Vesta Control Panel - Forum

Hello,

I have a site running on Vesta for a year that was originally established as a subdomain (vps.domain.com), and when the domain was migrated nearly a year ago it needed to be switched from the subdomain to the root domain and since I didn't see a was in Vesta to do this I just added the domain as a alias of the subdomain.

That worked mostly, even though it seemed like a wonky workaround I didn't have any major issues until now. I added a SSL certificate, and it seems it is not working because of the face the cert is not for the subdomain.

So how can I manually change the vps.domain.com to domain.com in Vesta? I tried to help myself, but I was not clear on where Vesta stored this data. Is it in a DB I can change, or is their some other way from SSH?

Hi
Take a look at the config files.
You will need to change the apache config files and the niginx

More on them in vestacp docs

You can't edit the domain name in the control panel.


There is no simple way to do this quickly :(
But you can try to create domain.com. Then you move the files from /home/username/web/vps.domain.com/public_html to /home/username/domain.com/public_html

Yeah you can do something like It would be faster to move your files from one dir to another, btw you have to add the web domain before moving or copying your site.
