Here is my task. I currently have a website and email server running on a Microsoft Server. I want to move all of this to my newly installed Linux Server with ISPConfig 2. The website is www.dccathome.com on Apache 2.2 My mailserver is mail.dccathome.com on Microsoft Exchange. Obviously I have my own domain name. It is registered with. NS12.ZONEEDIT.COM NS14.ZONEEDIT.COM My Ip address is dynamic and right now I have zonedits dynamic dns client intalled on the Microsoft server in case the IP address changes. To get things up and running I don't mind changing it manually. It hasn't change in 8 months so that is fine. What I need is what screens in ISPConfig 2 do I put the information in. ? I have looked at the ISPConfig starter pages but it doesn't make sense to me what I put in what fields. I will worry about moving the webpages over and I will start a new with the emails. If anymore information is needed let me know. Thanks for the help ahead of time. Dan
OK I have done some more playing around with this and here is where I am at. As far as the Apache part for my webserver all I have to do is tell my firewall to point to the new Linux server and www.mydomain.com goes to the server. All fine with that. All I have to do is move my webpages over to it. Next task is the mail server part. I think I do need help with getting that up and running. It needs to be mail.mydomain.com How do I set that up so mail goes to it? Thanks Dan
You must set up an MX record, e.g. as follows: Code: mydomain.com. MX 10 mail.mydomain.com. Make sure that there's an A record for mail.mydomain.com (CNAME doesn't work).
I hate to be so basic but can you tell me what ISPConfig 2 screens do I enter the information in. I assume I have to set up a user that would be me with my email address to guide the emails to the mailbox I want them in. By just changing my firewall from using 192.168.0.10(Microsoft box) to 192.168.0.20 (Linux Box) my web sever came up on the Linux box. Will the same work for my mail? One other question I just thought about. Is there a way to remote in to ISPConfig from the outside? With a Microsoft XP computer? Thanks Dan
Please take a look at the ispconfig.org documentation page, you will find the first steps guide and user manuals there which explain everything in detail.
