My eye's are crossed from reading posts trying to find the answers to this so: Last night I installed ISPConfig following the guide http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu8.04-lts "BTW NICE HOWTO". vhosts seem to be working fine, but the primary domain that I used during the installation reports the Shared IP page, with or without the "www". So now to the question(s): 1. Was I wrong to use Code: www.mydomain.com (my primary domain) during the setup? 2. Should I have used Code: www.somefakename.com instead? When I usually configure an Apache Server I setup all of my domains as vhosts and leave the default Apache folders alone. 3. If this is the correct behavior where exactly should I be uploading my primary domain files to, and where do I change the options for it? I can't add it as a vhost because ISPConfig gives me an error that www.mydomain.com already exists :-( I did try changing the server name from Server1.mydomain.com to myservername.mydomain.com and changing the www for this domain to myservername but i still get the error that www.~ already exists. Thanx in advance for any assistance
hmm. apparently I'm slightly off today. After I emptied the trash I was able to add www.mydomain.com as a vhost. Who'd a thunk it Just curious though, will changing the www to u804jeos-vm1 under Management -> Server -> Settings -> Server -> Server Name & Host Name & Management -> Server -> Settings -> DNS -> Default Ns1: & Default Ns2: Break things or is that OK? It appears to work fine. But I'm not using the email at the moment either.
Thx till. I decided to reinstall anyway "It was acting flaky" and changed the settings during the install. Working as I expect now.
