error on ispconfig3 login

[cortexx]

Well, im using centos5.3 64 bit for the distro, any problems with this ?

also, all the websites are sat on the same ip (192.168.1.77) as they are all on the same server ( this one ). Will that make a difference ?

I'm assuming the internap ip of the server is the ip your referring to and NOT the external ip issued by my isp ?

thanks

No.

Thats ok. You can have thousands of sites on one IP, as long as your server hardware can handle this.

You have to use the internal IP address for the website settings and the external IP address for DNS records.

just to set things straight in my mind :-

User = consumer ( person who payes to have the website hosted )

Client = reseller ( person who buys bulk web space to resell under their own name to their users )

Admin = User with admin rights ?

Sorry , i know these look like stupid questions but ispconfig is not as logically set out as ispconfig 2 in this area .

Might i suggest taking half an hour to write a quick how to set up 2 web sites from a clean install including setting up webspace , ftp and emails for a domain .

I'm sure the time you waste answering these basic questions is greater than the half hour you would invest to do the above

It is identical in this area, we changed the naming in 3.0.1.4.

Well guys

Spent another 2 hours this morning trying to host 2 sites under their own domains (not sub domains or either ) and just end up viewing the last site uploaded no matter which site i enter into the browser.

When i did the perfect server install on centOS5.3 everything that could be copied / pasted from the pdf guide was , no errors install so i can only assume that something that im doing is wrong.

Im usually pretty good at using applications through intuition but i just cant seem to make things roll here so im going to move to a different solution for now because ive wasted almost all the week in the office trying to get this up and running.

Thanks for all your help Till , i'm sure my frustration level is probably no where near yours is having to answer these time consuming questions, i do appreciate your speedy and direct answers to all my questions!

update:-

I refused to be beaten and spent a few hours playing again last night and finally got things working ( kind of ).

A few things to note :-

the uploaded websites would revert to the Centos default website for the server unless the index file for the site was in html format and not htm. I need to know how to fix this without screwing up the ispconfig virtual host handling because i have a feeling it's an apache conf file that needs to be modified to fis this.

I would like to create extra folders in the root of a clients account for /backup ( same place as the /web directory ) but it wont allow me to do this , it did allow it on ispconfig 2 though. Anything i can do to modify this please ?

Time on the server is incorrect , i tried setting the server time ( which worked ) but after a reboot its wrong again ?

thanks
