klavslund, glad you solved your problem...
back to me, i have further questions...

this is what i have:
1) new box FC4 + ISPConfig installed
2) registered a new domain name (example.com)
3) 4 IP addresses given by my ISP (ip1, ip2, ip3, ip4)
4) rack space with my ISP

am i correct to say that i can do this when i bring my server to my ISP rack:

1) setup the box with IPADDR = ip1
2) get my ISP to host the DNS for example.com (and point to ip1)
3) login to www.example.com:81/login.php and start creating new sites

===================

Q1) for new sites (eg example2.com), will i be able to host the DNS myself?
Q2) if one of my sites (eg https://www.example3.com) require SSL, can i add another IP address (ip2) and enable it using ISPConfig?
Q3) i can create sub-domains (eg app.example2.com, mail.example2.com) at will?
Q4) i can create unlimited user/email/ftp account (eg user1@example2.com, user2@example2.com) at will?

thanks!

yes.

Yes. Just add the IP address in ISPConfig under management > server > settings in the IP-List field, one IP per line.

Q3) i can create sub-domains (eg app.example2.com, mail.example2.com) at will?

Yes.

Q4) i can create unlimited user/email/ftp account (eg user1@example2.com, user2@example2.com) at will?

Yes. Only limited by your hardware though

is it possible to install tomcat for the sites created using ISPConfig?

another question...

for a new site that is created by ISPConfig, (www.example2.com) the DNS will be hosted by my box...

however, the domain registra of example2.com would require primary and secondary DNS servers right? then who shall be my secondary DNS server?

There are several possibilitys:

1) Point both nameserver entries to your server IP. But if your server fails, the domain will not be reachable anymore in DNS. On the other hand, if Mail and Webserver are on the same server anyway, it does not make a big difference if DNS fails too

2) You need a second server.

3) If i remember correctly, there are some free secondary DNS hosting services. My be you find some in the search engines (not to name googling

4) Maybe your domain regitry provides secondary DNS services, some registrys provide secondary DNS even for free.

Many choices, now its up to you

I dont understand how your question is related to this thread. This thread is about the options for a secondary DNS for ISPConfig. ISPCOnfig 2 supports only BIND.

can you please explain it a bit more

"mysqladmin -h host -u username -p create mydns" from Installation Manual,

I found this error when used for host trafmeter and root for username


mysqladmin: connect to server at 'trafmeter' failed
error: 'Host 'localhost.localdomain' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server'

Some advises?

some questions:

1) notice that apache is showing directory listing - which config file must i update to disable it?

2) after configuring ispconfig, is it recommended that i reserve the "main" FQDM just for accessing ispconfig control panel, or i can use it just like any sites of mine

thanks

Directory listings are disabled in ISPCOnfig by default, have you abled them manually in your apache configuration.

The apache directive is:

Options -Indexes

The configuration in your httpd.conf (or apache.conf / apache2.conf) should look ike this:

<Directory /home/www/*/web>
    Options +Includes +FollowSymlinks -Indexes
    AllowOverride Indexes AuthConfig Limit FileInfo
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all

    <Files ~ "^\.ht">
    Deny from all
    </Files>
</Directory>

2) after configuring ispconfig, is it recommended that i reserve the "main" FQDM just for accessing ispconfig control panel, or i can use it just like any sites of mine

Your main FQDM shall be onloy used for the controlpanel.
