Docs: Problems with How to Create Virtual Servers page

[danboid]

I am trying to follow the advice being given here:

https://forum.virtualmin.com/t/webmin-webserver-options/127510/3

They requested I create a new virtual server and I wasn't sure if they wanted me to create a new top level server but the link to that page is broken on this page:

https://www.virtualmin.com/docs/getting-started/how-to-create-virtual-servers/

I think it would help to include a screenshot of where the relevant option (Create Virtual Server) is located. I'd imagine it differs depending on the user logged in, if its a subdomain or a top level server?

This page doesn't mention anything about permissions and users. I expect the master admin has more or different options to regular users?

Including a command line example for creating a new domain would be useful too.

The main reason I was unsure how to create a new top level server is because I found the strip of icons representing the various options across the top of the 'Create Virtual Server' page confusing. Top level server, sub-server etc are laid out in a horizontal strip of icons which made me think vmin might be doing all those actions at once. It would've been clearer to me if the different server type options / windows were selected from a drop down menu.

Hello,

Thanks for the heads up!

It would've been clearer to me if the different server type options / windows were selected from a drop down menu.

I'm afraid that putting it in the dropdown would only create more confusion. I think it's better to have all options laid out and easily accessible.

Yeah I don't think rearranging that would be worth the effort but thought it was worthwhile explaining why it confused me.

Thank you for sharing this, Dan! We will consider it when reworking the UI in the future.
