Its a rookie question, I have never had web hosting server i thought its easier to install ISPConfig so i followed the tutorial http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-9.04-ispconfig-3 to install, i have everything setup but I cant get my site to show up I have two server that i want to host, www.server1.com and www.server2.com; server1.com was setup at the time of installation but I added server2.com ... This is what i did ---> System tab - Add Server config - and then i have added following values in the tab "Server" server config ----------- Network Configuration (not checked) IP Address 127.0.0.1 Netmask 255.255.255.0 Gateway 192.168.0.1 Hostname server2.com Nameservers ns11.domaincontrol.com, ns12.domaincontrol.com I left rest of the tabs blank since, i just want to see if i can get to default page or not... CLIENT -- Company name, Contact name, Username, password.... EMAIL -- Server, Client=xyz, Domain, Spamfilter = normal ; Active checked .... SITES -- WEBSITE -- Server,Client=xyz,IP-Address=*, Domain=server2.com, Harddisk Quota 1000 MB, (CGI,SSI,Own Error-Documents)=checked, ,SuEXEC not,Auto-Subdomain=www,SSL, PHP=ModPHP, Active=checked ... Rest of the tabs left blank but when i click on OPTIONS and go to previous tab i get this ERROR 1.documentroot_error_empty while there is no tab for "documentroot" but LinuxUser=web1, LinuxUser=client1,AppacheDirective=blank When I type url outside network i dont get the page, but within my network i reach my wireless router Admin Setup page ??? My default setup during installation for server1.com ----------- Network Configuration (not checked) IP Address 127.0.0.1 Netmask 255.255.255.0 Gateway 192.168.0.1 Hostname server1.com Nameservers 192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.2 Please help... My domain name is by godaddy, i have A-record for server1, and server2 pointing to my public ip address.
You can not add servers like that. You will have to delete the server entry as it is not connected with any server. To add a server, install ispconfig on the second server in expert mode and then choose that this server shall join the master server. Running a multi servers etup is not as easy as running a single server as you have to set correct mysql access permissions to allow the root user of the slave servers to connect to the mysql database of the master server before you install ispconfig, so if this is your first server you might want to start with a single server setup and when you get more comfortable with managing linux servers then extend your setup with more servers.
Thanks Till for your response: Awww my understanding is wrong, let me put down my objective: On a single hosting server i would like to have multiple web-sites hosted. I have 5 websites that i want to put on this server, i want to have each website its own mail boxes and user accounts... *** I did install ISPConfig 3 in expert mode, and i have "server1.com" already setup during the process of installation. (Please see its setup in my post to verify if its been setup correctly) *** Questions: 1. After i remove the server2.com how do i put all these 5 websites hosted (e.g. website1.com, website2.com, ...)? 2. Do i have to have my AAA record at godaddy to point to my public ip for all those websites (i am assuming yes) 3. Do I have to have ns11.domaincontrol.com, ns12.domaincontrol.com in NameServer of SERVER1.COM or do i leave my local IP addresses there in that field. 4. How about the error i get in Website-Options tab? (OPTIONS does not let me out i get this ERROR "documentroot_error_empty" while there is no tab for "documentroot" It only has LinuxUser=web1, LinuxUser=client1,AppacheDirective=blank) Any step by step guide for ISPConfig3 is appreciated, i found many for ISPConfig2 but nothing for 3... Thanx in advance
1) You dont have a second server at the moment as you just added a record manually to the databse without any connection to a real server. You will have to delete any records that you assigned to this server in ispconfig. 2) Yes. You always need a dns record for a website. 3) The nameservcers must be exsiting and working nameservers that are used to resolve external domain names. 4) This error is there because you did not add the server correctly. See my other post. there are no other manuals for ispconfig 3 available yet and as I suggested to you above you should start with a single server setup wheny you are not familar with linux administration.
Thanks Till I removed the server2.com which I added after installation; from my ispconfig3 setup, I also removed all the related setups. Server1 was installed during installation process and configured by ISPConfig. I did not change anything in that setup. Now i have single server with a site (mywebsite.com) setup for a client. I am still unable to see tab for "documentroot" It only has LinuxUser=web2, LinuxGroup=client2,AppacheDirective=blank... My problem still unsolved, i don't see website default page instead it shows me my wireless router's control panel which is 192.168.1.1 any ideas? What other post you are referring to ? Thanx

Falko, Could you please be specific, which file and which value is wrong, I have "resolv.conf" with nameserver 192.168.1.1 since i'm using GoDaddy to resolve all external DNS. My hosts file has ip address for each host as follows: 127.0.0.1 server1.com localhost.localdomain localhost 127.0.1.1 server1 # Additional lines for server 192.168.1.105 website1.com 192.168.1.105 website2.net 192.168.1.105 website3.com 192.168.1.105 website4.net # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts ::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters ff02::3 ip6-allhosts Please point me in right direction, which file needed changes and what values, as i mentioned before I'm rookie thus I didn't undrestand what exactly you mean... Thanks for your help...
Thanks Falko for your prompt response. I do have router configured to IP 192.168.1.105 for ports 80 and 8080 I still cant access website any idea why? I still don't have an answer to one of my earlier question... "Why am I still unable to see tab for "documentroot" It only has LinuxUser=web2, LinuxGroup=client2, AppacheDirective=blank... ?" Please help...
I resolved the first issue Falko, Answer to your question is Yes!!! The problem was not any of this but it was my hosts file; which was as follows: 127.0.0.1 server1.com localhost.localdomain localhost 127.0.1.1 server1 # Additional lines for server 192.168.1.105 website1.com 192.168.1.105 website2.net 192.168.1.105 website3.com 192.168.1.105 website4.net While I had to add www in front of website names as follows: 127.0.0.1 server1.com localhost.localdomain localhost 127.0.1.1 server1 # Additional lines for server 192.168.1.105 www.website1.com 192.168.1.105 www.website2.net 192.168.1.105 www.website3.com 192.168.1.105 www.website4.net Even-though I had Auto-subdomain selected as www but still it doesn't see it (beats me why, may be its ubuntu 9.04 issue) Thank you all for your responses and precious time...
