How do I install ISPCONFIG IN A VIRTUAL HOST?

[fedora777]

I tried to install Ispconfig. Everything went fine until I reach the part where it asked me the following:

please enter URL (www) --- I entered www
ok
Please enter domain (e.g. xyz.de) -- I entered the FQDN of our nameserver.

It gave me this response the URL is unreachable!

So I tried another FQDN which is in the same server. It went through. I chose, http after that by the way.

Then I tried accessing it, the server is telling me that the page is not found or server cannot connect.

How do you install ISPconfig in a virtual host? (Where a few domains already exist in the same server?)

Thanks.

A virtual host is no different from a physical server.

You must specify an FQDN that is pointing to the server. If there's no such FQDN, you can specify one in /etc/hosts (until you create the FQDN in DNS) or specify the server's ip address instead of the FQDN.

My server has a FQDN. Everything goes fine until I finish typing the URL.

Then I cannot access it. The I am getting an avc denial fromSE Linux. Do you have any idea about this?

Thanks.

As far as I know You have to disable SELinux. Otherwise You will have problems with running ISPConfig. Refer to the proper "Perfect Setup" tutorial for instructions how to do it.

Do you mean I have to uninstall Linux? Or are you referring to the security policy of linux?

If you mean the 2nd question, then my server will be vulnerable. Or can I restore the security after installation?


Thanks.

No, it will not be vulnerable. Please take a look at http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-fedora9

I saw the instruction for Fedora 9. Maybe I will upgrade my fedora 8 to fedora 9 so I can follow exactly what you did to install ISPconfig.

Is it okay to configure my DNS server first before installing ISPconfig though?

I am just wondering if this is another issue that will interfere with ISPconfig installation. You see, I am using the same authorative DNS server to install ISPconfig.

Thanks again.

First way: run:

system-config-securitylevel

and disable selinux.
Second way:

service selinux stop
chkconfig selinux off
