Ispconfig 3 Vhost issues.

[vk1003]

also another issue i faced is that the :8080 was working fine when i tried accessing from a differnet connection from our office (but it was that of the same provider) and for some of friends located in different places.. the :8080 was not opening..

do we need to do anything specific for it to show up in all places over the internet ?

If that is your local IP, then yes.

and for some of friends located in different places.. the :8080 was not opening.

Some ISPs might block port 8080.

hi the following are the main issues that i face..

1. we have installed the ispconfig and centos 5.5 and were able to add the domains .. while checking on the same server, the ispconfig login is showing up but the sites for the domains we created are not showing ... it simply keeps showing up the apache test page for all domains created in it.

2. I control the dns on the domain level. i have put the A record to point to this ip .. does this have any effect on this ?.


I am a newbie and would like to have a good explanation to help sort this out.

Did you select * or a specific IP address for your web sites in ISPConfig?

hi

thanks for all your help now i am able to get the server load different site live.. but only one issue is now before us.. for exampls www.mytranslator.in is the domain running on that server.. and the ispconfig is http://www.mytranslator.in:8080 for some it opens but for many its showing nothing.. cant we not change this port to some thing else like :2000 or :443 or :8443 like that ?

if so how to do it ?

Please make sure that your firewall allows requests on port 8080.

All my domains added in the ISP config panel are pointing to the same page.

This is what i get when I restart Apache.

root@web1:/etc/apache2# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Restarting web server: apache2[Thu Jul 21 00:52:31 2011] [warn] NameVirtualHost 192.168.175.56:443 has no VirtualHosts
 ... waiting [Thu Jul 21 00:52:33 2011] [warn] NameVirtualHost 192.168.175.56:443 has no VirtualHosts

Any ideas?

Make sure that you selected either * or the ip address for all websites and do not mix that. If you selcted now * for all sites and get the behaviour that you described, then switch all sites to use the IP address.

I've fixed the issue but I don't know what was the cause. As it was a fresh installation I've just reinstalled everything again an it worked.

I would love to help ISP Config with a UX Redesign. I have a UX Consultancy from Brazil and I'm using for some of our servers. I think that ISP Config is great in some aspects but it lacks a better UI and some functionality.

Client templates for example could be more powerful, I had to create a manual procedure to "Add new site" to remember that emails, ftp, ssh, domains and etc need do be configured each time i add a new website
