Shared IP error when adding new site

[amoswright]

Hi, I'm having trouble setting up a new site with ISPConfig - I get a shared IP error.

When I set up the site, it only gives me the option of using the internal IP, which I assume is good. I've looked in the forums and tried changing the ISPConfig server address in /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/lib/config.inc.php between the internal and external IP numbers, and tried using one of the external URL FQDN's there too, but it didn't seem to help. My server is at www.bathskatepark.org, and I have www.reachmorse.org pointed to the same external IP. With no new sites installed, when I go to www.bathskatepark.org I get the default apache web page. When I add www.reachmorse.org as a new site, both domains give the shared IP error.

I have a linksys wrt54g router acting as a gateway. I have the following ports forwarded:
ispconfig 81
ftp 21
pop3 110
https 443
bind 53
ssh 22
smtp 25
http 80
domain 53
imaps 993...
and that is all that I have space for on the admin web site for the router. But, I also tried the turning off the fire wall on the router, and still no luck.

Likely I'm missing something obvious... any sugggestions what that might be? Thanks!!!

1) Point all your domains in DNS to your external IP address.
2) Forward the ports you named above to your internal server IP address.
3) Setup the websites in ISPCOnfig with your internal server IP, it must be the same IP where you forwarded the ports on your router.

Thanks for the quick response Till. I had tried that set-up, and just tried it again. Unfortunately, as soon as I add a second site, I get the shared IP error.

Are there settings from my DNS provider (yahoo.com, both domains are set up as masked forwarding) that would effect this? Or router issues I could look into?

Thanks again,
Amos

The shared IP site is not an error or error site, it only says that you do not have a website with the corrct IP / Domain combination on your server.

What is masked forwarding? You need DNS A-Records pointing to your external IP, not any kind of forwarding.

What's in your Vhosts_ispconfig.conf?

Hi and thanks! It appears that getting rid of yahoo.com's "masked forwarding" and adding the DNS A records did the trick!

It is great that you guys are so tollerant of newbies like myself!

Thanks again, Amos
