Hello all, I have a cable connection, with permission to run apache,exim,bind etc, as I pay extra every month. I setup ISPConfig, but may have messes up a setting or two... I will use these settings as an example. My wide area ip is 64.24.1.1 and the server is at 192.168.2.107 I opened all the needed ports, and forwarded them to 192.168.2.107 in the router. First, In management, server,settings I have the IP Address as 192.168.2.107, now Im wondering if I need to open /etc/network/interfaces and add 64.24.1.1 and change the server ip address Second, The server was set up with a domain I own but have not updated the dns to point to it, I only did it to get through the install. we can call it mydot.com I called the server server1.mydot.com, thinking that the servers domain didnt matter, as once I was comfortable with ISPConfig I would add the virtual domain myother.com as this is the important one. So I guess Im asking, does the servers main domain have to be "real and setup" for any other virtual domains to work ? Thanks ! HoopsX3
1) No, you dont have to add your external IP if you use a router. You will have to use your internal IP for websites and your external IP for DNS records in the ISPConfig DNS-Manager. 2) Yes. The sever uses this domain as sender address for sending mails. If it does not exist, most mailservers will refuse the delivery of your emails.
