Muddled hostnames for ISPConfig

[hollymcr]

I'm new to ISPConfig having just installed it on a "perfect" Debian install. I've checked the forums but this is probably a FAQ so pointers greatfully received if it is.

Background:

My setup is on a new PC on my LAN as a testbed for trialing ISPConfig. Its hostname is "emu" (don't ask!), FQDN is emu.my-lan-domain.co.uk. The latter (and *.emu.my-lan-domain.co.uk) is configured in my LAN's DNS to point to the new box, and I have my-lan-domain.co.uk as a DNS suffix on my PC so that I can reach the box as just "emu".

Problem:

With all that, I finally have a working system on www.emu.my-lan-domain.co.uk:81, but if I go to www.emu:81 I have to log in separately, then many of the links redirect me to www.emu.my-lan-domain.co.uk:81 where I have to log in again.

How should I set this up to be simpler to access?

Also: Is there a reason why the links are not relative ones? (This would solve my immediate problem, but I'm guessing would break something else?)

[PS: On first looks ISPConfig looks fantastic and I'm looking forward to seeing what she's capable of!]

(NB: most names changed to protect the innocent, and in any case the server is not publically accessible.)

[till]

The controlpanel is build to be accessed by just one URL, the one you entered in the ISPConfig installer.

You can change the URL to the controlpanel in the file /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/lib/config.inc.php

The Links in the controlpanel can not be relative because the files where accessed and used in different locations. They will fail when you change them to relative paths.
