My brand new ISPConfig Server!

Hi all!

I just have a few questions about ISPConfig setup

1. How do i access the files where the "Shared Ip" pages is when i Go sraight to my site. I want to put my hosting website there running on port 80 can the be managed in ispconfig somehow?

here is my domain: http://www.khost.co.nz

2.
How do i set up dns records so i have:

pop.khost.co.nz (E-mail Inboxes)
smtp.khost.co.nz (E-Mail sending service)

3.
How do i do about getting all my users to have their own website where they have a dns record so they have the domain (name).khost.co.nz

Finally getting my domain to properly go to my static IP address (Name servers...HUH?)

Thanks
Tim.

 

also having trouble with ports

 

Thanks a ton! Just an nother noob question how am i supposed to get my domain to point to my static ip or do i have to do something with name servers?

 

You must create a DNS record for the domain. To find out which name server is responsible for your domain, run

Code:

dig ns yourdomain.com

 

to create e record for the domain do i go onto my "Manage my domain" place where i set the dns settings? Or is this ISPConfig?

 

yes! i am using my domain provider's name servers pointing to my ip on an A record but none of my subdomains work would this be because i need to have DNS port 53 forwarded and bind9 online?

 

In this case you must create DNS records for the subdomains on your registrar's name servers as well.

 

well how do i create my own name servers that all i have to do is creat dns records ONLY on MY servers?

 

Some dns provider due allow you to "glue" your dns servers to their. But you will have to check with your dns provider.

 

ok how would i ask them that and how will the information be sent?

 

depends on the dns provider. I know that dyndns has it built in to their web interface. Contact support at your dns provider.
