Hello,
First off, I am totally aware of the article located here that essentaially asks the samething i am asking, but when I attempted to follow it I got so lost my head was spinning. I am a web developer delving in server management. I am looking for a video or instructions on what to do BEFORE installing zPanel so that upon completion of the installation, if i go to zpanel.mysite.com; zPanel shows up, but if I go to just mysite.com, I want nothing to show up until I get the site set up.
I am running Ubuntu 12.04.5
Thank You very much, I apologize for the duplicate question, Dave
P.S. A youtube video would be great if at all possible
