Issues with FTP and accessing site

[Ganther]

Finally I am able to get Fedora and ISPconfig working and have created a site. My setup is basic 1 server and 1 Winxp box behind a linksys router.

But I am having couple of issues and was hoping to get some help I am a newbie with both Fedora and ISPconfig.

1. I can only access my site that I have created in ISPconfig using HTTPS and not HTTP. How can I fix this so that I can view the site using HTTP? right now I get a shared ip page with HTTP, HTTPS I get the fedora test page.

2. I can access the site via Web-FTP but I can not setup up dreamweaver to ftp to my site I am using xx.domain.ca and I have tried ftp.xx.domain.ca either way I get cannot connect to host. user name I use the web2_name.

any help would be great.. thanks

Please check if your apache is listening to port 80 (http) and 443 (https) as well.
Waht is the output of: netstat -tap

Within Dreamweaver, if you select "FTP" within the "Access" field do not mention "ftp://" again within the field "FTP host" again. So not "ftp://mydomain.tld" but only "mydomain.tld"
Specify "/web" within the "Host directory"

Within try to establish a connection within "Passive mode" and "Normal" mode.
To enable "Passive mode", you have to swith to the advanced mode within the wizard.

here is the netstat -tap was not sure how to check to see if apache is listening on port 80 or not.

As for the FTP I tried what you suggested domain.tld with the web2_username and /web as the host directory I tried it in passive mode as well, it is saying that the host can not be found.

[Ganther]

Got the HTTP part working added it to my host file on my xp box I tried the same with the ftp but no go.

If your server is behind a router did you forward port 21 from your public IP to the internal IP of your server?

Can you establish a FTP-connection when you use the IP-address instead of the domain name?

[Ganther]

I did not forward port 21, I figured I didn't need to since this server is not hosting live sites and both the server and the xp box are behind the router.

I will give that a shot today and see if it makes a difference.

I tried accessing the ftp with the internal IP address it still would not connect.

[Ganther]

Hans thanks for the help you pointed me in the direction I needed to look, if I use domain.tld or the eth0:0 ip address ftp does not work.

If I use the main ip address of the server with the web2_username I am able to access the ftp from my xp box I tried DOS, Dreamweaver and one other client and they all work.

I am thinking I need to add an entry to my hosts file on my xp box and on the server so when I use doamin.tld it point to my servers main ip address.

Thanks again for the help.

[Hans]

Yes you're right. I'm glad you did it. :)
