Hello, I am new to this great software and the forum ;-) I am running an already configured server with another ISP. Now I want to change to ispconfig - but first want my customers to try it out. My idea: I installed vmware-server on the webserver an than I download the great out-of-the-box ISPConfig image from vmware-website. It is now running but I can't reach the control panel or any website (which are different from the already existing ones !) out of the internet. The server has a public ip and I setup the vmware-image to use NAT. On both now run an apache2 and postfix .... The server is reachable but the vmware-image not ;-( I tried to work with apache proxypass and .htaccess and apache mod_rewrite - but did't come to a result. Does anyone in this forum tried out an equal solution? Or does someone knows "out-of-the-box" ( ;-) what to do, that the websites and mails on the vmware-ISPconfig reach there target? Thank you a lot Kai
Did you configure your server to forward requests to your virtual machine? Why didn't you use bridging?
Hi Falco, thank you for reply. I want to install on a hosted webserver - and there is only one public IP included The Forwarding is exact the problem I can't fit. I tried to find rules for iptables to portforward incomming on port 81 to port 81 of the vm-guest. I think I have not the accect way how to implement. The same is on using apaches mod_rewrite. May knowledge is to small to get it work .... Any hints? Kai
Hi Falca, thank you for replying again - and for the link. It is a mess, but it still does not work. I tried to forward port 81 to receive the IPSConfig control panel and to forward all request to port 80 (both to the virtual machine). There is a long request time in the webbrowser, but result is a connection error. I also tried the XEN 2.6 steps - but still no result. Also tried to disable all the rules on my host (iptables -F / iptables -t nat -F) and then inserting your rules - but still no result. The host-machine uses a physical network adapter eth0 with public IP, a NAT-adapter from vmware (vmnet8 - ip 192.168.30.1) and lo. The vm has eth0 with 192.168.30.129 and lo. Are there any rules in addition to your XEN tutorial to include in iptables? Thank you a lot Kai
I got it!! I found a first solution on my vmware-problems. I can now redirect tcp-request from a incomming port (e. g. 81) to the virtual machine. What I did not know is: vmware-server has a configuration file for NAT, where you can enable port-forwarding. Including 81:192.168.30.129:81 in /etc/vmware/vmnet8/nat/nat.conf does the job without any additional changes (e.g. on iptables). Regards Kai
Using bridge network more easier but you need one more real IP for vmware. ________ NEXIUM LAWSUIT ________ Breeana
ISPconfig on vmware virtual machine solved He freeborn, as I mentioned out above - I have only ONE public IP so I need NAT. After several hours of "trial and error" I found the solution. 1. I had to include 2 lines in vmware nat.conf 80=IP.of.the.vmwareguest:80 81=IP.of.the.vmwareguest:81 Nothing else as portforwarding using iptables! Than - and this seems to be a bug within vmware-server - I had to start the vmware-image using a vmware console tool (vmware-cmd /pathtoimage/image.vmx start) instead of using the remote "VMWare Server Console". And: now it works ;-) Thank you for all the hints! Kai
