Trying to Implement a magento Post with ISPconfig

Hi, I'm trying to implement this great post by Oliver Meyer : http://www.howtoforge.org/magento-e-commerce-solution-debian-etch by using Ispconfig.

I'm running in two problems here :

1) Should i copy/paste the whole virtual host stuff for http and https into ISPConfig Apache Directives Optional or are there some modifications to make to it. if so what should i change into it.here is the example for http:

NameVirtualHost 192.168.0.100:80

<VirtualHost 192.168.0.100:80>
ServerName www.example.com
ServerAdmin [email protected]
DocumentRoot /var/www/magento/

<Directory /var/www/magento/>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>

ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/magento_error.log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/magento_access.log combined
LogLevel warn

</VirtualHost>

2) I want to use suPHP, in order to avoid this: chown -R root:www-data magento/

but according to this great Falko Howto: http://www.howtoforge.org/suphp_debian_etch_ispconfig, i should remove all the phpadmin entries within the original Vhosts_ispconfig.conf file , but in my Vhosts_ispconfig.conf they all start with php_admin, so what part exactly of the string should i remove.

Also i'm a bit confused because in this post by Falko: http://howtoforge.net/install-suphp...tions-for-use-with-ispconfig-2.2.20-and-above, there is no mention of removing phpadmin.

3) Mi third question is that should i put php safe mode on or off, can you please tell me the diffirence.

Thank you for all.

 

Thanks Till for the reply,

for 1) Thanks i put if off
for 2)

Do you mean that by doing what you suggested in 2), i do not need the howto at all, or should i do this with the howto as well, if so where exactly please in the howto should i put 2)

now a new question, according to one of your posted howto, we should take away for security reason some .htaccess lines and put them in the ispconfig apache directives. I cannot find the howto link here but, i'm trying to install magento on a /var/www/web1/web, that magento directory contains a .htaccess., when i run the http://www.mywebsite.com/magento, i have an internal server error 500.

i went to the error.log of the website and first it says :
var/www/web1/web/magento/.htaccess: php_value not allowed here
so i took out the php_value line from the .htaccess and put it in the ispconfig apache directives.

then i run http://www.mywebsite.com/magento again, the first error did come back in the error.log but i have a new internal server 500 error in the error.log that says :
var/www/web1/web/magento/.htaccess: php_flag not allowed here

so again i took out the php_flag line from the .htaccess and put it in the ispconfig apache directives.

then i run http://www.mywebsite.com/magento again, the second error did come back in the error.log but i have a new internal server 500 error in the error.log that says :
var/www/web1/web/magento/.htaccess: SSLOptions not allowed here

so now i wonder if i'm doing the right thing here, should i put all the <IfModule></IfModule> in ispconfig apache directives ?

when i just run http://www.mywebsite.com without going to the magento folder everything works fine.

Thank you.

 

ok here is the .htaccess inside the magento directory>

Thank you for your replies

 

Thank you!

now i have an internal error 500 with this var/www/web1/web/magento/.htaccess: SSLOptions not allowed here

i think because of this line in the .htaccess:

############################################
## make HTTPS env vars available for CGI mode

SSLOptions StdEnvVars

should i remove it also, safely!
would you please also check my question about suPHP!

Thanks

 

Yes, please remove the SSLOptions line.

 

Thanks Falko!

After removing the SSLOptions line i got a 500 internal server error saying: Options not allowed here so i also removed the Options +FollowSymLinks line to get it working, i hope it does not hurt doing so

Now about your howto on suPHP located here: http://howtoforge.net/install-suphp...tions-for-use-with-ispconfig-2.2.20-and-above

Till says :
From the howto:

Edit /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/lib/config.inc.php find the line:

$go_info["server"]["apache2_php"] = 'both';

and change to:

$go_info["server"]["apache2_php"] = 'suphp';

my question is that, should i have to do this after the whole howto, or at some point in the howto.

Thank you very much.

 

At the end of the tutorial (see chapter 5 on http://howtoforge.net/install-suphp...tions-for-use-with-ispconfig-2.2.20-and-above ).

 

Thank you Falko for you time to answer me, i'm really sorry about the question, i should have read the howto to the end.

llamy.
