Hi All, I am fairly new to Linux and new to ISPConfig. I have just followed the ISPConfig documentation and created a website (broadyswebdesign.com) I am not sure how to actually view the website. What I mean is that I am trying to view the site inside my network. So using http://www.broadyswebdesing.com always pops up the login box for my DLink DSL-604T router. My internal IP address for my Linux server is 10.1.1.2 So I guess I have to view my site by going to http://10.1.1.2/[website] I am not sure what the rest of the url should be. This is the first site created in ISP. My current host file looks like this: Code: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 123.108.66.3 server1.broadyswebdesign.com server1 localhost.localdomain i hope this all makes sense. Mainly I want to know how to view my website and view it internally if possible. Any help is greatly appreciated Thanks
You need to add a line to the hosts file (on the machine from which you are trying to access the server). 10.1.1.2 www.broadyswebdesign.com In your example above it would be below the 2 listed.
How exactly would I add the above to the hosts file? Like this: 10.1.1.2 www.broadyswebdesign.com broadyswebdesign ? Thanks
Exactly as I wrote it, or your example is probably fine as well. Just make sure there is a space or 2 between the IP address and the name. If it is a Windows box, be very careful of Notepad, Wordpad etc as they love adding a 'hidden' .txt extension, which will break everything. A DOS commandline edit is safest. On a Windows system, the hosts file is hidden off the main Windows folder on C: e.g. C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Thanks all for your help, I got it working. I changed the hosts file on Windoze and the Linux Box and now I can view the site by http://www.broadyswebdesign.com
