Questions about ubuntu ISP-Server Setup

[badgerbox76]

Hello i am a newbie and i am trying to setup a server as shown here

http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_ubuntu_5.10

Through out the installation process it asks for my hostname and i am not sure what its wants because i have setup a ulr name at noip which is monitorwaves.no-ip.org and my lan name is ubuntuserver. also when setting up the mail server can i specife my own name like @monitorwaves.no-ip.org ? In addition there is a step were you remove

#application/x-httpd-php phtml pht php
#application/x-httpd-php-source phps
#application/x-httpd-php3 php3
#application/x-httpd-php3-preprocessed php3p
#application/x-httpd-php4 php4

from the mime.types which provents me from using phpmyadmin, is there a way to run both ISPConfig phpmyadmin and phpnuke on the same system.

thanks much for your time and help

This is done to disable PHP globally because with ISPConfig you can enable PHP on a per-web-site basis. If you did not disable PHP globally, then PHP would work for each web site you create in ISPConfig, no matter if you enable/disable PHP for that web site in ISPConfig.
You can use ISPConfig's phpMyAdmin package: http://www.ispconfig.org/downloads.htm

For phpnuke, you simply create a web site with ISPConfig, enable PHP for that web site, and then you install phpnuke in that web site.

Great News about phpnuke and phpmyadmin !

Through out the installation process it asks for my hostname and i am not sure what its wants because i have setup a ulr name at noip which is monitorwaves.no-ip.org and my lan name is ubuntuserver.

I am sorry i did not make this clear so i will try to this time. When i am installing software as shown in http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_ubuntu_5.10 so of the software some times asks for a hostname and i am not sure which to give, my computers lan host name ubuntuserver or my noip name monitorwaves.no-ip.org (which i would like to use as my site address).

Thanks again for your help and your good looking site

Try this:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost ubuntuserver
192.168.0.105 monitorwaves.no-ip.org

# 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
