hi, i have been running ispconfig for about a month... but i got a problema now, when i was installing ispconfig, i was thinking that the user's web directories will be /home/, so i give /home the biggest partition!.... so i have to change the default web directory /var/www now... how can i change it?? i was thinking that, Code: move all the content of /var/www to a temp directory creat a directory named www at /home move all the content of the temp directory to /home/www remove the /var/www directoy and then ln -s /var/www /home/www/ is it OK? will it cause any problem?? thanks.
I recommend the following procedure. 1) the httpd, postfix, pop3,imap and ispconfig service. 2) Move /var/www to /home/www 3) Symlink /var/www to /home/www 4) start ISPConfig: /etc/init.d/ispconfig_server start and change the document root under management > server > settings on the web tab. then execute the following sql statement in the database to update all websites: update isp_isp_web set status = 'u' where status = ''; Now wait a few minutes until ISPConfig has changed the website config for all sites and start http, pop3, imap and mail daemon again.
Hmmm... I was trying to change the document root in the web interface for a similar reason, but it did not use the new one I specified, and displayed and used the old one again. So I changed the document root in the database directly too.
Oh I really don't remember because I'm using it for a long time now. Anyway, I was just thinking people might not often change their root directory, so maybe a bug has appeared in that piece of code at some time, and went unnoticed so far.
The problem that you described is normally caused by inserting the sql dump manually during installation as ISPConfig will not be able to save or read any config settings from the management > server settings part.
So what exactly is the difference when I insert it manually? Doesn't the ISPconfig installation routine just do a "mysql ... < dump.sql" or alike?
Your installation is incomplete and all server variables are set to defaults and not to the correct values for your system. No, the ISPConfig installer creates records dynamically based on your server configuration. These records are not in the SQL dump.
How can I actually find out if I imported the SQL dump or let the installer create the stuff? What should be missing?
Yes I do (have a table called isp_server) That is where I manually changed the new home directory in the server_path_httpd_root field because the UI wouldn't let me.
This table is always present, even if you imported it manually. The question is if this table has just one record inside which has the doc_id = 1
And the doc_id field of this record is 1 or not? If it doc_id = 1, it is ok, if doc_id > 1 its not ok.
Yeah it is = 1 . I tried changing it again, and this time it worked. (using the UI) Oh well thanks anyway!
how to change on web directory (sorry, it is how to change a web directory location. i couldnt change the subject.) If for example /var/www has no space to create more web site and for example i add new hard disk and mount it as /wwwdata then i want to create a new web site but not in /var/www because it has no space, instead in /wwwdata what is the best way you think? i used ln -s to point web3 to /wwwdata/web3 and www.example.com to /wwwdata/web3 Thanks for your reply..
i dont want to use this way instead as i have /wwwdata which is my new harddisk i thought it is better (because of space limitation) to move /var/www/web3 to /www/web3 and using ln -s , now i want to know is it good way or i have another choise? thanks for your attention, cameron
