vhost_ispconfig not beeing updated

[dezibel]

Hi there!

just updatet to the latest ISP-config, and now my vhost_ispconfig-file won't reflect any changes made to sites in ispconfig. here is the output from the ispconfig logfile:

22.06.2007 - 10:17:57 => INFO - /root/ispconfig/scripts/lib/config.lib.php, Line 1231: cp -fr /etc/apache2/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf /etc/apache2/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf~

and here is httpd -t:

admin@ubuntu-p3:~$ httpd -t
Syntax OK

Why?

please help

[till]

You must rename the Vhost_ispconfig.conf file with the date appended to Vhost_ispconfig.conf before you run httpd -t.

mv /etc/apache2/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf_22-06-07_10-17-57 /etc/apache2/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf

[dezibel]

thanks that told me why is failed

I had to recover my ISP Config server after it recently lost some data due to the hdd heating up. At the same time I also upgraded from ISPC version 2.2.6 to 2.2.19. I managed to get the ISP Config running fine on the new installation, but now it cannot write to the Vhosts_ispconfig.conf

I also do not have a copy of the dated *.conf file anywhere, only the actual Vhosts_ispconfig.conf, and ISP Config cannot write to this file, as I have to manually add new websites and delete them from this file. The output of httpd -t as follows:

PHP Code:

httpd: Could not reliably determine the servers fully qualified domain name, using mail.actiononline.co.za for ServerName
[Thu Mar 20 06:54:11 2008] [warn] NameVirtualHost 196.37.170.xxx:80 has no VirtualHosts
[Thu Mar 20 06:54:11 2008] [warn] NameVirtualHost 196.37.170.xxx:80 has no VirtualHosts
Syntax OK 


Although it says it has no VirtualHosts, all the websites are accessible on the server. Adding, editing or deleting either mailbox users or domains from the ISPConfig control panel has no effect on the actual files.

The messages are warnings and not errors, you can ignore them.

If you want to find a error in Vhost_ispconfig.conf, rename the files as I described above before you run httpd -t

[actiononline]

I renamed my Vhost_ispconfig.conf file to Vhost_ispconfig.conf_01-03-08_10-17-57 and saved in in etc/apache2/vhosts/ and restarted everything. I then added a new website in the control panel, and although it shows up there, it was not added to the Vhost_ispconfig.conf file.

On an existing website I had a login problem with one of the mail accounts on the domain. I tried resetting the password, and that didn't work, so I deleted the user and wanted to re-create the box. This then gave me an error from the ISPC control panel saying the account already exists. I checked the passwd file, and there is no such user. I then also checked the virtualusertable in postfix to see if the user is there, but nothing.

So where else can the user information be that prevents ISPConfig from deleting the info and recreating? And then how can the permission problem be sorted out that will allow ISPConfig to write to all the necessary files?

Did you rename the Vhost_ispconfig.conf file with the date appended to Vhost_ispconfig.conf and run

httpd -t

?

[actiononline]

yes, I renamed the file and ran httpd -t and it gave me the same output as before

[falko]

What's the output of

ls -la /etc/apache2/vhosts

and

ls -la /root/ispconfig

? Any errors/warnings in /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/ispconfig.log?

[actiononline]

PHP Code:

And here is what I could see in the ISPConfig log when the user mailbox was deleted and recreated.

PHP Code:

Then I also saw this that seemed suspect:
