    Hello all,

    I have ispconfig on debian 3.1 installed. I created some websites but only one website is available. Also the IP address are not pingable. I meant I have raed something about a multiple IP issue in the forum. I googled and watched the forum but can not find the information. Or Im wrong?

    can someone help?

    AFAIK it is not neccesary to add all IPs in /etc/network/interfaces, it should be done in ispconfig. And that is what I did. I can remember that I have to edit a file to make ispconfig able to use multiple IPs. Correct?
    Where and what is it?

    Can someone help?

    I have at the moment 16 IP's (1 real IP and 15 virtual IP's) on my Debiab Sarge 3.1 server, and to make it work I did need to do it that way.

    I have almost the same problem.
    My ISP give me a Dynamic IP address for my server connected to Internet, public [email protected]
    I asked for a second IP@ for my server and add it in the right section under ISPConfig, but even after a new server start it is not working.
    So i add this second IP@ manually into the "/etc/network/interfaces" in this way:

    ---------------------- /etc/network/interfaces ------------------------
    auto lo eth0
    iface lo inet loopback

    iface eth0 inet dhcp

    auto eth0:0
    iface eth0:0 inet static
    address 12.34.56.78
    netmask 255.255.255.255
    # network 192.168.0.0
    broadcast 12.34.56.78
    gateway 1.2.3.4
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------

    This is the result now with "ifconfig" command is:

    ------------------------ ifconfig -------------------------------------

    eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:30:05:BB:A4:38
    inet addr:12.34.56.77 Bcast:12.34.56.77 Mask:255.255.255.255
    UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
    RX packets:4284 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
    TX packets:3417 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
    collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
    RX bytes:413985 (404.2 KiB) TX bytes:1041817 (1017.3 KiB)
    Interrupt:16 Base address:0x4000

    eth0:0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:30:05:BB:A4:38
    inet addr:12.34.56.78 Bcast:12.34.56.78 Mask:255.255.255.255
    UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
    Interrupt:16 Base address:0x4000
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------

    I found the default route with the "route -n" command:

    -------------------------- route -n -----------------------------------
    Kernel IP routing table
    Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
    1.2.3.4 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0
    0.0.0.0 1.2.3.4 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
    0.0.0.0 1.2.3.4 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Recapitulation:
    FIRST dynamic IP@ => 12.34.56.77
    NEW (static) IP@ => 12.34.56.78
    gateway IP@ => 1.2.3.4

    My questions are:
    1) need i to put 12.34.56.77 OR 12.34.56.78 as the Bcast for the second IP@ (static eth0:0) ?
    2) what is the value of "network" to put in "/etc/network/interfaces" ?

    Thanks a lot for your help !

    Thank's for your reply.

    I found the solution now:
    network 0.0.0.0
    netmask 255.255.255.255
    broadcast 12.34.56.78

    and it works fine (to be check really i need to wait until DNS records are uptodate), but sounds good now.

    Thanks.

    No all is working but i have another problem with mutilple IP addresses.

    My problem is that i want the apache 1.3 server is listening on only one IP@ not on all IP addresses in httpd.conf.
    I add the "BindAddresse 12.34.56.78" in httpd.conf and restart ispconfig but it listen always on * instead of only one IP@, what is wrong here ?

    Thank's.

    Try
    Code:
    Listen 12.34.56.78:80
    instead in httpd.conf.

    Hello

    if i try "Listen 12.34.56.77:81" (i want that only this IP@is listen on port 81, not the second) i have no more LISTEN at all with "netstat -tap"

    Before adding "Listen 12.34.56.77:81" netstat -tap gives *:81
    Now after adding this parameter i have nothing listen on port 81

    So for the moment i give up and configure the cisco firewall to block all incoming request except for port TCP/80 on this second IP@ ... (and maybe 443 later for https)

    The main problem is that when you have more then one IP@ some services are listening on this second IP@, for example web page for administration on port 81, named ...

    I have NOT checked the DNS and MX options for the second domain attached to the second IP@, so why named is listening on the second IP@ ?
    Anyway it is not so important because i have a firewall, but it may be interresting to be able to choose which services are listening on wich IP@ if we have more then one IP@ on a server ... (it is a dream ?)

    Sorry for the misunderstanding.

    I will try to be as clear as possible (my english is so bad).
    I have two IP@, but i want that the ispconfig server is only listening on port 81 on the first IP@ not on the second IP@.

    I have a PTR record for the second IP@ so if a web surfer try to connect to the second IP@ on port 81 nothing must be happend, but for now there is a page with a hint who asked the surfer to use https instead of http to access port 81 on this server ...

    Two IP@ but only one used by ispconfig, the other one must only be used by apache2 (not apache1.37 for ispconfig on port 81).

    So the ideal is:
    fisrt IP@ => ispconfig on port 81 (https with self signed certificat), normal apache2 on port 80
    second IP@ => apache2 on port 80, (no apache 1.3 available at any port what ever) + apache2 ssl on port 443 (with real CA certificat for commercial use...)

    what i have (netstat -tap) => *:81
    what i want (netstat -tap) => first IP@:81 (not * that means ALL interfaces)

    PS: For now i try to reinstall the complete system. The easy solution is to block port 81 on the second IP@ (easy with cisco firewall from my ISP webpage)

    Thank's.

    But that's what I told you: use
    Code:
    Listen 1.2.3.4:81
    in /root/ispconfig/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and restart ISPConfig:
    Code:
    /etc/init.d/ispconfig_server restart
