vhost_ispconfig not beeing updated

Hi there!

just updatet to the latest ISP-config, and now my vhost_ispconfig-file won't reflect any changes made to sites in ispconfig. here is the output from the ispconfig logfile:

Code:

admin@ubuntu-p3:~$ httpd -t
Syntax OK

Why?

please help

 

thanks that told me why is failed

 

Different situation, same problem

I had to recover my ISP Config server after it recently lost some data due to the hdd heating up. At the same time I also upgraded from ISPC version 2.2.6 to 2.2.19. I managed to get the ISP Config running fine on the new installation, but now it cannot write to the Vhosts_ispconfig.conf

I also do not have a copy of the dated *.conf file anywhere, only the actual Vhosts_ispconfig.conf, and ISP Config cannot write to this file, as I have to manually add new websites and delete them from this file. The output of httpd -t as follows:

PHP:

httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using mail.actiononline.co.za for ServerName
[Thu Mar 20 06:54:11 2008] [warn] NameVirtualHost 196.37.170.xxx:80 has no VirtualHosts
[Thu Mar 20 06:54:11 2008] [warn] NameVirtualHost 196.37.170.xxx:80 has no VirtualHosts
Syntax OK

Although it says it has no VirtualHosts, all the websites are accessible on the server. Adding, editing or deleting either mailbox users or domains from the ISPConfig control panel has no effect on the actual files.

 

I renamed my Vhost_ispconfig.conf file to Vhost_ispconfig.conf_01-03-08_10-17-57 and saved in in etc/apache2/vhosts/ and restarted everything. I then added a new website in the control panel, and although it shows up there, it was not added to the Vhost_ispconfig.conf file.

On an existing website I had a login problem with one of the mail accounts on the domain. I tried resetting the password, and that didn't work, so I deleted the user and wanted to re-create the box. This then gave me an error from the ISPC control panel saying the account already exists. I checked the passwd file, and there is no such user. I then also checked the virtualusertable in postfix to see if the user is there, but nothing.

So where else can the user information be that prevents ISPConfig from deleting the info and recreating? And then how can the permission problem be sorted out that will allow ISPConfig to write to all the necessary files?

 

Did you rename the Vhost_ispconfig.conf file with the date appended to Vhost_ispconfig.conf and run

Code:

httpd -t

?

 

yes, I renamed the file and ran httpd -t and it gave me the same output as before

 

What's the output of

Code:

ls -la /etc/apache2/vhosts

and

Code:

ls -la /root/ispconfig

? Any errors/warnings in /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/ispconfig.log?

 

PHP:

And here is what I could see in the ISPConfig log when the user mailbox was deleted and recreated.

PHP:

Then I also saw this that seemed suspect:

And when I then look in the Vhosts_ispconfig.conf file, the entry for the domain is still there, and when restarting apache, it won't restart because the directories for the domain has been deleted, but the Vhosts_ispconfig.conf still calls the domain. When I manually delete the domain from the file and then start apache, it starts fine without issues.

 

Please delete that domain from the recycle bin also.

 

Ok I found a few interesting things. I am working with Suse10.3, and the httpd.conf file had an entry
Include /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/*.conf and then right at the bottom of the file it had almost the same thing again but looking like this:
Include /etc/apache2/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf

I removed the first Include calling for the file in /vhosts.d, and the proceeded to delete a few of the dormant domains. Even after emptying the recycle bin in ISPConfig, I had absolutely no error anywhere. But when I manually restarted the apache server in SSH, this is what I got, preventing apache from starting.

PHP:

To fix this I had to delete the entries for these domains again from the VHosts_ispconfig.conf file and restart, this time without errors.

So it would seem that ISPConfig does not have permission to write to the vhost file when you add and delete domains.

 

What's the output of

Code:

ls -la /etc/apache2/vhosts

?
