hi, when i try accesing mydomain.com it gets me to my router web interface. i've created A record, MX record, CNAME record for mydomain.com in my domain registrar's cpanel pointing mydomain.com to my static IP which is assigned to my router. i installed ispconfig using IP instead of mydomain.com cos' my changes weren't updated. now i can ping www.mydomain.com and i get reply from my router. I use my ISP DNS servers. what i am trying to accomplish is www.mydomain.com should get me to my website instead of ispconfig interface how could this be done?
Did you change the ISPConfig server settings already within ISPConfig under Management > Server > Settings > Server ? Change the domainname within your INTERNAL IP-address (not your external IP-address). Change the Hostname within: www Afterwards, save your settings.
the config is ispconfig -- management -- server -- settings -- Hostname: www Domain: mydomain.com IP Address: 192.168.0.3 saved and restarted but still accessing www.mydomain.com shows my router's web interface
Oeps, i made a mistake: If for example the output of hostname -f is: server1.example.com you need to set the hostname within ISPConfig to server1 in stead of www.
made the changes. but still http://server1.mydomain.com.com fetches router's web interface. i've not made any changes in host file in windows cos' www.mydomain.com should work no matter where i access from.
If you try to access your site within your LAN, maybe you need to configure your Windows workstation so that it also uses your own DNS-server on your ISPConfig server.
