Installation: in-putting your website

    Hi, I am failing miserably with my 1st install of ISPconfig. When it gets to the part: Please enter the host name (e.g www) I put www.

    When it gets to the part: Please enter the domain (e.g xyz.de), I want to know if this domain must physically exist. If so, should the previous entry about: ISPConfig web (e.g 192.168.0.1) be the external ip of that xyz.de ???

    Please see below for some errors I am experiencing. Hope someone can shed some light.

    Many thanks.

    It's okay... I just saw a suggestion by Falko in other thread: Ignore host name and use host ip for the domain entry. I guess this means the hostname (e.g www) is referring to the host name of the machine being installed to and not the web prefix 3w. I'm going to try this for the 7th time and hope I have ir right now.

    :D

    If your server is server1.example.com, then the hostname is server1, and the domain is example.com. But server1.example.com must point to the system where ISPConfig is going to be installed.

    I use a firewall that uses port 81 for web configuration. Could this be the problem. i was hoping to get passed this stage before changing the port for ISPConfig to 8080. :confused:

    Ok. A final install seemed to have fixed stuff without me doing anything different but now I have:

    "Could not establish an encryted connection because certificate presented by 192.168.1.20 is invalid or corrupted. Error Code: -8182" Help..... How can I fix this without going through the whole :eek: install exercise again?

    Cheers

    You cannot use netex01 as host name and then enter an IP address as domain. This results in netex01.192.168.1.5 which makes no sense. You can either leave the host name empty and enter an IP address as domain or (preferred) enter a host name and a domain (no IP address!).

    Success

    I ignored the hostname and used Ip address. GREEAAAT! Nice product. I have now forgotten my admin password. Do I have to reinstall?

    What's the output of
    Code:
    netstat -tap
    ?
    Did you set up your server exactly as shown in the Perfect Setup?
