Ok, I installed ISPConfig with The Perfect Setup - Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon (7.10). Now the next step is to know how to configure a website in it and displaying it properly on the internet. Currently, I tried to set it up and i see the Document Root directory ("/") file list. I doubt I am not supposed to see that, I am supposed to be seeing the site in "/www.synarchydesign.com/web/". I would like to know how to create the zones, plans, records, and every possible thing to do. I also have another problem: For some reason only I can see this problem. Others see a "Server not found" error. What would be the problem. In all the configurations I have done, I have put my external IP (75.74.102.247) instead of my internal IP (192.168.1.4). I have port forwarding enabled in my router with http, ftp, ispconfig, dns, and all the others in the Firewall tab of ISPConfig pointing towards 192.168.1.4. What could be the problem for this? Thanks! EDIT: My website is http://synarchydesign.com and I wanted to know how i can get the www. part working. I checked the ports in the router AND in ISPConfig, and are open. I have TelNet working on TCP port 23, is that alright?
Reading the manuals on http://www.ispconfig.org/documentation.htm is a good starting point. If your server is behind a router within a LAN, your ISPConfig server should have the internal IP-address 192.168.1.4. Within your router you need to set portforwarding from your public IP-address 75.74.102.247 to your internal IP-address 192.168.1.4. Ports to be forwarded are: FTP, PORT 21 SSH, PORT 22 HTTP, PORT 80 ISPCONFIG, PORT 81 HTTPS, PORT 443 SMTP, PORT 25 POP, PORT 110 IMAP, PORT 143 DNS, 53 Port 23 for Telnet is ok, but I advise you to use SSH, not Telnet as it is more secure. For using SSH, you need to open/forward port 22. To setup a SSH-connection to from any local desktop to your server, you can use a program like Putty, which can be downloaded here: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html Your whole directory is displayed and that's not ok. Can you publish the content of your file /etc/apache2/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf ?
I had originally had both telnet AND ssh open. I have checked all my ports again in ISPConfig and my router configuration manager, and all the necessary ports are open. I have read the documentation, yet when I try to implement these, i still can not get my site available to the public. Also, I do not understand which IP's I have to put where. Here is my vHost file: Code: ################################### # # ISPConfig vHost Configuration File # Version 1.0 # ################################### # NameVirtualHost 75.74.102.247:80 <VirtualHost 75.74.102.247:80> ServerName localhost ServerAdmin root@localhost DocumentRoot /var/www/sharedip </VirtualHost> # # ###################################### # Vhost: www.synarchydesign.com:80 ###################################### # # <VirtualHost 75.74.102.247:80> ServerName www.synarchydesign.com:80 ServerAdmin [email protected] DocumentRoot /var/www/web1/web ServerAlias synarchydesign.com www.synarchydesign.com DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php index.php5 index.php4 index.php3 index.shtml index.cgi index.pl index.jsp Default.htm default.htm ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/web1/cgi-bin/ AddHandler cgi-script .cgi AddHandler cgi-script .pl ErrorLog /var/www/web1/log/error.log AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .php4 .php5 <Files *.php> SetOutputFilter PHP SetInputFilter PHP </Files> <Files *.php3> SetOutputFilter PHP SetInputFilter PHP </Files> <Files *.php4> SetOutputFilter PHP SetInputFilter PHP </Files> <Files *.php5> SetOutputFilter PHP SetInputFilter PHP </Files> php_admin_flag safe_mode On php_admin_value open_basedir /var/www/web1/ php_admin_value file_uploads 1 php_admin_value upload_tmp_dir /var/www/web1/phptmp/ php_admin_value session.save_path /var/www/web1/phptmp/ AddType text/html .shtml AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml AddType application/vnd.wap.wmlscriptc .wmlsc .wsc AddType text/vnd.wap.wml .wml AddType text/vnd.wap.wmlscript .ws .wmlscript AddType image/vnd.wap.wbmp .wbmp Alias /error/ "/var/www/web1/web/error/" ErrorDocument 400 /error/invalidSyntax.html ErrorDocument 401 /error/authorizationRequired.html ErrorDocument 403 /error/forbidden.html ErrorDocument 404 /error/fileNotFound.html ErrorDocument 405 /error/methodNotAllowed.html ErrorDocument 500 /error/internalServerError.html ErrorDocument 503 /error/overloaded.html AliasMatch ^/~([^/]+)(/(.*))? /var/www/web1/user/$1/web/$3 AliasMatch ^/users/([^/]+)(/(.*))? /var/www/web1/user/$1/web/$3 </VirtualHost> # # # Thanks!
Within your vhost file i see that the external public IP-address has been used, while your server is behind a router. So this is not correct. You can correct this by changing the server IP-address within ISPConfig under Management > Server > Settings > IP Address: 192.168.1.4. Dont forget to press "save" after changing the IP-address.
The first thing you need to do is setup your nameservers. When i dig synarchydesign.com this is the result: Code: ; <<>> DiG 9.3.3rc2 <<>> synarchydesign.com ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 22710 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 2, ADDITIONAL: 1 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;synarchydesign.com.

Nobody can find your site because the nameservers are incorrect. You must use valid nameservers that are setup at your domain registrar. That would be Network Solutions, GoDaddy, etc. This is not something you can do on your server. Something like: ns1.synarchydesign.com ns2.synarchydesign.com Those nameservers must point to the IP address of your server and you must list the nameservers in ISPConfig. If you search this forum you will find lots of info regarding DNS and nameservers. Does your servers have more than one IP address? If so, the 2 nameservers should point to different addresses on your server. If your server only has one IP address it requires a little more work when you setup the nameservers at your registrar. Also, use your INTERNAL IP address in ISP Manager and your EXTERNAL IP address in DNS Manager.
