Hello. I have server with ISPConfig 3 and all features installed on it (MySql, DNS, etc.). Now I want to add a second web server, but only with apache installed. I.e. it will use databases, mail and DNS records from the 1st server. Is this possible? Or I have to install everything on the second server also, then choose "Expert mode" and then choose that this new server shall join 1st server?
OK. So: 1. for the second server, I can follow the "Perfect server guide" but install ONLY Apache, FTP and MySQL server (i.e. without mail server, DNS server, etc,). 2. Then, choose EXPERT mode for ISPConfig install 3. Choose "Yes" to add to existing Multiserver 4. Enter local MySQL credentials 5. Enter Master SQL credentials 6. Choose "NO" for configuring all other servers (Mail server, DNS server, etc.) Correct?
Yes. and before you start, take care that you add a mysql root user on the master that can access the master from IP and hostname of the slave system. This connection via root user is only used during install and later when you install an update.
No, that would be really insecure. That's why I said you must create new root users, one for the hostname of the new slave and one for the IP address of the new slave. have a look at the multiserver install guide here at howtoforge, it's described there.
