ISPConfig and DynDns

[Musty]

Greetings everyone.
I have just installed ISPConfig on a fedora 8 Linux. I used webmin without problems before, but I read that ISPConfig is much more user-friendly and a bit more comprehensive than Webmin. The problem is that I have a registered domain name with DynDns and a few free domains for testing purposes. My ISP uses dynamic IP, but this is not a problem since I have configured my router for dyndns and opened all the necessary ports in the router NAT. I have also installed Inadyn daemon to update the IP with DynDns.

My question is : how do I go about using ISPConfig with dynamic IP? So far, I can only access the ISPConfig panel but that's it.

In other words, my registered domain name is, say, *.something.org and other free domains are domain1.dyndns.org, domain2.ath.cx ...etc..., how do I configure them in ISPConfig so they go live?

Thank you very much for your help·

:confused:

i have used the free domain names from dyndns with ISPconfig before
its just

mydns.homeip.net _________ ( TOP level domain )
webmail.mydns.homeip.net __________ ( SUB level )

Thank you for your reply.
I have had headaches with it so I went back to webmin. But again, I have another problem. Apache displays html files but no php. I have checked php module and it's there. I just don't get it.

I have never had this problem before. Did I do anything wrong?

Thanks again for your time

check the setings on the domain you setup
i think there is an oration for php or
see if they is enabled

by default step by step
the php on the default level of apache is disabled
@ /var/www/htdocs or /var/www/html

ow do I know that it is / is not disabled? Here is the loadmodule list from my configuration file. As you can see I added the last line for apache to load module php, restarted apache. Still nothing!

log in to the ispconfig
admin panel
and check the domain your working on


goto the
/home/web.number/htdocs
and
try this

vi info.php

<?php
phpinfo()

if its load than PHP is working

BTW : did u get the free DNS name problem fix ?

Thanks again. The phpinfo thing confirmed that php is working fine. Then why I can't view php files?
For DNS problem, as I told you earlier I went into a fresh install of fedora 8 and installed Webmin instead of Ispconfig. I used the former for quite some time and I am familiar with it.

I will be trying out a few things and will get back with the outcome.

Thanks again for your help.

if you made the php files yourself
check to see if you used
<?php
not
<?

i was having the same problem for ages
where php files i was typing myself
didn't work
to i worked out what i was doing wrong

if it something you downloaded
than try running the
chown -R zcworld:www /var/www/vhosts

replace zcworld : with the account you use for normal access
and the /var/www/vhosts
with the path they are at :)

good luck with it
<personal for me : i dont use any webmain / ispconfig on my www box :) i know what im doing via command line


but its an nice tool
webmain is a tab evil / hard i found
but i will learn it

He heee. I am pretty sure if I made the php files myself they will NEVER work! :D

I use webmin to change the vhost folder permissions and user / group are changed to apache. This has always worked for me in the past. I will check DynDns and see if the Dynamic IP has been updated. That causes problems too.

I am not a real guru in Linux, but I can take care of a few things. Also, all the help you can find on the web is interesting for linux dummies like myself! :D But sure you should try out webmin. It's a great tool!

I know Linux is great. A pity I spent a long time on Microsoft garbage. But better late than never.

But hey zcworld. Check out this :

</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/phpmyadmin
ServerName alcboard.ath.cx
<Directory "/var/www/html/phpmyadmin">
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

alcboard.ath.cx is a free dyndns domain. I checked dyndns and my public IP has been updated. Permissions on the phpmyadmin are OK and user/group = apache. Don't know why it wouldn't work! :mad:

i would of done ( if you got wildcard use turn on)
sql.dns.name.here

ok
can you add an info.php
with the
<?php
phpinfo()
?>


its odd
i get an empty page


this is my conf file for my sql admin host

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName sql.admin.lan
DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/admin/sql
<Location />
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from shane.lan laptop.lan 192.168.1.102
AllowOverride None
</Location>
CustomLog /var/www/vhosts/admin/logs/sql_access.log combined
ErrorLog /var/www/vhosts/admin/logs/sql_error.log
</VirtualHost>

Hey Buddy. I sorted it out. Took the whole afternoon yesterday and part of the night and a few glasses of scotch.

I removed fedora 8 and went back to my favorite fedora 7. Had to reinstall twice as F7 didn't detect my network card and I couldn't use yum for that reason. So I downloaded the drivers onto another computer and during install, it said there are no compilers installed. So I reinstalled F7 again with all the developer packages and this time it installed the driver.
Now it works like a charm, both my registered domains and with the free ones.

Pheeeewwwww !

But thanks buddy for your support.
