Apache - Virtual hosts - ISPConfig

[Hans]

After adding a new site within ISConfig 2.2.1 via > ISP Manager > New site > there appear NO modifcations within /etc/apache2/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf
The result is that the created website is NOT reachable from the Internet.

I have also seen that there is a long list in directory /etc/apache2/vhosts/ with different Vhost files like: /etc/apache2/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf_22-04-06_13-23-59

I have to say that every time I create a new website in ISPConfig, the virtual host for the last site appears in the last file like: /etc/apache2/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf_dd-mm-yy_hr-min-sec.

So I did the following to solve the problem:
I renamed /etc/apache2/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf to /etc/apache2/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig-old.conf

I copied the last and most up to date /etc/apache2/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf_dd-mm-yy_hr-min-sec to /etc/apache2/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf

I restarted Apache by: /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

While starting up Apache again an error occurs:

Invalid command 'php_admin_flag', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration.

I removed all the lines starting with 'php_admin_flag' within my new /etc/apache2/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf

After this, Apache is starting up successfully again, although it gave me a warning:

Forcing reload of web server: Apache2 ... no pidfile found! not running?

And, via ISPConfig I can NOT add new virtualhosts within my file /etc/apache2/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf.

How can I solve this problem?

This means that the PHP module is missing in your Apache configuration.

Falko,

But do you have any idea how i can install the PHP module again?
I do not know which module i am missing ...
Do i have to install Apache all over again from your Perfect Setup for Debian?

Please post the output of

ls -la /etc/apache2/mods-available

and

ls -la /etc/apache2/mods-enabled

[Hans]

Falko,

It must be something with php i think.
The main problem is that new sites are not added in the file:
vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf

Here is the output you requested:

Do you see something that i miss that should be in your Debian perfect setup?

Falko,

for your information and to help you to the right track:

Before i started with squirrelmail, i tried a setup with Horde/IMP.
For that reason i read the documentation at http://www.horde.org and this thread: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/sho...orde#post20195

During my preparations for Horde i did the following as mentioned in the thread above:

apt-get install php4-mcrypt
apt-get install libfile-type-perl libapache2-mod-php4 libfile-mmagic-perl

I guess my experience is not enough, but i did not succeed with Horde/IMP.
The installation process was a little to complicated for me, so finally i choose for squirrelmail.

So i removed the extra installed modules again with:

apt-get remove php4-mcrypt
apt-get remove libfile-type-perl libapache2-mod-php4 libfile-mmagic-perl

I think since then, I can not add new virtual hosts anymore in /etc/apache2/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf

Only a vhost file is added like /etc/apache2/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf_dd-mm-yy_hr-min-sec. but NOT within the /etc/apache2/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf itself!

I also have to say that PHP-scripts with the websites i host do NOT function anymore !!

I really hope we can solve this.
