Cant access any subdirectories on my site.

[JoeJoe]

I have just installed ispconfig everything seems to be running fine. I am trying to install Wordpress, and i have tried everything.. i just cant access the install.php file as i am supposed to.
This is really frustrating.. i am realy hoping someone can help?

[fobicodam]

Send more info, cant you upload the file? cant you run it?

[JoeJoe]

Its realy hard to explain the problem,.. because i cant see what i am doing wrong.

when i log in with my ftp i am presented to folders in which i can upload the sites content. I am not sure which one am supposed to upload into.. in order to access the content from a browser.
So i've uploaded everything into a folder called web? is this right?
The wordpress readme says i should put the content in the public html root folder on my webserver? where exactly would that be?

I am not sure..if thats enough info!!!

[fobicodam]

Check:

- When you log in to ftp you see only one folder: "web"?
- Did you check the "administrator" checkbox in your ftp user configuration under ispconfig ?
- Are you uploading the files on your correct user/site ?

[JoeJoe]

- No i see.. cgi-bin, ftp, log, phptmp, ssl, user & web
-am not sure.. where is this done. I have no ftp user config
-yes.. i only have one site on the server

[fobicodam]

Ok, then you are fine with config.

When you upload inside the web folder the program, go to http://yourserver.com/install.php

What does it say?

[JoeJoe]

i´ve uploaded into the web folder. i then go to http://server.com/wp-admin/install.php (the file is inside the wp-admin folder)

i get.. Object not found.. error 404

[fobicodam]

so, the file does not exists... what if you call the root? http://yourserver.com ? what do you get?

[JoeJoe]

I get an annoying "It works"

[fobicodam]

"annoying" ??? isnt it your index.htm page? if its not, then, you are browsing to another place :-P

[JoeJoe]

how is this? i can find any index on my web folder,.. if i did i'd delete it!!
also how come i have error & stats folders in my web folder,.. i cant delete them!! do u have any idea.. whats going on ?

[fobicodam]

try to ping the address your are writing on your explorer to see if it goes to your server IP.

The error and stats folders are created by ISPConfig to save error pages and stats (obviously).

The "It works" file must be your /web/index.html o /web/index.htm file.

It's the standard Apache page you are looking at I think..

The standard ISPconfig page should look like:

Welcome to www.your-website-url!

This is the standard index of your website. You can easily delete it or replace it with another file. This is the index.html file in the web directory.
For questions or problems please contact the server administrator.



Did you set the DNS, and or create the site in ISPconfig?

[fobicodam]

Yes, everything seems to be right on ISPConfig, but the apache server is showing the default page, check your httpd.conf file, look if there is the virtualhosts ispconfig's include.

[fobicodam]

Till, check for future versions, a cron job or some manual switch to check every include on every config file.. it seems to be a common error.

Did you set the DNS, and or create the site in ISPconfig?

Yes,. i've created the site in ispconfig and set the dns aswell. When i ping my domaine i pick up the right IP

I used the perfect setup on madreke free adition,.. and it has a daily update cron running. shouldnt that be enough?

As you can tell am very new to this,... i appreaciate your help guys.

But is this a server error or sumthing am doing wrong in ispconfig ?

cheers!

Are you doing this within you local LAN?

If so, when pinging your domain, are you seeing the LAN IP or WAN IP?

If you see the WAN IP (as it should) , add the local IP (LAN) of your server and domainname that is causing the problem to your hosts file. (make sure you restart your web browsers to read the new 'hosts' file)

I'm about 90% sure that when someone is accessing the domain from outside your LAN that it is working okay! (maybe call a friend and see if he can access the correct site)

I think edge is right, and I guess you use the wrong IP address in ISPConfig. What's the output of ifconfig, and what's in your Vhosts_ispconfig.conf?

i cant seem to find a Vhosts_ispconfig.conf file

I am pingin from outside,.. and i get a WAN ip.
Doesn't work from anywhere!

[edge]
