Debian4, New Install, Web Server won't start

    After messing up my Fedora install beyond repair I decided to start fresh with a different distro. Per recommendations here I installed Debian 4.0 (etch) from scratch according to "The Perfect Setup" instructions.

    Additionally I installed NVIDIA video drivers and Webmin.

    After installing ISPConfig DNS and Web-Server both show offline. Adjusting name server domains got DNS going. But I can't get Apache2 going still. Searching here for solutions, many of the directories mentioned don't seem to exist on my system. I re-installed ISPConfig with no change.

    I can access the IPConfig administration on 81 and the Webmin on 10000 without any problems.

    SuExec is disabled. Firewall is off for now.

    Here are some outputs...

    /var/log/apache2/error.log
    unable to start piped log program ' /usr/sbin/vlogger -s access.log /var/log/ispconfig/httpd': No such file or directory
    Unable to open logs

    (I created a new text file /var/log/ispconfig/httpd/access.log but it didn't help).

    I found the following in another thread and it seems to solve the issue...


    ... comment out the line Include /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf:

    [...]
    # Include the virtual host configurations:
    #Include /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/
    [...]

    sites-enabled

    I found in the sites-enabled directory a link, called ispconfig.conf (or something with isp in it's name)

    delete the link and apache2 will start working again.

    You posted here in the ispconfig 2 forum but the file you deleted belongs to ISPConfig 3. So the question is, which ispconfig version did you install? ISPConfig 2 qnd 3 are completely different sotware packages which use different configurations.

    My mistake. I didn't notice that this thread was for ispconfig 2, but I had the same behavior of the webserver, and the solution was working fine.

    No wonder that it dont workes. You can not install ispconfig 2 on a server that had ispconfig 3 installed or vice versa. You have to format the server and then reinstall it eaxctly as described in the perfect setup guide for the ispconfig version you use. If you did not follow the guides exactly, then your install will not work as not all system requiremenst are installed.
