    Hi,

    I just got my new server. I installed ISPConfig on it perfectly, but then I accidentally deleted /root/ispconfig. In my haste I deleted /home/admispconfig and [insert other directory here] and tried to reinstall.

    I've tried upwards of 3 times, each time unsuccessful.

    How can I revert back to a "clean" system - no apache, bind, etc.. without reformatting?

    I'm on Debian Etch.


    Thanks.

    If you deleted several directories beside /root/ispconfig and /home/admispconfig manually, you will have to reinstall your server as we can not tell you waht to do without knowing what was deleted exactly.

    I think I only remove /home/admispconfig, but after an unsuccessful reinstall I then deleted /root/ispconfig and /home/admispconfig.



    Thanks,
    James.

    Ok, if you just deleted these two directories, you dont have to reinstall your server.

    1) Run the following commands to make sure that you really deleted ISPConfig:

    rm -rf /home/admispconfig
    rm -rf /root/ispconfig

    2) Delete the ISPConfig database, the esaiest way is to delete the directory that is has the same name then the database in /var/lib/mysql/

    3) Unpack the ispconfig installer tar.gz file in /tmp/ again and run the setup script to reinstall ISPConfig.

    Hi,

    I reinstalled ISPConfig and created a domain, but I see the Shared IP page on it.

    How can I sort this out?

    Thanks.


    EDIT: I gave it some time and then it worked. The problem I have now is with php files [Example]. I've enabled php in the site management.

    PHP is working now. :)

    Yeah. I had to manually mode php5.load and php5.conf to mods-enabled and add the php lines to Vhosts_ispconfig.conf, though :(

    I also created some new domains. The DNS is working, but the Vhosts haven't been added to Vhosts_ispconfig.conf though. This might be because root saved the file - what user needs to own it?

    What's the output of
    Code:
    ls -la /etc/apache2/vhosts
    ?

    I renamed the latest Vhosts_ispconfig.conf_xx file to Vhosts_ispconfig.conf, restarted apache and it all seems to be good.

    Thanks :)

    Code:
    httpd -t
    ?
