External DNS server

[NeoSyRenity]

Hi.

I'm trying to make external DNS server A records to work with site running on ISPConfig 3.

This configuration should be possible, right?

But for some reason, I'm getting the server default welcome page, and not the site.

Any idea how to resolve this?

Thanks in advance!

Hi.

Ok, I partially sorted it out - just needed to define the domain correctly (domain.tld and not www.domain.tld - maybe some check in this page will help future users?).

The problem is that when I type domain.tld, I reach the site correctly, but when I type www.domain.tld, I reach the server default document directory.

The server is called exactly same name (www.domain.tld), could it be the reason?
If yes, anyway to fix it, or I have to change the server name?

Thanks in advance!

You have to use domain.tld in the website settings and if www.domain.tld shall point to the same website then select auto subdomain www in the website settings.

Hi.

This is exactly what I have, but on www.domain.tld I'm receiving the server (Debian) "It works!" page, and not the site virtual host.

Again, my server is named exactly in same way - www.domain.tld. Could it be related?

Thanks again!

Hi.

Any idea about the issue?

I really need to sort this out soon, otherwise will need to re-install the server with another name - which I really don't want.

Thanks in advance!

Please post the content of the apache vhost file of this websites. the file is in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled or a similar directory depending on the linux distribution.

Do you use www.1trabajo1.com somewhere else in your Apache configuration? What are the outputs of hostname and hostname -f?

[NeoSyRenity]

Hi.

That's the point - the server itself is also called www.1trabajo1.com, so it maybe what is causing the issue?

The results of commands:

www:~# hostname
www.1trabajo1.com
www:~# hostname -f
www.1trabajo1.com

Thanks again.

Yes, thats is the first problem. read how to set an hostname in "perfect server config".
Hostname is not used for domain resolving so if you add. xpto.anyname.com as hostname ispconfig will work.

Hi.

Thanks for the advice!

I changed the server name and updated the hosts file, and all works now.

Should I change anything in ISPConfig as well, or it will pick the name change by itself?

Regards.

Hi.

So the only thing I need to update is the field in ISPConfig DB?

Anything else that should be done?

Thanks again.

/etc/hosts and database record and maybe will work.
Backup and try.

Hi.

Any idea where are the settings for DB are stored, for ISPConfig 3?

Regards.

Do not update anything in the mysql db directly, the settings will not be used then. Just change the settings in the ispconfig interface!

Hi.

Thanks - I should have think of this myself! :)

There are 2 settings, Edit server and Server config (which may be needed to be unified?).

I presume I should update them both?

Regards.
