ISPC move to port 80 on dedicated IP, but now ISPC complains Apache down

Ubuntu 6.10, ISPConfig 2.2.9 mostly according to the Howto's.

I allocated a specific IP to ISPConfig and used the tricks to have ISPConfig running on port 80. That works nicely, including Squirrelmail and phpMyadmin. https on port 80 on a dedicated IP (172.16.3.79).

I added all IP's in the /etc/network/interface file:

Code:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
        address 172.16.3.75
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 172.16.3.0
        broadcast 172.16.3.255
        gateway 172.16.3.254
auto eth0:0
iface eth0:0 inet static
        address 172.16.3.76
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 172.16.3.0
        broadcast 172.16.3.255
        gateway 172.16.3.254
auto eth0:1
iface eth0:1 inet static
        address 172.16.3.77
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 172.16.3.0
        broadcast 172.16.3.255
        gateway 172.16.3.254
auto eth0:2
iface eth0:2 inet static
        address 172.16.3.78
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 172.16.3.0
        broadcast 172.16.3.255
        gateway 172.16.3.254
auto eth0:3
iface eth0:3 inet static
        address 172.16.3.79
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 172.16.3.0
        broadcast 172.16.3.255
        gateway 172.16.3.254

and added the 75-78 addresses in the panel under Management->Server->Settings in the textbox IP list. I entered the 79 address IP address in the hostname block. This results in ISPConfig complaining the webserver is not running. Writing this down, I come to think I need to remove the 79 address and just use e.g. 75 and remove from the IP List.

Checking ...... Testing .......

Nope, but the error became clear. Running manually the check script gives:

Code:

~# /root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/check_services.php

Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to localhost:80 (Connection refused) in /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/check_services.php on line 92

Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to localhost:80 (Connection refused) in /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/check_services.php on line 92

Any suggestion?

 

Fixed by second look

Have to answer myself ......

As I changed apache to listen only on specific IP's, it's not listening on localhost. Adding 127.0.0.1 to /etc/apache2/ports.conf makes it all working again.

Code:

~# cat /etc/apache2/ports.conf
Listen 127.0.0.1:80
Listen 172.16.3.75:80
Listen 172.16.3.76:80
Listen 172.16.3.77:80
Listen 172.16.3.78:80
Listen 127.0.0.1:443
Listen 172.16.3.75:443
Listen 172.16.3.76:443
Listen 172.16.3.77:443
Listen 172.16.3.78:443

Great panel though. I should not want to do specific modifications ......

 

how?

Hi martinfst !

Is there a how-to or thread with those tricks how to get the ISPConfig running on port 80 ?

Thx!

The tricks are all documented in these forums. Maybe I combined a few here and there, but essentially it's all there. See http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4829 for the essentials I used.
