Centos 4.2 Install And Lots Of Questions .

Hello,
Ok i was finally after like 5 tries able to get this control panel installed , but when it asked for domain name i put some random domain , and now i have following problems and issues:

1. The images and all popups that are supposed to popup are all blank and keep trying to connect to that randomdomain.com all the time, resulting in making the control panel utterly useless, i have done this also :

nano /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/lib/config.inc.php

and edited the domain in their to the server ip , but still nothing. (Got it working now i think , but how do i setup nameservers as i got only 1 ip.)

2. The control panel doesnt work in IE at all its all blank page no login page comes up , only works with FF.

3. VSFTPD is now offline and old users probably got deleted , so how to configure ftp again .

4. Gives Following Stats under services :
Web-Server: Offline
FTP-Server: Online
SMTP-Server: Online
POP3-Server: Offline
BIND-Server: Offline
mySQL-Server: Online

I dunno than how come the control panel is working when webserver is offline.

5. Also , i tried creating a user and domain and ftp account doesnt get created neither does anything else like www/their directory or something, i have yum install httpd.i386 installed , but this cpanel works on old apache and do i need to edit any httpd.conf file to make this thing work , say when i add account it creates their folder somewhere in home etc. the apache built into centos has location of www in /var/www and main site is /var/www/html/ . So how do i create or edit http.conf so that the new users are created and a new seprate folder with their name is made in that html or somewhere on server like with cpanel it makes /home/username, how to get it going? Plus the command /etc/init.d/httpd start or stop doesnt work so to get http online i have to use httpd - k start .

7.No FTP users get created . Plus vsftpd doesnt work now and i cannot connect to it using ftp client , although service vsftpd start shows vsftpd booted. But ftp client cannot access it.

So if anyone know how to get the things working properly do let me know.

Just removed it all , and now vsftpd works , but any clue as to what is wrong whenever i install it it goes offline ?

Wow, lots of questions... First you should have a look into /var/log/ispconfig_install.log and /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/ispconfig.log and look out for errors.

You mean you want to run your own nameservers? I recommend that you get a second server and then do it like this: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/sho...92&postcount=4

That's strange... Which URL did you put in /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/lib/config.inc.php?

Code:

netstat -tap

ISPConfig has its own Apache running on port 81 so that ISPConfig works even if the main Apache is down.

You don't have to edit httpd.conf at all, it's all done by ISPConfig.

Please have a look at /etc/passwd to check if your users got created or not.
Do you have a firewall that prevents accesses to FTP? Please post the output of

Code:

iptables -L

Did you try both active and passive mode in your email client? What's the exact error message?

I put myip and do not put www in there , but when it asks for domain say xyz.be i just put my ip. Ok i try installation again also, also it crashes when i use R as the certificate when it asks for rsa key , so have to do D option. And ways i try it installing again now .

I have sent u iptables -L in ur Email

I just did reinstall and still same problems . Nothing changed. Even in IE its all blank.

Also tried to create a user with domain and everything and when i went into ftp login option it said:

Code:

Could not connect as user someuser

So trying with ftp client is usless cause i can login to other old users that were on vsftpd using the isp panel's ftp tool but not via ftp client like filezilaa.

Are you sure you used the correct username (e.g. web1_someuser) and enabled FTP for that web site in ISPConfig?

Quote:

vsftpd is run by the ispconfig_tcpserver, therefore you must run

Code:

/etc/init.d/ispconfig_tcpserver start

to start vsftpd.

/etc/init.d/ispconfig_tcpserver start

to start vsftpd.

Is this normal :

Code:

[root@localhost ~]# /etc/init.d/ispconfig_tcpserver stop

Stopping ispconfig_tcpserver

[root@localhost ~]# /etc/init.d/ispconfig_tcpserver start

Starting ispconfig_tcpserver

[root@localhost ~]# Incorrectly built binary which accesses errno or h_errno directly. Needs to be fixed.

Incorrectly built binary which accesses errno or h_errno directly. Needs to be fixed.

And where do i enable FTP for that web site in ISPConfig ? I give him hosting plan with ftp checked (if that is what u meant ?)

And strange my IE doesnt even open the demo site given on ispconfig.org , so what needs to be enabled in IE ? java , active x ? what does it need ?
Anyways sorted IE problem had to add the site to trusted site, as i got win2k3 on me and IE is kinda too much secured.

The tcpserver seems to be incompatible with your distribution... :(
I recommend to use ProFTPd instead of vsftpd because then you don't need the tcpserver...

Yes, that's right.

Which version of vsftpd does isp need? and isnt proftpd insecure when compared with vsftpd? And can php4.4 be used instead of php5 cause php5 renders hosting usless cause most forums like phpbb, ipb do not work with php5 yet. So is there any package to run install with php4.4 complied and apache2 complied instead of apache 1.3??

Plus how to access the new users websites? Where do they place files and what url to connect till their domain nameserver propagates for example in cpanel its simples http://ip/~username
So how does it go with isp? And which version of proftpd if needed be installed , or tell the version of vsftpd it supports.

It isn't a matter of vsftpd version. It's just that the tcpserver doesn't work on your system.

Never had any problems.

Now you're mixing a few things up. You have your main Apache which serves your web pages. It can be Apache 1.3 or Apache 2 with PHP4 or PHP5, whichever combination you like most.
And you have the ISPConfig Apache (1.3.x with PHP5) which is running on port 81 and is merely used to serve the ISPConfig web interface. It is totally independent from your main Apache!

Have a look at chapter 2.2.9 on http://www.ispconfig.org/downloads/m..._src.htm#4_2_2.

You can either wait until the DNS records get propagated, or you change your clients hosts file: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=432

It doesn't matter. 1.2.10 or something like that.
