Apache - Virtual hosts - ISPConfig

    After adding a new site within ISConfig 2.2.1 via > ISP Manager > New site > there appear NO modifcations within /etc/apache2/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf
    The result is that the created website is NOT reachable from the Internet.

    I have also seen that there is a long list in directory /etc/apache2/vhosts/ with different Vhost files like: /etc/apache2/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf_22-04-06_13-23-59

    I have to say that every time I create a new website in ISPConfig, the virtual host for the last site appears in the last file like: /etc/apache2/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf_dd-mm-yy_hr-min-sec.

    So I did the following to solve the problem:
    I renamed /etc/apache2/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf to /etc/apache2/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig-old.conf

    I copied the last and most up to date /etc/apache2/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf_dd-mm-yy_hr-min-sec to /etc/apache2/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf

    I restarted Apache by: /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

    While starting up Apache again an error occurs:

    Invalid command 'php_admin_flag', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration.

    I removed all the lines starting with 'php_admin_flag' within my new /etc/apache2/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf

    After this, Apache is starting up successfully again, although it gave me a warning:

    Forcing reload of web server: Apache2 ... no pidfile found! not running?

    And, via ISPConfig I can NOT add new virtualhosts within my file /etc/apache2/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf.

    How can I solve this problem?

    This means that the PHP module is missing in your Apache configuration.

    Falko,

    But do you have any idea how i can install the PHP module again?
    I do not know which module i am missing ...
    Do i have to install Apache all over again from your Perfect Setup for Debian?

    Please post the output of
    Code:
    ls -la /etc/apache2/mods-available
    and
    Code:
    ls -la /etc/apache2/mods-enabled

    Falko,

    It must be something with php i think.
    The main problem is that new sites are not added in the file:
    vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf

    Here is the output you requested:

    For information

    Falko,

    for your information and to help you to the right track:

    Before i started with squirrelmail, i tried a setup with Horde/IMP.
    For that reason i read the documentation at http://www.horde.org and this thread: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?p=20195&mode=linear&highlight=Horde#post20195

    During my preparations for Horde i did the following as mentioned in the thread above:

    apt-get install php4-mcrypt
    apt-get install libfile-type-perl libapache2-mod-php4 libfile-mmagic-perl

    I guess my experience is not enough, but i did not succeed with Horde/IMP.
    The installation process was a little to complicated for me, so finally i choose for squirrelmail.

    So i removed the extra installed modules again with:

    apt-get remove php4-mcrypt
    apt-get remove libfile-type-perl libapache2-mod-php4 libfile-mmagic-perl

    I think since then, I can not add new virtual hosts anymore in /etc/apache2/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf

    Only a vhost file is added like /etc/apache2/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf_dd-mm-yy_hr-min-sec. but NOT within the /etc/apache2/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf itself!

    I also have to say that PHP-scripts with the websites i host do NOT function anymore !!

    I really hope we can solve this.

    Please make a backup of the file /etc/apache2/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf.

    Then rename the latest /etc/apache2/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf_dd-mm-yy_hr-min-sec file to /etc/apache2/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf

    The run:

    httpd -t

    and post the error message here.

    Till/Falko,

    I was very worried but everything is ok now.
    It was a puzzle to me.

    Because i could not write changes via ISPConfig to the config-files, I installed your hotfix according
    http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3695

    I also did:

    ps -ax |grep apache2
    killall apache2
    rm -f /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php4.conf
    a2enmod php4
    /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

    Now everything is up and running again, without any failure!

    Thanks for your reply anyway, i realy appreciate it!

    Hans (happy again)

    That's exactly what I would have suggested if you hadn't found out yourself. :)
