On an Ubuntu test server, I have several sites set up. When I tried to delete one site, it deleted everything under /var/www. I can consistently reproduce this. I go to the Sites section of the ispconfig control panel and click the delete button for one site, and everything disappears. Any idea what is going on?
Which exact ISPConfig version do you use? Have you altered any website paths in the ispconfig mysql database or did you set different website paths under System > Server config > web?
ISPConfig Version: 3.0.4.3 I have not altered paths in the mysql db, nor have I changed paths under System > Server Config > Web.
Please enable debugging in ispconfig and run the server.sh script as described in the faq and post the complete output that you get when you delete a site. http://www.faqforge.com/linux/debugging-ispconfig-3-server-actions-in-case-of-a-failure/

The paths in the server config must be wrong or empty. Please login to the ispconfig mysql database with phpmyadmin, go to the server table, inside this table must be one record, edit / open that record in phpmyadmin, copy the whole content of the field "config" and post it here. You can change the domain name and ip addresses in the config before you post it, but dont change any paths.

The source of the problem is that the paths that I mentined in #2 of this thread have been altered on your setup. The paths that you currently use instruct ispconfig to use /var/www for each website and not a sub directory, so when you delete a site, /var/www has to be deleted. To fix that, set the correct paths again under System > Server Config > Web. The paths are: Website basedir: /var/www Website path: /var/www/clients/client[client_id]/web[website_id] Wevbsite Symlinks: /var/www/[website_domain]/:/var/www/clients/client[client_id]/[website_domain]/
Ah, thank you! I took this over from an admin that is no longer here, it looks like it is set up less than optimally. The websites are deployed in /var/www/[domain], instead of where you note, and there are no sym links. Will this cause problems down the road? I mean, should I edit the configs to match what I have now, or should I move the websites where they belong, and edit the configs to match what you just gave me? Thanks again for the help, Till...
/var/www/domain.tld/ should be a symlink which ponts to a path like /var/www/clients/client1/web1/ The symlinks are just there for easier navigation on the shell, if you use /var/www/domain.tld/ as real path and not symlink, then your websites will break as soon as you change a domain name of a website.
I have edited the configs back to the default and moved the websites to the correct location on the server, creating symlinks as necessary. So everything is as it should have been from the beginning. All my websites are up and functioning properly. I have also corrected /etc/passwd, as the homedirs for the webX id's were set to /var/www. However, when I remove a website, it still deletes /var/www.
