Couple of ISPconfig/Perfect Server general questions

[Heeter]

Hi ,

I am wondering how to setup a couple of things.

1: I am setting up my own website promoting webhosting, do I put the webfiles for my site OUTSIDE ispconfig, or do I upload it into ISPconfig?

2: If I mod the apache2 httpd.conf file outside ISPconfig for my own use, will it screwup the ISPconfig setup? I would need to mod the file to authenticate the phpmyadmin folder.

3: My present webserver is Windows2003, apache2, php5, mysql5.0, squirrelmail,

4: I should just be able to ftp upload the webfiles, upload a mysql dump into my perfect server setup outside ISPconfig, will it affect anything within ISPconfig?

I do have a few more questions, But at least I am finally at the point I can start to move away from the Windows setup. I just want to do it properly.


Thanks

1) You create a website in ISPConfig and then upload the files with FTP.
2) I guess it is not nescessary to modify httpd.conf file for phpmyadmin authentication. Take a look at the phpmyadmin configuration file for the different options of authentication.
4) If you do it properly then not. Take a look at the ispconfig first steps guide.

Thanks Till,

I do have a website promoting webhosting already in use, through a windows server, that I am moving into my ispconfig setup.

I guess I have to create myself as a client within ispconfig, even though I am admin?

I printed the ISPconfig manual to have by my side as I setup ispconfig. Cannot seem to find the "First Steps" guide.


Thanks

I went ahead and created a client and site for myself.

I uploaded the webfiles over to that.

Looks like it will be fine.

Thanks

Cannot seem to find the "First Steps" guide.

Go to ISPConfig.org, click on documentation and you find it in the first quarter of the page:

Great, Till,

I was thinking that it was part of the full manual.

Thanks
