apache2 throws up a few warns during restart (ISPConfig3)

Hey,
I am testing this script on a Home made Server.

All set up well, I managed to modify a DNS Record on my primary web host to redirect my subdomain local.xyz.tld and it works well I manage to get the default index page, However i noticed While using my Shell Access to restart the services Apache brings up the following:

Code:

[Thu Sep 01 19:55:23 2011] [warn] NameVirtualHost 192.168.0.200:80 has no VirtualHosts

[Thu Sep 01 19:55:23 2011] [warn] NameVirtualHost 192.168.0.200:443 has no VirtualHosts

 ... waiting [Thu Sep 01 19:55:24 2011] [warn] NameVirtualHost 192.168.0.200:80 has no VirtualHosts

[Thu Sep 01 19:55:24 2011] [warn] NameVirtualHost 192.168.0.200:443 has no VirtualHosts

:confused::confused:

My setup is as follows

My Server is setup via a router with DMZ enabled (for now) and my router IP is semi-static (only changes if i turn off my router which is never) so my server has a local STATIC IP as shown above.

also i can not access webmail when using outside the internal network.

Any Help would be massive!! thanks =]:D

Don't worry. This is because you haven't created any site on this ip.

How do you try access to webmail? http://local.xyz.tld/webmail ?

well at first it was domain.com/webmail but with that not working i decided to try a mod to allow webmail.domain.com both fail

also my ispconfig system messages log says "unable ro read /var/log/messages"

For webmail.domain.com you need create a subdomain and add A DNS record.

When you try to access to your webmail ...
... error.log shows something ?
... do you get some error in your browser?

Can you access from your internal network ?

I did that from outset. I forgot to mention i had checked all DNS record as i run companies shared hosts dns records =]

where is that again? being a total *unix noob and used to cpanel...

yes when i run via domain.com/webmail i get 404 as of writing i am restarting server

i am accessing the server through http and by ssh on local network

im at a loss

ok i realised what i did wrong i used a A record on my main host dns and not a ns record for the subdomain.

time to contact webhost :S any ideas of what domain registrars allow subdomain NS records if this goes bad?

Well, then step by step.

In ssh console, type:

Code:

tail -f /var/www/yourdomain.com/log/error.log

"tail" reads the last lines of a file.

Then, try to access to domain.com/webmail and paste here the new lines you get.

Code:

You don't need NS record for subdomain like webmail.domain.com

Maybe is better you delegate DNS to ISPConfig.
