In a recent post I read that, during installation, the hostname/domain for ISPConfig should be different than an intended virtual host. I did not see that in either the FC4 Perfect setup nor the ISPConfig manual. What problems will this cause, and can I change that in Server Settings in the management menu, or do I have to do a reinstall?
Hi, just use a technical domain for your ispconfig box. That means you just use the technical domain for /etc/hostname /hostname and postfix ;-) in $mydomain and you should not add a web with this domain. you can change this, you dont need to reinstall all .... greetings cirox
I think I understand what you're saying. I do have another IP with a .net domain. I think I changed that in the ISPConfig server settings. I'll have to see if I can find those other files and check what's in there. In that case, the tech domain will be the actual mailserver for all domains?
The mailserver for a domain is what is specified in that domain's MX record. If the MX record points to your server, then your server is the mailserver for the domain.
Understood. So I assume that the hostname/domain as initially configured during the FC4 install would be that server.
Thtas correct. If you want to chnage this, you will have to modify /etc/hostname too: echo server1.example.com > /etc/hostname /bin/hostname -F /etc/hostname where server1.example.com is your technical domain.
