New ISPConfig Server

I have installed a new lamp server by following The Perfect Server - Gutsy Gibbon with ISPConfig. I am confused and stuck.

1. In Management Server Settings, The Server name should this be the same name as the hostname of the physical machine? I named it lamp instead of Server 1 as suggested in the guide.

2. In Management Server Settings Web tab, should the Suexec option be checked.

3. I tried to follow the Mini-HowTo RoundCube Webmail on Your ISPConfig. I got stuck at Step 1 Create website. When I clicked New Site, there's no Basis tab in the New site dialogbox, on fact there's no tab. There are 3 dropdown box fields. In Reseller field only admin, in Customer field No client available and in Hostingplan field Individual settings. Do I have to create a reseller and a new customer before I can create a new site?

 

1. You can name it Lamp, Server 1 is an example

2. Mine isn't checked.

3. You have to make a New Customer before you create a site. You can add them all under Admin if you like (most of mine are) - You can create your own hosting plans or just do Individual (settings are on the next page)


HTH

 

So, I have be my customer in my site first. That's confusing
I thought being an admin would have all the rights.

Thanks BinKS

 

That's right.

 

I have followed the RoundCube Webmail On Your ISPConfig within 10 easy step and when I access the webmail with webmail.mydomain.tld in goes to the homepage, not the webmail interface. Please help.

 

Yes, I followed the Mini-HowTo "RoundCube webmail on your ISPConfig within 10 step" guide. I can't reach the RoundCube login page by typing webmail.mydomain.tld. When I type in webmail.mydomain.tld it direct me to the homepage and not the login page.

 

What's the output of

Code:

ls -la /var/www/webmail.myhostingcompany.tld/web1/

(or whatever your document root is)?

 

There's no such directory. However, there's a /var/www/webmail.myhostingcompany.tld/web directory. May be this is the problem.

(I renamed the /var/www/webmail.mydomain/tld/web/ to /var/www/mydomain.tld/web1/)

Nope, this is not the problem.
In the /web1 or (originally /web) there are these files and directories:
--------------------
/bin
/config
/error
/log
/program
/skin
/SQL
/stats
/temp
CHANGE.LOG
index.html
index.php
INSTALL
LICENSE
README
UPGRADING

Can you rename index.html to index.html_orig? Does it work then?

 

After I changed the directory from /web to /web1. I got the 404 error; the webmail.mydomain.tld could not be found. There must be something I missed during the RoundCube installation. I'll uninstall the RoundCube and re-install it again. Any tips on uninstalling RoundCube?

Thanks for everyone's help.
