problem creating anew site.

[resnostyle]

i have created a new site and when i enter the my address i get a page that says use the address and not the ip. i am not sure what i am doing wrong....

You must set the correct IP in the website settings, when you are behind a router, the correct IP is your internal IP.

what is this usually under? i see several places where ip address can go.

aslo i am not behind a router, when i run ifconfig i get to address one is inet addr and the other is bcast. should i use the bcast?

[falko]

What's the output of ifconfig? What's in your Vhosts_ispconfig.conf?

whats the directory for the vhosts folder?

[falko]

whats the directory for the vhosts folder?
It depends on your distribution. Normally it's /etc/apache2/vhosts or /etc/httpd/vhosts or something like that. You can search for it:
updatedb
locate Vhosts_ispconfig.conf

Please remove the / at the end of the domain name in the ISPConfig website settings. You must enter "visualadditions.co.nr" in the domain field and not "visualadditions.co.nr/".

This looks fine.

And you are sure that the domain www.visualadditions.co.nr is pointing to your routers external IP address and you forwarded port 80 and 443 from the router to the IP used in the vhost file. Have you tested this from outside your local network?

[resnostyle]

for some reason i cant test it from my network... if you would like i can give you client access so you can take a look. im at the point of giving up and installing something simpler.

[till]

The current problem seems to be with your router, so another software wont help you.

Is the external IP of your router 204.94.101.45 ?

[resnostyle]

yes it its

[resnostyle]

i have reconfigured my router and it now allows access... but i still get the shared ip message.

[till]

I dont get a timeout when i try to open http://www.visualadditions.co.nr/ in my webbrowser, so your router still seems to be configured wrong.

[resnostyle]

ok give me asec.. and i will turn the server on..

[till]

Ok, now I get the shared IP page too.

Please double check that you redirected port 80 on your router to the exact same internal IP address that is shown in the settings of the website visualadditions.co.nr in ISPConfig.

[resnostyle]

i think i will just install ubuntu lamp server... because i can not figure this out... thats why the server didnt respond before, i was starting the installtion on another drive. do you want to check my files for me? i will give you login...

[falko]

Please make sure that the IP addresses you see in Vhosts_ispconfig.conf are the ones you see in your ifconfig output!

[resnostyle]

yep..

see anything wrong?

[falko]

Ok, now I get it: www.visualadditions.co.nr is pointing to 82.146.34.249:

So I guess you somehow redirected the domain to 204.94.101.45 (with a HTTP redirect?) instead of changing its A record. Its A record must point to 204.94.101.45 instead of 82.146.34.249!

[resnostyle]

ok so where do i change the "A" record?

[falko]

The authoritative name server is ns1.redirect.com.ru, so you must change it there:

dig ns visualadditions.co.nr

[resnostyle]

i enter that on dns?

[falko]

You must contact the owner of ns1.redirect.com.ru and ask him to change your DNS records. Maybe this server belongs to your ISP? Maybe they even have a web interface where you can do the changes yourself.

[resnostyle]

do you know where this server is? could changing my domain fix it? or is this with my isp?

i am using a free domain service.

[falko]

do you know where this server is?
No, it must be related to one of the services you use (your web hoster maybe, or your domain registrar,...).

[resnostyle]

what do i put in for name server? maybe thats wrong...

[falko]

No, the DNS server is ns1.redirect.com.ru. You can ask your registrar to change it to another name server.
