apache2 throws up a few warns during restart (ISPConfig3)

Hey,
I am testing this script on a Home made Server.

All set up well, I managed to modify a DNS Record on my primary web host to redirect my subdomain local.xyz.tld and it works well I manage to get the default index page, However i noticed While using my Shell Access to restart the services Apache brings up the following:

Code:

[Thu Sep 01 19:55:23 2011] [warn] NameVirtualHost 192.168.0.200:80 has no VirtualHosts
[Thu Sep 01 19:55:23 2011] [warn] NameVirtualHost 192.168.0.200:443 has no VirtualHosts
 ... waiting [Thu Sep 01 19:55:24 2011] [warn] NameVirtualHost 192.168.0.200:80 has no VirtualHosts
[Thu Sep 01 19:55:24 2011] [warn] NameVirtualHost 192.168.0.200:443 has no VirtualHosts

My setup is as follows

My Server is setup via a router with DMZ enabled (for now) and my router IP is semi-static (only changes if i turn off my router which is never) so my server has a local STATIC IP as shown above.

also i can not access webmail when using outside the internal network.

Any Help would be massive!! thanks =]

 

Don't worry. This is because you haven't created any site on this ip.

How do you try access to webmail? http://local.xyz.tld/webmail ?

 

well at first it was domain.com/webmail but with that not working i decided to try a mod to allow webmail.domain.com both fail

 

also my ispconfig system messages log says "unable ro read /var/log/messages"

 

For webmail.domain.com you need create a subdomain and add A DNS record.

When you try to access to your webmail ...
... error.log shows something ?
... do you get some error in your browser?

Can you access from your internal network ?

 

I did that from outset. I forgot to mention i had checked all DNS record as i run companies shared hosts dns records =]

where is that again? being a total *unix noob and used to cpanel...

yes when i run via domain.com/webmail i get 404 as of writing i am restarting server

i am accessing the server through http and by ssh on local network

im at a loss

 

ok i realised what i did wrong i used a A record on my main host dns and not a ns record for the subdomain.

time to contact webhost :S any ideas of what domain registrars allow subdomain NS records if this goes bad?

 

Well, then step by step.

In ssh console, type:

Code:

tail -f /var/www/yourdomain.com/log/error.log

"tail" reads the last lines of a file.

Then, try to access to domain.com/webmail and paste here the new lines you get.

 

Code:

You don't need NS record for subdomain like webmail.domain.com

Maybe is better you delegate DNS to ISPConfig.

 

ok the dns issue is sorted that is currently an issue i can resolve when i create a new domain. the problem i have now is that i still can not access webmail, the log states there is no file in web/webmail so how do i do a symbolic link?

 

Code:

 File does not exist: /var/www/local.advancetechuk.com/web/webmail

I'm pretty sure you didn't create an alias for webmail. (This should be done from the console, not from ISPConfig)

And did you installed some webmail? squirrelmail or roundcube

Did you get ISPConfig manual? I think is a good tool for you.

 

trust me when i get the cash i am, and yes squirrelmail is installed but obviously not accessing it so how do i do a symbolic link or what ever it is called?? the li or something

 

Cash? What cash?

For create symbolic links, the command is ln http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ln_(Unix)

But you don't need it, you need an Alias. Read this howto: http://www.howtoforge.com/enabling-...b-sites-on-an-ispconfig-3-server-ubuntu-10.10

 

yeah im already on it =] followed you via whos online

 

only one problem now what was the default webmail link in the config interface link
and the cash for the documentation just need to get the cash in the bank =]

 

i have the issue still i think http://local.advancetechuk.com/webmail check it and tell me if it works your end

 

I don't understand this question

Meanwhile you can use the howtos section.

 

Go to first step:

Code:

tail -f /var/www/yourdomain.com/log/error.log

 

same file does not exist so i followed all and still at square one
