Apache not starting up after installing ispconfig3

[jamesls]

Hi

I'm using ubuntu 8.10
I followed the perfect server for ubuntu 8.10 and it worked fine for a week
I then installed the ispconfig 3 and now apache won't start it says

[warn] namevirtualhost 192.168.0.100:8080 has no virtual hosts
[warn] namevirtualhost 192.168.0.100:* has no virtual hosts
[warn] namevirtualhost 192.168.0.100:80 has no virtual hosts

[fail]

I also think I'm missing some sub directories off /var/www/ I only have 3, webalizer, ispconfig, php-cgi-scripts
Looking at some config files for apache they mention directiories like "client" and in an error file there's another one for vlogger ... I don't appear to have them.

I installed the desktop version of ubuntu not the server version I hope that doesn't make a big difference.

I'd apreciate any help
James

below is part of my apache error log

I followed the perfect server for ubuntu 8.10 and it worked fine for a week

Which exact guide did you follow?

[jamesls]

I followed The Perfect Server - Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex (Ubuntu 8.10)
and installed ispconfig 3.0.11

I followed the instructions in "install_ubuntu_8.10.txt" that came withthe ispconfig 3 package.
When I say I followed them I carried out the the istructions listed below
I didn't Change Document root to /var/www/apache2-default/ because I don't have a directory there.. Should there be one


8) Install ISPConfig 3
************************************************** *****************************
There are two possile scenarios a) or b), but not both:

a) Installation of beta 3
___
cd /tmp
wget http://www.ispconfig.org/downloads/I...0.9-rc2.tar.gz
tar xvfz ISPConfig_3.0.0.9-rc2.tar.gz
cd ispconfig3_install/install/
___

after a)

proceed with the ISPConfig installation. Now start the installation process by executing:
___
php -q install.php
___

The installer will configure all services like postfix, sasl, courier, etc. for you. A manual setup as required for ISPConfig 2 (perfect setup guides) is not nescessary. To login to the ISPConfig controlpanel, open the following URL in your browser (replace the IP to match your settings!):

http://server1.mydomain.tld:8080/

the default login is:

user: admin
password: admin

In case you get a permission denied error from apache, please restart the apache webserver process.


8) Further Configuration-Tips
************************************************** *****************************
8.1) Apache
************************************************** *****************************
edit /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
change the first lines to match your system.

Replace 0.0.0.0 with your IP.
Change Document root to /var/www/apache2-default/
This directory is now the standard-hompage for your Server.
###
NameVirtualHost 0.0.0.0:80

<VirtualHost 0.0.0.0:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

DocumentRoot /var/www/apache2-default/

###

If you followed this guide:

http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-se...10-ispconfig-3

then everything is installed and configured properly inc. ispconfig. the ispconfig installation instructions contain basically the same, so you dont have to follow them as configuring everything twice might break your setup.

[jamesls]

mmmm oh dear

Thats not the one I followed ..... Never mind I'm geting good at reinstalling linux.

I had a glance at that "how to" and it is different... I'll go give it a try

I think that solves my problem

Many thanks

James

Most likely you followed the perfect server guide for ispconfig 2, if this was the case then it explains your problems. The perfect server guide for ispconfig 2 is not compatible with ispconfig 3 as ispconfig 3 uses completely different applications and a different setup.
