ISPconfig control panel works but websites dont

Hi all, i have just finished installing ISPConfig and it works! well half works.

i have created a new client and site. the domain and dns is handled by dyndns as that is where i created the domain.

once i created it i could only log into the controlpanel section ie: http://domainname:81
but the actual website doesnt work, ie: http://domainname

I have bind 9 installed, will this conflict with the workings of the dyndns site? With the DNS etc? i dont know how it can because the control panel works, i have tested it on a different internet connection and it works fine. it seems only the web sites arent working.

also in the /etc/hosts - do i have to fill in every domain under the ip i am using?

and my ftp works fine, just not the website.

Thanks

Anthony

 

.

the domain that i have is the domain that i`m using for ispconfig server, ie:
under management and settings i have my domain name as the host and domain. are you asking me to create a site with this same domain name?

i have another domain that i created with dyndns and i have tried to create a site with this domain, and it didnt work.

or do i need to create a site with the first domain that is also my isp servers domain?

all ports required have been forwarded correctly.

Thanks

Anthony.

 

You can use whatever domain you like to create a web site, but make sure that its DNS records are pointing to your server.
Regarding the IP address that you have to choose for the web site in ISPConfig: it must be one of the IP addresses that you see in the output of

Code:

ifconfig

 

Yes i have created a site and given it these details:

site one's details:
hostname: www
domain : life.boldlygoingnowhere.org
ip : 192.XXX.X.XX (internal ip of my server, ports are forwarded)
create dns: Not checked
create dns mx: Not checked


ispserver details:
server name: Server 1
hostname: mysrv.homeip.net
domain : mysrv.homeip.net
ip : 192.XXX.X.XX (internal ip of my server, ports are forwarded)


the domains : mysrv.homeip.net and life.boldlygoingnowhere.org both point to my external IP with ports forwarded to the internal IP mentioned above

with this config it doesnt work???

what should i be doing differently,
thanks for your assistance in this.
the internal ip i am using is the same ip for eth0 in ifconfig

thanks

Anthony

 

i have to bump this up, i really require assistance with this,

thanks

Anthony

 

Try hostname: life and domain: boldlygoingnowhere.org
If this doesn't help: what's in Vhosts_ispconfig.conf, and what's the output of

Code:

ifconfig

?

 

here is the info you requested

i tried what you suggested but it didnt work.
here is my vhosts info: (this is after i made the changes you suggested)

Is life.boldlygoingnowhere.org pointing to the correct IP address? Is port 80 open in your firewall? Also make sure that your ISP doesn't block port 80.

 

all is open

i phoned my isp a few days ago to make sure and they say it is open...? all ports are forwarded correctly to the correct ip.

i`m thinking it might have something to do with the dns, what should my settings be for my dns?

do i require to add an entry for life.boldlygoingnowhere.org?

thanks for your assistance falco.

if life.boldlygoingnowhere.org and mysrv.homeip.net should be 192.168.1.13 then yes the ip is correct.

Is that your router's public IP address?
