Issues with FTP and accessing site

Finally I am able to get Fedora and ISPconfig working and have created a site. My setup is basic 1 server and 1 Winxp box behind a linksys router.

But I am having couple of issues and was hoping to get some help I am a newbie with both Fedora and ISPconfig.

1. I can only access my site that I have created in ISPconfig using HTTPS and not HTTP. How can I fix this so that I can view the site using HTTP? right now I get a shared ip page with HTTP, HTTPS I get the fedora test page.

2. I can access the site via Web-FTP but I can not setup up dreamweaver to ftp to my site I am using xx.domain.ca and I have tried ftp.xx.domain.ca either way I get cannot connect to host. user name I use the web2_name.

any help would be great.. thanks

 

Please check if your apache is listening to port 80 (http) and 443 (https) as well.
Waht is the output of: netstat -tap

Within Dreamweaver, if you select "FTP" within the "Access" field do not mention "ftp://" again within the field "FTP host" again. So not "ftp://mydomain.tld" but only "mydomain.tld"
Specify "/web" within the "Host directory"

Within try to establish a connection within "Passive mode" and "Normal" mode.
To enable "Passive mode", you have to swith to the advanced mode within the wizard.

 

here is the netstat -tap was not sure how to check to see if apache is listening on port 80 or not.

As for the FTP I tried what you suggested domain.tld with the web2_username and /web as the host directory I tried it in passive mode as well, it is saying that the host can not be found.

 

Got the HTTP part working added it to my host file on my xp box I tried the same with the ftp but no go.

 

If your server is behind a router did you forward port 21 from your public IP to the internal IP of your server?

Can you establish a FTP-connection when you use the IP-address instead of the domain name?

 

I did not forward port 21, I figured I didn't need to since this server is not hosting live sites and both the server and the xp box are behind the router.

I will give that a shot today and see if it makes a difference.

I tried accessing the ftp with the internal IP address it still would not connect.

 

Hans thanks for the help you pointed me in the direction I needed to look, if I use domain.tld or the eth0:0 ip address ftp does not work.

If I use the main ip address of the server with the web2_username I am able to access the ftp from my xp box I tried DOS, Dreamweaver and one other client and they all work.

I am thinking I need to add an entry to my hosts file on my xp box and on the server so when I use doamin.tld it point to my servers main ip address.

Thanks again for the help.

 

Yes you're right. I'm glad you did it.
