I've set up my VPS with Ubuntu 14.04 and ISPconfig 3. I used mydomain.com when i followed your tutorial and not server1.mydomain.com. Is this a problem? I can access my site at www.mydomain.com. If I try to access it withouth the www prefix, I get 403 Forbidden. This is not a DNS prorblem, because I can see the "hit" in the log. And mydomain.com/webmail works. What have I done wrong ? x.x.x.x- - [24/Nov/2014:03:54:46 -0500] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 403 500 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0" Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server. Thanks for a great software.
Yes, thats a problem as you will not be able to use mydomain.com as website and you will not be able to use mydomain.com for email addresses now. You should ajust your server to use a subdomain like server1.mydomain.com. Chnage the name in the following files wherever it occurs: /etc/hosts /etc/hostname /etc/mailname (if exists) /etc/postfix/main.cf and restart your server.
Super fast reply! And on a Monday too. Wow. E-mail works great. I'll change the name in the files you mentioned. I guess I don't have to do anything else than edit the files. DNS i set up to *.mydomain.com -> server IP. Thanks till.
