Debian 4 Move /var/www to /home/www ln -s

[s2angel]

I recently been wanting to get a server up and running and stop paying a provider. I got everything working and then deceded to run the latest ispconfig..

They have changed the place where all the user web sites are stored on debian.. (Agggh!)

I like that the majority of the wear and tear of the harddriveto be contained to the / (root) and swap part of the harddrive.. gives me anouther chance to recover the data.. I was happy with a decent swap, fair size root and what ever was left for the storage of webhosting ( /home/ )
I was shocked to find that they changed it.. !! (in the latest version of ispconfig for debian )

Now I am curuious where do I change this in the configuration files..
I want to copy it all over to a www dir ( /home/www) and make a symbolic link

Can I do this? will this work?

I am not about to reload and fight with etch v4 debian ( I should write a tutorial!)

Thanks

You should have used the expert mode during installation, there you can choose /home/www.

Move all files from /var/www to /home/www, then change /var/www in the isp_server table in the ISPConfig MySQL database. Also change the users' home directories in /etc/passwd and the paths in Vhosts_ispconfig.conf.
I hope I haven't forgotten anything.

SO with out caring too much for the One website I setup for testting.. What do I delete to reinstall ispconfig so I can start fresh with advanced config..

Thanks

Also is there a list some place where everything is installed?
Maybe someone can ppoint me in the right direction..

To remove ISPConfig, execute the script:

/root/ispconfig/uninstall

Then you can reinstall ISPConfig afterwards.

What if you followed this http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/sho...pconfig+remove
and you removed the sql directory and now its sorta messed.. how would I remove everything that would allow me to install fresh

So there is the /root/ispconfig then what do I delete in the var and any place else?

Which SQL directory did you delete exactly. If you delted just the datbase directory, there cant be anything messed up.

There is no solution to run the uninstall script anymore as you followed the other uninstall instructions.

Please run:

rm -fr /home/admispconfig
rm -rf /root/ispconfig

make sure you removed the database and install ISPConfig again.

Ok I have done this.. now I still have re did the setup (uncompressed /root/install_ispconfig and run the setup.. with advanced .. now all looks good.. but in the now /home/www it seems to have the websites I added on my last install.. how can that be possible is it reading a old config someplace?

I added 3 websites I made when I did my first run in /var/www when i was just playing. ugh!!

is there something else i should of deleted othere then

rm -fr /home/admispconfig
rm -rf /root/ispconfig

Only the uninstaller deletes the content too. But there is no problem with the content, ISPConfig will overwrite it, you will just have to empty the web directories.
