External DNS server

Hi.

I'm trying to make external DNS server A records to work with site running on ISPConfig 3.

This configuration should be possible, right?

But for some reason, I'm getting the server default welcome page, and not the site.

Any idea how to resolve this?

Thanks in advance!

 

Hi.

Ok, I partially sorted it out - just needed to define the domain correctly (domain.tld and not www.domain.tld - maybe some check in this page will help future users?).

The problem is that when I type domain.tld, I reach the site correctly, but when I type www.domain.tld, I reach the server default document directory.

The server is called exactly same name (www.domain.tld), could it be the reason?
If yes, anyway to fix it, or I have to change the server name?

Thanks in advance!

 

Hi.

This is exactly what I have, but on www.domain.tld I'm receiving the server (Debian) "It works!" page, and not the site virtual host.

Again, my server is named exactly in same way - www.domain.tld. Could it be related?

Thanks again!

 

Hi.

Any idea about the issue?

I really need to sort this out soon, otherwise will need to re-install the server with another name - which I really don't want.

Thanks in advance!

 

Hi.

Here it is:

Code:

<Directory /var/www/1trabajo1.com>
    AllowOverride None
    Order Deny,Allow
    Deny from all
</Directory>

<VirtualHost *:80>
      DocumentRoot /var/www/1trabajo1.com/web

    ServerName 1trabajo1.com
    ServerAlias [url]www.1trabajo1.com[/url]
    ServerAdmin [email][email protected][/email]

    ErrorLog /var/log/ispconfig/httpd/1trabajo1.com/error.log

    ErrorDocument 400 /error/400.html
    ErrorDocument 401 /error/401.html
    ErrorDocument 403 /error/403.html
    ErrorDocument 404 /error/404.html
    ErrorDocument 405 /error/405.html
    ErrorDocument 500 /error/500.html
    ErrorDocument 503 /error/503.html

    <Directory /var/www/1trabajo1.com/web>
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
    <Directory /var/www/clients/client1/web3/web>
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>

    # php as fast-cgi enabled
    <Directory /var/www/1trabajo1.com/web>
        AddHandler fcgid-script .php .php3 .php4 .php5
        FCGIWrapper /var/www/php-fcgi-scripts/web3/.php-fcgi-starter .php
        Options +ExecCGI
        AllowOverride all
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>


</VirtualHost>

Thanks.

 

Do you use www.1trabajo1.com somewhere else in your Apache configuration? What are the outputs of

Code:

hostname

and

Code:

hostname -f

?

 

Hi.

That's the point - the server itself is also called www.1trabajo1.com, so it maybe what is causing the issue?

The results of commands:

www:~# hostname
www.1trabajo1.com
www:~# hostname -f
www.1trabajo1.com

Thanks again.

 

Yes, thats is the first problem. read how to set an hostname in "perfect server config".
Hostname is not used for domain resolving so if you add. xpto.anyname.com as hostname ispconfig will work.

 

Hi.

Thanks for the advice!

I changed the server name and updated the hosts file, and all works now.

Should I change anything in ISPConfig as well, or it will pick the name change by itself?

Regards.

 

The name is in the mysql database. just change there i never tried, i think that will work.

Hi.

So the only thing I need to update is the field in ISPConfig DB?

Anything else that should be done?

Thanks again.

 

/etc/hosts and database record and maybe will work.
Backup and try.

 

Hi.

Any idea where are the settings for DB are stored, for ISPConfig 3?

Regards.

 

Hi.

Thanks - I should have think of this myself!

There are 2 settings, Edit server and Server config (which may be needed to be unified?).

I presume I should update them both?

Regards.
