing that. Corentin did a great job with it.
setting up Matomo
Solved
General
-
@jac just setting up now…
-
-
@jac I see it - you’ll need to create the new subdomain in your Virtualmin instance
-
@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

rookie error
“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 “Requesting a certificate for stats.stockportcounty.fans, www.stats.stockportcounty.fans from Let’s Encrypt …”
that will be interesting…
-
@jac Should be fine. It may bomb on the www request - let me know if that’s the case.

@jac Unsurprising. 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”
