I have been using Nethserver for quite a while now, i love it and love the community behind.
Funny enought i have been using it only for advanced projects, softwares and scenarios, mostly nase don Howtos, wiki and modules that are available on the platform.

q: which is the best and easiest way to host standard web applications onto the platform,
this is considering, use of database, MYSQL or PGsql.
use on a fully qualified domain and use on a subdomain.

these are software like matomo, mailwiz, etc. which can be hosted on normal shared hosting plans.

Use the virtualhost module for managing your sites. This way you get separate (sub)domains/webspaces and you may use different PHP versions and certs for your sites. Files may be uploaded with (S)FTP.

http://docs.nethserver.org/en/v7/virtual_hosts.html#virtual-hosts

As regards databases I recommend to install phpmyadmin or phppgadmin for management/troubleshooting.

i am trying to remove a virtualhost completely, so that i can add it back again into the system, am not sure how to do it.

currently when i try to add it, i get the error, virtualhost already added.

but i can not perform any functions onto it.

When I remove a vhost from server manager it’s completely removed including /var/lib/nethserver/vhost/<vhostdir>/
When I recreate it it’s recreated without problems.

For removing a vhost on command line:

Show your vhosts to get the random name:

db vhosts show

Delete vhost and apply config:

db vhosts delete 0744df302b21be7
signal-event nethserver-httpd-save

You’re not using the available module?

https://wiki.nethserver.org/doku.php?id=phpmyadmin

That works out of the box.
There’s more here:

i used the available module to deploy phpmyadmin. not sure why it refuses to access the admin area.

16

this is a software i am deploying

17

I never had issues using the Module - and could access any DB…
The Password is here:
cat /root/.my.cnf

18

tricky one is creating db, and corresponding user rights and applying

19

I usually do that with the console…

eg:

mysqladmin create wikidb
create database wikidb;
grant index, create, select, insert, update, delete, alter, lock tables on wikidb.* to ‘wikiuser’@‘localhost’ identified by 'PASSWORD;

then

mysql>flush privileges;

mysql>quit
