Thats all fine and the error shows that your system is working correctly. You canm not access a website folder trogh the IP address, if that would be possible, everyone would be able to hack your server easily. To access a website, enter the webite domain in the browser. In your case, open a browser and enter: http://mywebsite.com
Thanks Till for the answer Then I have to set up my home webserver for an internet access? I recorded mywebsite.com on Godaddy.com I have to look the follow page: http://www.howtoforge.com/ispconfig_dns_godaddy to set up my home webserver to access mywebsite.com opening a browser? thanks S
For testing purposes you can modify the hosts file on your client: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=432&highlight=hosts+file+windows
Hi Falko, I have a linux box with Debian Squeeze (last stable version) If I want an internet access to my home webserver I have to read this? http://www.howtoforge.com/ispconfig_dns_godaddy sorry If I repeat the question but I don't understand your answer saludos, S
You must create DNS records on the authoritative name servers for your domain. These can be your registrar's name servers or your ISPConfig servers or any other server. You can find these out by running Code: dig ns yourdomain.com If your ISPConfig name servers are authoritative, you should take a look at this guide: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-ru...and-secondary-with-ispconfig-3-debian-squeeze For testing purposes (if you don't want to change DNS records), you can modify your client PC's hosts file.
Hi all, I have now two questions and I try to answer to second one If this is no correct I apologize in advance 1. If I want to use Ispconfig and I registered the websites on Godaddy to redirect on my private home websever I need two ip-address? 2. I don't have two ip-address and I register the website on Godaddy I can't use Ispconfig? If the answer at point 2 is yes then I can use Ispconfig to use a website registered on Godaddy with only an ip-address I have to simply follow these following steps: a. Create a DNS RECORD from the back end of Ispconfig (I don't want to change DNS records) Template: Default Server: server1.mywebsite.com Client: client1 Domain: mywebsite.com IP Address: <IP-ADDRESS of the website. ping www.mywebsite.com> NS 1: ns1.mywebsite.com NS 2: ns2.mywebsite.com Email: [email protected] b. I modify my client PC's hosts file. In my home webserver I have 3 host files /etc/hosts /etc/resolv.conf /etc/bind/named.conf I decided to change /etc/resolv.conf (why? 'cause I red nameserver in it) # Generated by NetworkManager nameserver 192.168.1.254, ns1.mywebsite.com, ns2.mywebsite.com After I restart my home webserver when I write on the browser www.mywebsite.com I have to see the website that I have on my webserver in the following directory: /var/www/mywebsite.com/web I made the a. and b. changes but I can't see my folder website. I don't have any idea why this solution doen't work I'm looking for another solution & bye, S pd. mybe when here talk about vhost file is this? /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mywebsite.com.vhost
If you want to run your own nameservers with ISPConfig, then you need two IP addresses. However, it is not required that you use the ISPConfig DNS module - for most people it is easier to use the nameservers provided by their registrar. For example, if you use GoDaddy to register your domains, you can create and manage your DNS records from GoDaddy's control panel, and then you don't need ISPConfig's DNS module. Of course, you can still use ISPconfig to create web sites, email accounts, etc.
Hi Falko, first of all thanks for your answer now if I put on my browser the URL of the website: mywebsite.com point to follow directory /var/www/ but I want to point at following directory: /var/www/clients/client1/mywebsite.com/web I don't know if I have to edit a file example: mywebsite.conf at the following file /etc/apache2/sites-available/mywebsite.com.vhost bye, S
You dont have to edit any config files. If apache points the domain to /var/www, then the dns record and apache settings dont match or you missed to enable the auto subdomain www setting. Please check thet you selected the same IP address in the website settings that you used for the dns A-Record of the domain.
the website dns record are in Godaddy at Nameservers record and are NS75.DOMAINCONTROL.COM NS76.DOMAINCONTROL.COM my dns file server on my Apache Home Webserver is /etc/resolv.conf and I have the follow code ......................................................... # Generated by NetworkManager nameserver 192.168.1.254 ......................................................... I don't know if my resolv.conf is incorrect in godaddy in dns A-Record I have the IP-Adrress of the website (http://www.mywebsite.com) and I can't replace with mine becouse my IP Address is dynamic I have a NO-IP website that point to my var/www/indes.html file on my apache home webserver with ISPConfig installed I don't know if I describe well which is my problem, saludos, S
You have to select your internal IP address in the website settings, the one where you forwarded port 80 and 443 to from your router and not the dynamic external IP.
