[debian] apache2-default redirect

[Mountainman]

Hello everybody @ ISPConfig! :)

First I would like to complement you for creating ISPConfig and giving such great support! Keep it going there! :D

Now off to my problem, I first installed ISPConfig (2.2.1) following the Perfect Debian Setup written by Falko... Everything went well and worked fine!

After a couple of weeks running the server smoothly, and upgrading to 2.2.2, I suddenly decided to remove the /root/ispconfig directory :eek: which I shouldn't have done offcourse... The server continued to run like nothing happened, but the ISPConfig web interface wasn't reachable. I decided to run the installer again and reinstall ISPConfig 'over' the old install.

When I finished the install, all my sites weren't reachable anymore, logically while they weren't created in ISPConfig. Next I made a backup of my DB's and websites, uninstalled apache/bind/proftpd/spamassasin/mysql/quota/ISPConfig, and reinstalled everything according to the Perfect Debian Setup again. Now the ISPConfig is reachable through its normal adress, but every other site leads to the apache2-default page... Not what I want offcourse, and not what happened when I installed it the first time.

I have seen that several users had the same problem but none of the topics led to a solution on my system. Could you help me getting my system back up again?

Grtz and lots of thanks for your effort,

Mountainman

[falko]

Is your old database back in place? Can you see the sites, users. etc. in ISPConfig?

[Mountainman]

Thanks for your reply Falko!

No I can't see my old sites/clients/resellers...

Before i installed ISPConfig the last time i deleted/removed every mysql/apache/proftpd/postfix file i could remove...

grtz

[falko]

But you replaced your new ISPConfig database with your old one? Then you should see your sites etc. in ISPConfig.

[Mountainman]

No but that's not the problem atm. Currently I want a fresh ISPConfig install, which after I installed ISPConfig, doesn't redirect me to the apache2-default page, but let's me see (like the old ISPConfig install) the shared ip page generated by ISPConfig.

The problem is thus that every page redirects me to the apache2-default page and doesn't lead me to the page what i wanted to see.

grz,

[falko]

I'd replace your new ISPConfig database with your backup, then go into the ISPConfig interface. You should now see all your web sites there. Go into them and change a settings for them so that ISPConfig knows it has to rewrite the configurations. That should recreate your sites.

[Mountainman]

I hope we are talking about the same thing here Falko because I don't understand replacing my existing *clean* db with the old one will fix the problem i have on being redirected to the apache2-default page :confused:. I just want to have a clean ISPConfig install functioning like it did the first time I installed it...

Problem:
I am being redirected to the apache2-default page, visiting any site/non-existing site

For example:
I am the owner of domain.com, when i created sub.domain.com and I go visit this site in firefox, the apache2-default page pops up and not the standard index.html ISPConfig creates. When I visit a non-existing subdomain like dude.domain.com it also shows me the apache2-default page where I normally would see the shared-ip page ISPConfig has created.

I hope my problem is clear to you now...

best regards,

Mountainman

If your sites wont show up in the ISPConfig interface, you must replace your existing DB with your backup copy like falko suggested.

[Mountainman]

Dear Falko and till,

I completely reinstalled the system, formatted the hard-drive and did a fresh debian install following the 'Perfect Debian Setup' again. After the reinstall still every existing or non-existing url leads to the apache2-default page which you can see at: http://www.opje.nl, or for example a non-existing url like http://ispconfig.opje.nl. Offcourse this isn't normal and the according urls should lead you to the shared-ip page created by ISPConfig. How can I solve this problem?

grz,

Mountainman

[falko]

You must create at least one web site in ISPConfig before the shared IP page is created.

[Mountainman]

Thanks again for your reply Falko!

I created a site now but it still won't work, but! I have been looking in the ispconfig management pages and found out that bind wasn't running. It also wouldn't start after a restart command.

In /var/log/syslog it says:

[falko]

What's in /etc/bind/named.conf?
What's in your Vhosts_ispconfig.conf now?

[Mountainman]

Ok, the problem is that you specified 127.0.0.1 as IP address during ISPConfig installation instead of your other one...

[Mountainman]

Okay,

then how can I fix this? And should I change this to my ip-adress given in my local network ( 192.168.x.x ) or my external ip-adress?

[falko]

Use your 192.168.x.x address. Replace 127.0.0.1 in /root/ispconfig/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/lib/config.inc.php and also in the ISPConfig database. Then restart ISPConfig:
/etc/init.d/ispconfig_server restart
Afterwards you must change something in the ISP Manager and the DNS Manager so that ISPConfig knows it has to rewrite the configuration.

Hi, sorry for my english, I have installed ubuntu breezy and ispconfig with perfect install ubuntu breezy, but when I try to navigate on some domain that I was created, all domains are redirected to apache2 web root directory, and not to the ispconfig webroot directory, I use the lan ip address 192.168.1.x for virtualhost and ispconfig installation and I have cable modem with dinamic ip address and use zoneedit with a script in cron to update my ipaddress.
Help and Thankz

hi, I find an error with apache 2.0* when NamedVirtualHost 192.168.1.x:80
the vhosts_ispconfig.conf redirected to apache2 DocumentRoot
but, if NamedVirtualHost *:80 and <VirtualHost *:80> redirect to my web document root, I think that the problem is in the ip address that I configure
in the installation and ispconfig configuration in control panel
for now its go perfectly :D:D:D and sorry for my english..
my solution was change Vhosts_ispconfig.conf
NamedVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
........
.........
</VirtualHost>

thanks from argentina

Hi, I found the solution for my problem, when somebody used dinamic ip address, the installation of ispconfig with lan ip address like perfect setup, is ok, but, in the ispconfig ControlPanel I change the lan ip addres for * and I deleted the extern ip address, and in the apache2.conf I found a line that says include /etc/apache2/sites-enabled and comment with #, now, the ispconfig go OK for me, if I make a mistake please tell me, but is the way that I found...

Thanks from argentina
