Please check the site settings and ensure that you do not mix * and IP in websites. So wither select * for all sites or the ip address for all sites in the website settings and dont mix that on a server. If you e.g. select the IP for one site and * for other sites, then all requests will be redirected to the site where the IP is selected as the IP is a "stringer" match then a * wildcard in apache.
when you say check the site setting do you mean the file site2.net.vhost in the sites-available folder? if so the files look like this site 1 Code: <VirtualHost XXX.XX.XXX.XXX:80> DocumentRoot /var/www/site1.com/web ServerName site1.com ServerAlias www.site1.com ServerAdmin [email protected] ErrorLog /var/log/ispconfig/httpd/site1.com/error.log site 2 Code: <VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot /var/www/site2.net/web ServerName site2.net ServerAlias www.site2.net ServerAdmin [email protected] ErrorLog /var/log/ispconfig/httpd/site2.net/error.log there is more in the vhost file but thats the only part with any relation to the ip address
But you selected the ip address for one site and * for the other one, thats visible in your vhost. So you have to switch both sites to * or both sites to IP and dont mix that! If the ip is shown only in one site, then you most likely assigend it excluisevly to one client under system > server IP. To make it visible for all clients, edit the IP and deselect the client.
i get it now ip was not set right so both sites was pointing to customer 1 i have it working now thanks for the help till i have made a small donation as a thank you for the support given
Maybe just a page cache? Try to reload web page with CTRL + F5? Anyway, do not mess with IP's in ISPConfig, I had the same problem when I tried ISPConfig, then found out that it's not good to select IP for websites, and use * for other sites. If it's possible delete sites and add them again...
it seems to have sorted its self out strange was not working for like a week then it just started working again
