    Yes, my server is hosted behind a router, and 209.40.195.6 is the external IP address.

    When I use the IP address (http://209.40.195.6/), I get the doc root of all sites, but when I go to http://www.sdellis.com, I get the "Shared IP" message. Also, my Vhost_ispconfig.conf IS included in the apache config file.

    You must use the internal IP for the websites and not the external IP when your server is behind a router.

    Till,
    I really appreciate your help, but I'm afraid I don't understand. I got three IP addresses with my Virtual Private Server plan with the understanding that I would need a unique IP for each site that needs its own SSL cert. Why would I only use one of these IPs with ISPConfig? Maybe I'm wrongly assuming these are external IPs? Here's the full output of ifconfig:

    Code:

    Ok, I figured this out.

    I had to go into my /etc/apache2/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf file and comment out the NameVirtualHost information for the IP addresses that I want to use SSL with. I guess ISPConfig assumes you want to used Name-based virtual hosts.

    Code:
    NameVirtualHost 209.40.194.6:80
    <VirtualHost 209.40.194.6:80>
      ServerName localhost
      ServerAdmin root@localhost
      DocumentRoot /var/www/sharedip
    </VirtualHost>
    #NameVirtualHost 209.40.195.6:80
    #<VirtualHost 209.40.195.6:80>
    #  ServerName localhost
    #  ServerAdmin root@localhost
    #  DocumentRoot /var/www/sharedip
    #</VirtualHost>
    I'm using name based vhosts on 209.40.194.6, but not on 209.40.195.6.

    Hello guys,

    I am new to ispconfig and I have this annoying problem, which seems to be quite similar to the one discussed here. The difference is my web server uses a private ip address, as it is behind a firewall/router. So, even if the DocumentRoot of my www.domainname was set by ispconfig to /var/www/web6/web... httpd still uses /var/www/html as docroot when responding to requests for www.domainname

    Does anyone have a clue what is the proper way to configure when having the web server in a private net?

    /etc/hosts:
    Code:
    127.0.0.1               localhost.localdomain localhost
    192.168.1.10            servername.domainname servername
    
    Vhosts_ispconfig.conf:
    Code:

    You use the wrong IP address for the websites. You must use the internal and not the external IP address for the websites, when the server is behind a router.
