hello everybody this is my first try with linux server so i am no expert, but i learned some new things with linux, i used debian etch 4.0r1server also i followed the perfect setup for debian etch instructions and thanks alot to mr/Falko without this help it will take me may be at least a few months to set it up. I have ISPConfig installed and i setup the DNS on it for the domain ,i checked the box Create DNS , the domain is registered with a company (registerar) , also i have to mension that i am using a Router with a cable modem. now I can see the site (index) on the localhost but i can't see it or access it outside the server on the web or the internet, i tried so many computers to get to the site from outside but it does not work. I ping the dns from network tools and it works fine also if i enter the ip in browser from outside computer on the web it comes on with shared IP page but if i use the name www.mydomain.com it syas cannot find page. I ping the dns [ns1.mydomain.com] from another computer it says Request timed out. I don't know what i am missing , i even reinstalled the OS 3 times to clean the system and still didn't work. so i am not sure what could be the reason, is it the files like hosts, hostname, network interfaces, or could be from ISPConfig ? I attached some files in zip format it may help. Thanks very much for help in advance it will be appreciated.
Thanks for your reply hello mr/Falko Thanks for your response. the domain name is: kandkmarket.com I attached some files may be it will help. Thanks again for your help i appreciate it.

Thanks again and here is whois results. hello again here is whois results for the site : Domain Name: KANDKMARKET.COM Registrar: TUCOWS INC. Whois Server: whois.tucows.com Referral URL: http://domainhelp.opensrs.net Name Server: NS1.KANDKMARKET.COM Name Server: NS2.KANDKMARKET.COM Status: clientTransferProhibited Status: clientUpdateProhibited Updated Date: 10-dec-2007 Creation Date: 04-mar-2002 Expiration Date: 04-mar-2008 You think the registrar could send the dns wrong numbers ? by the way i have to explain somthing: 1- i am with cable company with cable modem and i am using a netgear router also i setup a static ip in the router with: 192.168.0.100. 2- i called cable company and they gave me the dns numbers and when i ping with network tools this numbers works. I don't know what to say , if it is my server or from the registrar , would it be a bad idea to go to easyDNS and take a secondary dns ? is that will work? as i mensioned i my first post that i am very new to linux and i am trying it because i got tired of others, i am doing my best to get this server working, sometime may be i mess up the files because i don't know better. should i format or just install debian from the beginning again? another thing , could it be ISPConfig setup for dns is wrong ? Today i got email from the registrar(domainnamesystems) they offer a dns $10 a year also they offer a dynamic dns for cable modems and router as private server, If you think it is better to take one of those fine with me. also i saw a tutorial on the web (How to create your own DNS) finally my cable company support said i don't need one because i am using router. Thanks again for your help

Thanks mr/falco again hello mr/falco again I really apreciate you help very much. I added records like you said in the previous post and i think it not the dns the problem may be either it is comming from the router or one of my files is not right because i add the index page to: /var/www/web1/web/kandkmarket.com and still on my server it says : (server not found) also from other computers (page cannot be displayed), I put the sites available for kandkmarket and link it to sites enabled also and i will give you here what the (vhosts_ispconfig) looks like , & sites enabled (www.kandkmarket also looks like: vhosts_ispconfig : ------------------------------- ################################### # # ISPConfig vHost Configuration File # Version 1.0 # ################################### # NameVirtualHost 192.168.0.100:80 <VirtualHost 192.168.0.100:80> ServerName localhost ServerAdmin root@localhost DocumentRoot /var/www/sharedip </VirtualHost> # # ###################################### # Vhost: www.kandkmarket.com:80 ###################################### # # <VirtualHost 192.168.0.100:80> SuexecUserGroup nobody web1 ServerName www.kandkmarket.com:80 ServerAdmin [email protected] DocumentRoot /var/www/web1/web ServerAlias www.kandkmarket.com DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php index.php5 index.php4 index.php3 index.shtml index.cgi index.pl index.jsp Default.htm default.htm ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/web1/cgi-bin/ AddHandler cgi-script .cgi AddHandler cgi-script .pl ErrorLog /var/www/web1/log/error.log AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .php4 .php5 <Files *.php> SetOutputFilter PHP SetInputFilter PHP </Files> <Files *.php3> SetOutputFilter PHP SetInputFilter PHP </Files> <Files *.php4> SetOutputFilter PHP SetInputFilter PHP </Files> <Files *.php5> SetOutputFilter PHP SetInputFilter PHP </Files> php_admin_flag safe_mode On php_admin_value open_basedir /var/www/web1/ php_admin_value file_uploads 1 php_admin_value upload_tmp_dir /var/www/web1/phptmp/ php_admin_value session.save_path /var/www/web1/phptmp/ Alias /error/ "/var/www/web1/web/error/" ErrorDocument 400 /error/invalidSyntax.html ErrorDocument 401 /error/authorizationRequired.html ErrorDocument 403 /error/forbidden.html ErrorDocument 404 /error/fileNotFound.html ErrorDocument 405 /error/methodNotAllowed.html ErrorDocument 500 /error/internalServerError.html ErrorDocument 503 /error/overloaded.html AliasMatch ^/~([^/]+)(/(.*))? /var/www/web1/user/$1/web/$3 AliasMatch ^/users/([^/]+)(/(.*))? /var/www/web1/user/$1/web/$3 </VirtualHost> # # # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- here is sites enabled (www.kandkmarket.com --------------------------------------------------------------- # # kandkmarket.com (/etc/apache2/sites-available/www.kandkmarket.com) # <VirtualHost *> ServerAdmin [email protected] ServerName www.kandkmarket.com ServerAlias kandkmarket.com # Indexes + Directory Root.

I hope i am not bothering you too much, i know your time is valuable. I almost gave up on this server but i hate to go to others OS, i know i filled up those posts with my files and sorry about that. for now i can see everything under (services) in ispconfig (online) so at least we correct this part thanks to you. Thanks alot again.

Hello again hello again mr/falko Thanks for your help. i can get now the dns with dig, now it becamse another story: i forward the ports on the router and setup on lan static ip , now if i write the address on the server machine i see the site, if i do it from another computer with windows xp still says (page cannot be displayed) so it sounds like the local is working only, when i forward the ports i choose outbound not in bound , so is this wrong ? Thanks for your help again.

Thanks for your reply hello again how to create records for kandkmarket.com & www.kandkmarket.com , if you talking about sites-available & sites-enabled it is done, plus i created sites on ispconfig under sites with the name : kandkmarket.com? is what i did right ? if it is not please tell me how to do it, i will appreciate it. again please be patient with me as i mensioned in the very first post i am very new to linux but now i think i am getting better, at least i have an idea where is the files and directories + some commands with your help. Thanks again
Are ns1.kandkmarket.com and ns2.kandkmarket.com your own servers? Do you run ISPConfig on them? If so, you can use these tutorials to set up DNS: http://www.howtoforge.com/ispconfig_dns_godaddy http://www.howtoforge.com/ispconfig_dns_providerdomain_schlund
