Where is my home directory?

I've just completed installation on my new ispconfig server running Ubuntu (breezy badger) with the tutorial on this site and have setup a reseller account, client account, and new website. I created the user web1_sam and can FTP in just fine. What I haven't figured out yet is how to access the home page of that user without changing the DNS over yet. I've tried www.mysite.com/~web1_sam and www.mysite.com/users/sam but on each I get "Object not found" like I just made up the address. I've also tried some other address locations, but I just can't figure out how to access the site. I've also tried just using the name without the "web1_". Any suggestions? Thanks!

 

So if you do not have assigned your servers IP to the Web's DNS Name, just enter this in your hostfile.
E.g. on Windows XP it is in \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\drivers\etc\hosts

Just enter the servers IP beside the DNS-Name.

 

The server does resolve just fine. I can use either the IP or the domain name and it does go to the server. I can go to mysite.com:81 and login without any issues. Can you think of what else may be wrong?

 

I guess you could add a subdomain to your DNS and route it to the new server.
In ISPConfig you then just add a Co-Domain with the subdomain value in the Host field.

Never tested this.

 

If you use www.mysite.com in your browser, then the main domain OR a CO-Domain must be www.mysite.com in ISPConfig. If you use mysite.com (without www) in your browser, then either the main domain OR a Co-Domain must be mysite.com (without www).

 

Thank you for the suggestions, however I'm still not able to see any user pages. I haven't tried to point other domains because I can't see their pages via the www.mysite.com/~web1_user to test out the look. I've looked into the directory structure and made sure the users were right. So far, I've tried www.mysite.com/~web1_user, mysite.com/~web1_user, 209.121.XXX.XX/~web1_user, 192.168.0.15/~web1_user, and all alternations of tring to locate the user directory (/users/web1, /users/web1_user, /users/web/web1_user).

Does anyone out there know if I need to make certain directories public or if I can check if that's getting done. Whatever address I put in, I get the "object can't be found" like I typed in the wrong address. Everything else (server, ftp, etc) is working perfect.

 

I tried www.mysite.com/users/web1_user and I get the same result (no object found). I did look at the directory structure and the users look correct and in the right place with the right spelling.

 

I just mapped a domain to make it easier to troubleshoot. I created a user web1_dctech. The domain of the server is www..com Hope this helps!

 

I set the IP at 192.168.0.15 and the router pointing all traffic ports (within the website range) to that IP. Should I have chosen my real IP? (209.XX.XX.XX)

 

What's the output of

Code:

ifconfig

and what's in your Vhosts_ispconfig.conf?

 

ifconfig output:

Is this the whole file? There should be more in it, unless you edited it manually.

 

Looks like I shouldn't have posted my address. I thought everything was secure, but it's offline and appears to have been hacked. I can no longer login and nothing has been done since I did an inquiry to read the file. I'll probably just redo the entire thing to make sure I get it right.

 

I just got it back up and working. Seems there was a switch problem. I was able to get the full config file if it helps.

You did not set up a web site for www.dclasersupply.com, only for www.dctechnologysolutions.com, that's why you get the shared IP page when you try to access www.dclasersupply.com.

Either set up a new web site for www.dclasersupply.com, or if you want www.dclasersupply.com to point to the same web site as www.dctechnologysolutions.com, create a Co-Domain www.dclasersupply.com for the www.dctechnologysolutions.com web site.
