hello I just need an advice on which control panel to install on my new server, i did install ISPConfig on my first one and one thing i didn't like that the installation changed alot of the original files and that made me lost, i am not expert in linux that is why it made me lost, also i have hard time with proftp on ispconfig it keeps saying in the status proftp is down for no reason then i heard that vhcs2 doesn't do that. I need some advice here, it will be appreciated. Thanks very much
Thanks for fast reply hello madmucho Yes i did follow how to on this server and the version was 2.7.1 now i just download the new 2.2.21. Thanks again
Thanks again for fast reply hello again madmucho my linux distro on the old server was debian etcch 4, and i am using it on the new one also. I like the ISPConfig it is very nice gui too, just little tricky in some places and i can tell you, when i have it installed i never figured out where is the FileManager, i coudn't find it so i checked the documentaion it doesn't explain details very much , i don't mean to insult the program but hopefully the new release will be alot easier to deal with. Thanks again for your help.
It is called WebFTP, you find it in the upper main menu It is there since the first version of ISPConfig.
Thanks for fast reply hello till Thanks for the help, also i like to have and idea about setting the websites directory, can i put them in /var/www/site because the ispconfig put them i think somewhere else, and what was confusing me that each time i create a site it will make folder : /web1/web/web/site/web i don't understand, so how can i just put the sites under /var/www/site folder? Thanks again for your help.
ISPConfig creates the sites under /var/www/site/web, or at least a symlink with this name taht you can use to access the site on the shell. This can not be changed and we will most likely do not implement this to be changable in ISPConfig 2 as the complete software depends on this site layout.
Thanks till again for your help and fast response hello Till again and sorry to bother you. Thanks for the information so i should put my site files under /var/www/mysite/web another thing, which ip address should i use, there is so many places on ispconfig asking for ip address, i have router private address 192.168.x.x and public address 97.x.x.x ? I will install the 2.2.21. so that is why i am asking those questions. and how to install 2.2.21 fresh not upgrade. Thanks very much for your help again
For the web sites you must use the IP address that you see in the output of Code: ifconfig For the DNS records you must use the public IP address. The installation is always the same, no matter if it's a fresh install or an upgrade.
Thanks mr/falko again for being a great help hello again thanks very much for being a great help. my last questions i thought to put it here instead of posting a new one. when i add a new site or even a new database ispconfig always create it under Web1 like : mysite.com it will be Web1/mysite.com also db Web_udb1 ? can i change the setting for that or rename Web1 to the name of the site ? isp doesn't give me a choice. question #2 : when i tried to make a backup FTP on G4L i select /dev/hda and the backup was the whole size of the drive 37GB ? the data is only 4.gb should i choose /dev/hda1 ? my new hda is 76GB ! so how to backup data only not the whole drive on G4L ? Thanks again and again.
You don't need to change that because ISPConfig also creates a symlink with the name of your web site that points to web1. Example: your web site is named www.example.com and is stored in /var/www/web1 Then there should as well be a symlink /var/www/www.example.com that points to /var/www/web1. Did you select a compression mechanism in Ghost4Linux?
Thanks again and one more question only hello mr/Falko again this will be my last question for now. so that means if i go //var/www to check one of the sites and what files in it how do i know if it is web1 or web 5 ? just keep checking one by one ? Thanks alot again
You dont have to know the ID's of the webs, there is a symlink with the name of the domain pointing to the correct directory as falko described above.
Thanks to both of you mr/Falko & mr/Till hello thanks to both of you for your great help, i installed ispconfig 2.2.21 and everything went smooth, now i am facing somthing else, when i go to the address fo ispconfig https://www.mysite.com:81 the browser Iceweasel gives me an error Security error : (Domain name Mismatch) that my certificate is not registered on this site (kandkmarket) but for (kmarket) that is the name i put into the certificate info, so how can i change that to the real site name , or cahnge the name on ssl 3 or what should i do? it will let me in if i said OK, but it keeps coming each time i go to ispconfig. hope i am not desturbing both of you with alot of questions. Thanks alot again
Hello mr/falko again need your help again hello Thanks alot for your great help and with your instructions for the ssl i corrected the problem, now i am facing small one: ispconfig does not come on when i write : http://www.mysite.com:81 or even https://www.mysite.com:81 I did like you told another post open the file config.inc.php and took the (S) make it (http) only but this did not make any differance , the only way it it works if i write https://192.168.x.x it doesn't work with the address. do i need to Reinstall it again ? i don't know how to correct this problems, i hope i am not disturbing you too much. and real thanks for your help again
Does www.mysite.com point to your router's public IP address, and does your router forward port 81 to the ISPConfig system?
