As per the title, the setup tutorials often say “/var/www/your_domain”.
Should it be “mydomain.com” or just “mydomain”?
That part is confusing because, for example, when configuring Webmin, it says to visit “http://yourdomain”. That would suggest I need the domain extension.

Hello, @orbitstorm88
The name of the file should contain the domain’s extension as well. So in this case will be /var/www/yourdomain.com
And of course when you’re asked to visit the Webmin it will be again required to visit the URL with the domain’s extension as well.
