Code:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.1.222 servebox
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
This is an important clarification for me, whether to change anything in that file and if so, what exactly. As of the time of this post, I have restarted the perfect setup and not modified /etc/hosts/ at all. |
I'm pretty sure if you are using IP only then no modifications are needed to /etc/hosts. However either way it is really a moot point because as Falko said all this does is save or fake a DNS look up. This will not make or break
your setup.

even necessary? In my case, the correct syntax would be:
Code:
mysqladmin -h servebox -u root password yourrootsqlpassword
?
My user DB looks like this:

Does that make sense?
I'd like to continue the perfect setup now, and was wondering whether i should hold off until this mysql thing is solved or whether i can just go on installing. Is this something that can be fixed later? I know mySQL should be up and running by the time i install ISPConfig, at the latest.
Sorry for the long post, but this is mostly new to me, and i need help getting to grips with it. |
Unless I'm missing something with ISPConfig I think this is again a moot point. If you are running everything on one server and never allowing remote mySQL connections then yeah localhost is fine and your connect string can be as simple as:
However ISPConfig may use a host in its connect string, this can likely be easily modified to localhost.
I've only used ISPConfig briefly once before. It seems like a bit of overkill for an IP based setup like yours. You sure you need it?
