Hello, I have a site down (dedicated server) for four days now because of a Hack and decided to fresh install Fedora 5 and ISPConfig as my control panel. After two days of fighting the ISPConfig installation (mainly because of MySQL root login problems) I am excited that I finally have an ISPConfig Control Panel, Yahoo !! But, after configuring my three personal websites I have yet another problem. I also use Webmin and noticed in the Apache module there is no mention of the newly created sites, there are also no folders created for the new sites anywhere. After taking a look at the Apache configuration file I noticed it references to "include" the " Vhosts_ispconfig.conf " file at the bottom. But when I take a look at the file I see it is totally "Blank", nada. Any ideas?? Also, when I configure and/or update the " DNS Records " for the sites and " ISP Server Configuration " on the control panel I always get the errors below. I set both of the files mentioned to "777" and still get this error. Don't know if this is related to the above issue but I wanted to mention it. Can anyone please HELP ??? Any help would be appreciated I need to get my sites back up. Thank you, Richard Error when configuring "Records" .........................................................

You havent mentioned which version of apache are you running along with ISPConfig is it apache2.x.x or apache1.3.x I had a similar issue where I installed apache2 as instructed on http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_ubuntu_6.06 Then after intsalling ISPConfig I was getting the default holding page for apache1.3.34 so had to modify the web config under the management panel to instead use /etc/apache2/apache2.conf this got the sites up fine but then to further test the solution was stable I restarted the server and config has reverted back to the original config for ISPConfig install. Also on reboot apache2 doesnt startup at all, if you want a temperorary fix you can use the process I used but upon reboot if required for the server you might run into problem. If I find a solution I will post it here for you.
Blank Configuration file Thank you for responding. I'll look inot the temporarry solution you mentioned. I noticed that after 18 views I only received one response. Wonder if we're one of the rare ones. I will keep looking into it and report any progress as well. Thanks, Richard Oh, by the way, I'm using Fedora Core 5 and it comes with Apache v.2
There is a apache module missing in your configuration. To find the missing module, please have a look at this post: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showpost.php?p=45966&postcount=2
Got It!! Thank you very much for responding. Well after three days at this, I actually gave up and deleted all respective files and databases. I re-installed and it actually fixed everything. I did notice the user and group names of the ISPConfig files were different this time around ("admipconfig" previously "root"). Important: It is absolutely imperative that you have tested your "root" access and privleges to MySQL prior to starting the installation. If not, you'll pull your hair out like I did (eight hours of sleep in last three days). Would be nice if in the future the user can enter ALL the information needed so he/she can walk away from the installation and come back when it's done (about 20 minutes). Everything went smooth after that but I now have another problem, I can't see any of my new Websites!! It's another issue (#9) of which I will now investigate but I'm sure I'll figure out (hopefully). Would like to mention --- From what I have seen with the Control Panel, it looks like an excellent product. I commend the authors for doing a great job with the interface and making it user-friendly. I'm sure I'll be a long time supporter. Just would like to recommend on making the installation process less frustrating (finicky). Other than that, Great Job !! Best Rgds, Richard
We did it the other way round for a good reason. In most cases, the compilation of the packages fails for missing dependencies and the users complain about having entered all the information which gets lost when they had to start the setup again. You dont see the websites where? In the file system or in the webbrowser? Havye you tried using one of the perfect setup guides for setting up your server for ISPConfig?
That was quick Thanks for the Quick Response Till. I can't see the sites on my Web Browser. Right now its 3:15 am and I'm going on my third broken night. Would be nice to see the sites up b4 I go to bed though. Some info below, OS: Fresh Fedora Core v.5, Apache v.2, Webmin etc.. This is the way I had it with the last server and it worked fine. Have two sites both of which respond to one the main nameservers/domain Name Servers (two IP addresses on one box): ns1.mymaindomain.us >> 69.xx.yyy.zza ns2.mymaindomain.us >> 69.xx.yyy.zzb A Record IP-Adresse Hostname 69.xx.yyy.zza www 69.xx.yyy.zza ns1.mymaindomain.us 69.xx.yyy.zza ns2.mymaindomain.us 69.xx.yyy.zza mymaindomain.us CNAME Hostname Target www.mymaindomain.us mymaindomain.us MX Mailserver Hostname www.mymaindomain.us www Site#1 (Site#2 is identical) ...........................

Signed, Sleepy PS: I re-started Apache, no help
Can you post your real domain name here? What's the output of Code: ifconfig and what's in Vhosts_ispconfig.conf? Any errors in Apache's error log?
Three Questions I just started another thread named "Three Questions". I figured the answers may help. Also have another thread regarding link between BIND DNS and ISPConfig.. Rgds, Richard
Solution Manually create a "/etc/bind" directory. Fresh Fedora 5 does not create one so if you don't know you will crazy trying to figure this out. ISConfig uses this directory by Default with installation for DNS Zone configuration files. Would be nice if Newbies had more documentation on pre-installation.. Hope this helps the next guy, Richard
This documentation exists and is linked on the ISPConfig documentation page I guess you did not follow the perfect setup guide for fedora. Please have a look at the iSPConfig documenation page, use one of the perfect setup guides and you will have a fully working and configured system.
