I am new to DNS and web hosting in general. I was able to get ISPConfig setup but when I try to load it is looking for my Domain Name which i still need to Set up. Throughout the installation I used a domain name that I own but I am confused what to do now. I am using Debian Sarge. During the setup of the operating system I did not add any name servers because I thought ISPConfig would allow me to set it up. If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it. Again I am fairly new to everything, so I am sorry for my ignorance.

First, check if you have valid nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf.

For ISPConfig to work, you can either wait util your domain points to your ISPConfig server, or you change the ISPConfig URL in /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/lib/config.inc.php.

My /etc/resolve.conf file says

search "ISP"
nameserver "gateway"
nameserver "external Name Server"
nameserver "external Name Server"

I saw that in your example of the perfect setup that it says

search server
nameserver "local IP"
nameserver "local IP"
nameserver "local IP"

is there a problem with the way my file is set up?

No, as long as the nameservers you chose where reachable from your server and they resolve domains correctly.

In the tutorial I don't use local IP addresses. I use

search server
nameserver 145.253.2.75
nameserver 193.174.32.18
nameserver 194.25.0.60
The IP addresses in there are public ones.

I have updated to 2.2.0 and I can no longer find my Server_Name in /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/lib/config.inc.php. I do see the if statement using the Server_Name but I cannot change it.

Why can't you change it?

there is no longer a variable where I can define my url. Before I updated to 2.2.0 I changed it the url variable multiple times. Now I can no longer find the variable.
