Ispconfig web interface : rewrite in .vhost

Hi,
I am currently setting up ispconfig3 on ubuntu 18.04.
I run
cd /tmp; wget --no-check-certificate -O installer.tgz "https://github.com/servisys/ispconfig_setup/tarball/master"; tar zxvf installer.tgz; cd *ispconfig*; bash install.sh
I am on multiserver config with Apache, mariadb, and other standards
All is working good.

I see that when I send a request to port 8080 whatever the domain (exam.tlp, sub.exam.tld, server.exam.tld) it goes to ispconfig web interface.
I have letsencrypt cert on server.exam.tlp only.
So that, I would like to answer only with server.exam.tld to avoid alert due to security concerns.

To do so, I am modifying /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-ispconfig.vhost

First I add "ServerName server.exam.tld" just after
"
...
<VirtualHost _default_:8080>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
ServerName server.exam.tld
...
"
but I hadn't result !

Now I try rewrite doing :
"
Listen 8080
NameVirtualHost *:8080
<VirtualHost _default_:8080>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond "%{SERVER_PORT}" "^8080$"
RewriteRule "(.*)" "https://server.exam.tld:8080"
"
but Mozilla answer to "exam.tld:8080"
is
"
https://exam.tld:8080/index.html/in.../index.html/index.html/index.html/index.html/
"
This is not exactly what I want.
I would like "https://server.exam.tld:8080"
I don't see my mistake.
Thanks

 

1. It is not advisable to edit ispconfig.vhost directly or via symlink as it will be overwriiten with default during update.
2. It is advise to use conf-custom if you really need to customize the same.
3. Ensure your php (with all of its required dependencies) for ISPConfig is the default shipped with your OS.
4. Ensure restarting apache each time you manually make a change to vhost files to see its effects but do note it will be overwritten when ISPConfig is resynced or updated.

 

Hi,
Many thanks for your helps.
@ahrasis that's written when you do apachectl -S (in bold)
@Jesse Norell Here below, w/O and with vhost modified (IP : x.y.z modified by myself)
I see no differences !

I will try the modification in conf-custom.
Where can I find it for ISPconfig ?

This is what I found out !

Here what I did.
Not sure it is correct
root@server1:/usr/local/ispconfig/server/conf# cp apache_apps.vhost.master /usr/local/ispconfig/server/conf-custom
root@server1:/usr/local/ispconfig/server/conf-custom# nano apache_apps.vhost.master

next in browser : https://x.y.z.64:8080/ (IP : x.y.z modified by myself)
unfortunately, no changes !

 

if all you've done is copied the template file to conf-custom and then edited it there, then it hasn't made any changes to the live configuration. i'm not sure if a resync of websites will affect the interface config. might need to force an ispconfig update.

also, if it's the ispconfig interface you're trying to affect (port 8080), shouldn't you be using the apache_ispconfig_vhost.master template from the install tarball ispconfig3-install/install/tpl folder, which i believe should be copied to /usr/local/ispconfig/server/conf-custom/install/
the apache_apps_vhost.master is for stuff usually on port 8081.

 

Fully right.
It works doing like this. Nevertheless, I forgive this solution that leads to custom conf to manage when ISP will be updated !
