ISPCONFIG install host name question.

[badgerbox76]

I just finished installing ispconfing but during that last steps of the install when its asks you for the host (Example:Please enter the host name: E.g. www) i entered www the first time then my domain (Example:Please enter the domain: E.g. xyz.de) monitorwaves.no-ip.org but it said it could not reach my system at this so the next time it gave me Please enter the host name: E.g. www i left it blank and then entered my domain name monitorwaves.no-ip.org and it finished the install. I belive i need to correct this inorder of ispconfig to funtion properly.

You can correct this setting in ISPConfig under management > server > settings.

Ok i change www to monitorwaves and domain to no-ip.org . I still cant reach the site at http://www.monitorwaves.no-ip.org/ . I can only reach it at http://monitorwaves.no-ip.org/ and when i get there i get the server index index of / . I have restarted ispconfig and restarted my computer but there is still no change. I have had this problem for such along time i am thinking about just forgeting about computers all together :(

Even a wrong hostname in ISPConfig does not make the server unreachable, so your problem must be related to another issue. I guess this issue is a wrong setting at no-ip.org and not your server.

If you run:

ping www.monitorwaves.no-ip.org

and

ping monitorwaves.no-ip.org

Are both addresses reachable and shop the same IP address? If not, check the configuration of www.monitorwaves.no-ip.org at no-ip.org.

I will play with it some more and see if i can find out more. My server has been off, so that could be why its unreachable.

OK i got part of my dns working. Now when you enter http://monitorwaves.homelinux.com/ it takes you to the right directory. (NOTE: Yes i got a new dns name) but i still cant figureout how to get the site to work with www

Here are all the domains i have for the site:
Host:monitorwaves
Domain:homelinux.com

Host:
Domain:homelinux.com

Host:www
Domain:monitorwaves.homelinux.com

Host:www
Domain:homelinux.com

Even with all these domains i still cant access the site with the www. Also a friend of mine wants to host his site with this dns 32bit.at/KLowD9x http://www.32bit.at/KLowD9x/ i cant get it to even redirect to the right direcoty like i did with monitorwaves. How can i fix these problems? Thanks again guys!

Did you create these host & domain names with the option "new site" or did you entered them into the co-domain field of an existing site?

It must work when you enter the hostname domain names into the co-domain field.

Forwarding from one seperate site to another site on the same ISPConfig server is not possible.

[badgerbox76]

This host/domain is one the front page of my site in ispconfig

Host:monitorwaves
Domain:homelinux.com

The other domains and host. All the ones below are in co-domain

Host:
Domain:homelinux.com

Host:www
Domain:monitorwaves.homelinux.com

Host:www
Domain:homelinux.com

Also i seem to be having problems with DNS names with numbers and symbols like - is this a known problem if you how can i fix it.

www.monitorwaves.homelinux.com doesn't exist in DNS:

dig www.monitorwaves.homelinux.com

; <<>> DiG 9.2.4 <<>> www.monitorwaves.homelinux.com
;; global options: printcmd
;; Got answer:

If homelinux.com allows you to create www.monitorwaves.homelinux.com, do it now, if they don't allow it, then you're lost...

I am thinking about using this howto http://www.howtoforge.com/intrusion_detection_with_ossec_hids along with snort and base. Do you think this will keep it protected better then just installing the rootkit scanner (chkrootkit)? Thanks

[falko]

It adds another level of security, but it's no replacement for chkrootkit and rkhunter.
