    1) Create a website in ispconfig with php-fcgi and suexec enabled.
    2) Create a database in ispconfig.
    3) Go to the website directory (the best way is that you login with a shell user of that website, so you dont have to change any file owners) and follow the wordpress installation instructions:

    Dunno if you already resolved your question yourself.
    In ISPConfig you can either create a shell user account for that Web / User or the one I prefer is using a piece of software called "putty" Putty lets you connect via SSH as any existing user on you server. However, this way, you'll have to watch again for file permissions.
    Good luck!

    The 'root of your domain' in wordpress installation instructions is
    /var/www/clients/client5/web9/
    or
    /var/www/clients/client5/web9/web/
    ?
    Thnks

    I have mu subdomain/non-sub-domain variants working under ISPConfig on Jessie. There was nothing special in the installation and the aliasdomain function worked sweetly with matching domains with sub-domains. Its the usual Wordpress trick of:

    1) Setting up a database user
    2) setting up a database and attaching the user
    3) Wget the latest release and unzipping to your ../web directory
    4) Installing and or editing ws-config.php settings to match your database/user setup.

    ispconfig & wordpress are made for each other ... where are you stuck?

    The domain shows the following page
    HTML:
    <html><body><h1>It works!</h1>
<p>This is the default web page for this server.</p>
<p>The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet.</p>
</body></html>
    and the web folder has this page
    HTML:
    <body>
    <div id="page">
        <div id="header" class="header">
            <h1>Welcome to <!--ADRESSE//-->your website!<!--ADRESSE//--></h1>
        </div>
        <div id="content">
            <h2>This is the default index page of your website.</h2>
            <p>This file may be deleted or overwritten without any difficulty. This is produced by the file <b>index.html</b> in the <b>web</b> directory.</p>
            <p>For questions or problems please contact <!--SUPPORT//-->support<!--SUPPORT//-->.</p>
        </div>
        <div id="footer">

    There is no such thing as likea main domain, all domains are equal. Just ensure that you used a subdomain as the hostname for the server like server1.yourdomain.tld and not just yourdomain.tld (see perfect server setup instructions).

    The setup is absolutely fine, please reread my post above, I told you to check and change the hostname of your server.

    The commands:

    hostname

    and

    hostname -f

    have to return a hostname like server1.example.com, they may not return a domain name that you want to use for email or as website. So ify they return a domain that you want to use, then you configured a wrong hostbame before you installed ISPConfig and you have to correct that to get your server working as apache will redirect the website traffic to a wong site otherwise.

    That's ok.
    Which IP address did you select for the website?

    Ok, so you selected "179.43.128.239" in the Ip address field of this website in the ispconfig website settings?
