I recently been wanting to get a server up and running and stop paying a provider. I got everything working and then deceded to run the latest ispconfig.. They have changed the place where all the user web sites are stored on debian.. (Agggh!) I like that the majority of the wear and tear of the harddriveto be contained to the / (root) and swap part of the harddrive.. gives me anouther chance to recover the data.. I was happy with a decent swap, fair size root and what ever was left for the storage of webhosting ( /home/ ) I was shocked to find that they changed it.. !! (in the latest version of ispconfig for debian ) Now I am curuious where do I change this in the configuration files.. I want to copy it all over to a www dir ( /home/www) and make a symbolic link Can I do this? will this work? I am not about to reload and fight with etch v4 debian ( I should write a tutorial!) Thanks
You should have used the expert mode during installation, there you can choose /home/www. Move all files from /var/www to /home/www, then change /var/www in the isp_server table in the ISPConfig MySQL database. Also change the users' home directories in /etc/passwd and the paths in Vhosts_ispconfig.conf. I hope I haven't forgotten anything.
How to cleanly remove ispconfig from debian SO with out caring too much for the One website I setup for testting.. What do I delete to reinstall ispconfig so I can start fresh with advanced config.. Thanks Also is there a list some place where everything is installed? Maybe someone can ppoint me in the right direction..
To remove ISPConfig, execute the script: /root/ispconfig/uninstall Then you can reinstall ISPConfig afterwards.
What if you followed this http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9871&highlight=ispconfig+remove and you removed the sql directory and now its sorta messed.. how would I remove everything that would allow me to install fresh So there is the /root/ispconfig then what do I delete in the var and any place else?
Which SQL directory did you delete exactly. If you delted just the datbase directory, there cant be anything messed up. There is no solution to run the uninstall script anymore as you followed the other uninstall instructions. Please run: rm -fr /home/admispconfig rm -rf /root/ispconfig make sure you removed the database and install ISPConfig again.
Only the uninstaller deletes the content too. But there is no problem with the content, ISPConfig will overwrite it, you will just have to empty the web directories.
