using ispcfg 3 on debian squeeze according to the perfect debian server setup with apache2 I edited the website inside ispcfg3 and und unchecked the active check box. waited a few minutes for the system to write the changes then visited the web site and it is still accessible via browsers... Am I doing something wrong? I need to make this site inaccessible to the public till some problems are solved.
you may have to clear your browser chache or you can try a hard refresh by hitting ctrl/F5 at the same time
Disabling the site the way you did it should work. Are there any jobs listed in the jobqueue of the ispconfig monitor?
- nothing in the job queue - activating the site, saving, waiting 5 minutes, deactivating, saving waiting 5 minutes and the site is still accessible - the sites are disabled: http://screencast.com/t/L9ROzx8jWG - but they can still be accessed: http://www.quilombobrasil.com What else should I check? What is deactivating actually doing? Is it physically moving this vhost from apaches2/sites-enabled/ to apache2/sites-available/ ? If that is all that happens, I can manually do it... The reason I want these two websites deactivated is because the owner is MIA and the sites need some updating... its using really old and probably vulnerable stuff :-( I don't know if this is a problem, but these two vhosts I would like to disable look like this: quilombobrasil.com.vhost after enabling/disabling and saving a few times, now I have two vhosts: quilombobrasil.com.vhost and 100-quilombobrasil.com.vhost. Saved again, and now it is again only quilombobrasil.com.vhost - can I manually fi this somehow?
In sites-enabled are only symlinks, so no file is moved. Deactivating a site removes just the symlink in sites-enabled and when you activate the site, the symlink is created again. Please delete the symlink in sites-enabled manually and then reload apache to deactivate the site.
weird. all vhosts that start with 000- and 100- inside /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ are symlinks. All other vhosts are not symlinks. I deleted quilombobrasil.com.vhost restarted apache, waited, checked again and now everything works as expected: activating and deactivating properly creates/deletes symlinks. I think I need to do this with all vhosts that are not symlinks... Thanks for helping me out.
