    Hi.

    I have read that nice article made by tado.

    Now I have some questions.

    The VMware I think this is a partition already on the Harddisk ?.

    I can see, that tado only is using one NIC.

    Is he then using a hardware router in the front of his server ?

    Thanks in advance for replies.

    No. VMWare is the name of the harddisk. I used the VMWare virtualisation software to write the howto. In your case, the harrdisk may ba nemaed seagate, quanrum, maxtor or any other harddisk manufacturer.

    I used a hardware router, but this does not matter. This is not a dialup setup, it is a setup that you may use either with a hardware router or with a server in a datacenter that is directly connected to the internet.

    Hi till.

    Thanks for a fast comming back with reply to my queries.

    Ok about the VMWare being the name of the harddisk.

    And then it is confirmed that you use a router. At the start of reading your setup tool, I had the idea, that you would use 2 NIC's. The reason for that is, that I do it myself yet on a Clarkconnect server, that I want to close, and install a SuSE 10.0 using your advice.

    I had not the idea about a dialup setup.

    I'm on DSL here 2048/512.

    If using 2 NIC's instead of a router, what if anything should then be changed with reference to your server setup article.

    Thanks again

    What do you want to do with your two network cards?

    But why don't you use your router for it? It should have a built-in switch.

    You are quite right, and now I have the router connected :)

    Works excellent, and I'm setting up the server at the present.

    I have reached the Apache section, but as I should run SuSEconfig, there is a claim, and I'm sure that's because I have modified the main.cf by hand. My experience is, that it gives that sort of problems.

    Shall I start another thread to show what I mean ?

    SuSEconfig is always complaining about /etc/postfix/main.cf. You can ignore it.

    I know, and thanks for that.

    I have the server up running now, but I have to examine why I cannot calle it by https://www.xxx.yyy:81.

    I have set it up for HTTPS. I have printed the manual out, and maby I can find the solution there.

    Hello again.

    Now I'm having a problem.

    After the install of ISPConfig, I rebooted as mentioned in the online manual.
    Alslo I ran the quotacheck:

    -avugm

    and

    quotaon -avug


    (should that be done after each restart ?.)

    Now after the reboot, I cannot call the ISPConfig.

    Before I could do it using the https:ip.for.mydomain:81

    I could not use the https://www.urbakken.dk:81, as I had the idea that I could, as I have set www during the install.

    Nor could I find a logfile where I could see what happens when I call ISPConfig.

    Is there a logfile for it, and where is it placed ?.

    Do anyone else have ideas to solve the problem ?

    Thanks in advance.

    The ISPConfig server did not ran.

    I found the command here in this forum:

    /etc/init.d/ispconfig_server restart

    Telle me please how many services do i have to manually start up after a boot, as I have at least encoutered 3-4 or so ?

    Run
    Code:
    chkconfig --add ispconfig_server
    to make ISPConfig start at boot time.

    No, just once.

    What do you think is the reason, that I can call ISPConfig using the server's IP, but not with it's url ?

    I guess it's a wrong or non-existing DNS record.

    Can you post the IP address and the URL you're trying to use to connect to ISPConfig?
