ISPConfig and DynDns

[Musty]

Greetings everyone.
I have just installed ISPConfig on a fedora 8 Linux. I used webmin without problems before, but I read that ISPConfig is much more user-friendly and a bit more comprehensive than Webmin. The problem is that I have a registered domain name with DynDns and a few free domains for testing purposes. My ISP uses dynamic IP, but this is not a problem since I have configured my router for dyndns and opened all the necessary ports in the router NAT. I have also installed Inadyn daemon to update the IP with DynDns.

My question is : how do I go about using ISPConfig with dynamic IP? So far, I can only access the ISPConfig panel but that's it.

In other words, my registered domain name is, say, *.something.org and other free domains are domain1.dyndns.org, domain2.ath.cx ...etc..., how do I configure them in ISPConfig so they go live?

Thank you very much for your help·

i have used the free domain names from dyndns with ISPconfig before
its just

mydns.homeip.net _________ ( TOP level domain )
webmail.mydns.homeip.net __________ ( SUB level )

Thank you for your reply.
I have had headaches with it so I went back to webmin. But again, I have another problem. Apache displays html files but no php. I have checked php module and it's there. I just don't get it.

I have never had this problem before. Did I do anything wrong?

Thanks again for your time

check the setings on the domain you setup
i think there is an oration for php or
see if they is enabled

by default step by step
the php on the default level of apache is disabled
@ /var/www/htdocs or /var/www/html

ow do I know that it is / is not disabled? Here is the loadmodule list from my configuration file. As you can see I added the last line for apache to load module php, restarted apache. Still nothing!

its looks enable there
but try here

log in to the ispconfig
admin panel
and check the domain your working on


goto the
/home/web.number/htdocs
and
try this

vi info.php

<?php
phpinfo()
?>

if its load than PHP is working

BTW : did u get the free DNS name problem fix ?

Thanks again. The phpinfo thing confirmed that php is working fine. Then why I can't view php files?
For DNS problem, as I told you earlier I went into a fresh install of fedora 8 and installed Webmin instead of Ispconfig. I used the former for quite some time and I am familiar with it.

I will be trying out a few things and will get back with the outcome.

Thanks again for your help.

if you made the php files yourself
check to see if you used
<?php
not
<?

i was having the same problem for ages
where php files i was typing myself
didn't work
to i worked out what i was doing wrong

if it something you downloaded
than try running the
chown -R zcworld:www /var/www/vhosts

replace zcworld : with the account you use for normal access
and the /var/www/vhosts
with the path they are at

good luck with it
<personal for me : i dont use any webmain / ispconfig on my www box i know what im doing via command line


but its an nice tool
webmain is a tab evil / hard i found
but i will learn it

He heee. I am pretty sure if I made the php files myself they will NEVER work!

I use webmin to change the vhost folder permissions and user / group are changed to apache. This has always worked for me in the past. I will check DynDns and see if the Dynamic IP has been updated. That causes problems too.

I am not a real guru in Linux, but I can take care of a few things. Also, all the help you can find on the web is interesting for linux dummies like myself! But sure you should try out webmin. It's a great tool!
