Testing ISP Config locally

[Sareno]

Hi,

I finished the Debian Squeeze perfect setup yesterday and all went perfect. I even typed every command by hand just to understand it.

But now I want to test it locally because I do not have external domains yet and I just want to play, learn and understand.

That does not work, I will explain.

Server:
Debian 6, perfect setup ISPC3
IP 192.168.1.100 fixed
Hostname Serveerster.thuis.nl


Other computers are all in the 192.168.1.x range

For some reason the other computers can not find the hostname:

Pinging:
to 192.168.1.100 works
to Serveerster.thuis.nl does not work

Even when I enter 192.168.1.100 as a DNS server on other pc's it still does not work.

What am I doing wrong to get this locally to work?

My goal is to recreate a mini internet at home with all sorts of domains and services for testing purposes.

For starters, the following domains should be routed internally and not be looked for at the Internet:

www.sareno.nl
ww.dog.nl
www.cat.nl
www.test.nl
www.thuis.nl

How to set it up and use these domains locally through ISPConfig 3?

Thanks

First error found:

While installing I pointed the system to 192.168.1.1 for the gateway.

For some reason ISPConfig made its own choice?:

Gateway 192.168.0.1
Nameservers 192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.2

Is this a flaw?

[Sareno]

I've added a few lines to the hosts file on my other machines and that part seems solved but it was not how I thought it should be possible.

Question about that Gateway and NS still stands. Could it be possible that ISP Config did not take all the settings right?

Also FTP does not work. Sometimes, but not always, FTP accepts a connection. It never accepts the passwords.

Active and Passive.

strange.


Edit: While booting I see the messages:

Not starting internet superserver: no services enabled

&

Jailkit; nothing to do

Also an error about Mysql but I can't find it anymore.

Does anyone know what is going on?

[Sareno]

Maybe worth mentioning that Debian in running Virtual within Virtualbox, host Win7?

Do you see any FTP-related errors in your logs?

Does the server have a working Internet connection? Does

ping -c4 google.com

work?

[Sareno]

Hi Falko,

What logs do you refer to?

While booting I have the error mentioned above: Superserver not starting.

I am not at home now and the server is down so I cannot check internet but the server can get the repositories and updates.

Other computers can reach ftp.cat.com via 192.168.1.100. User is OK but password is not accepted.

Question about that Gateway and NS still stands. Could it be possible that ISP Config did not take all the settings right?

This data has to be set by the administrator in the ispconfig interface.The values that you see there are just examples and not used on your servera s networking is disabled by default on ispconfig systems. There is no need to change anything there as the network configuration is done directly in the debian files if you followed the perfect setup guide, the values from the network settings in ispconfig are not used.

Regarding the FTP issue, enable verbose logging in FTP and check the syslog for errors then. The detailed steps are described in the ISPConfig FAQ.

Ok, I will stick to /etc/network/interfaces. those are right.

It seems that internet is working fine:

sander@Serveerster:~$ ping -c4 google.com

I will now try to look for the FTP logs. It seems that PureFTP cannot find the password in Mysql. How can I see if FTP and Mysql are setup fine?

Edit: very long ping times by the way! :-(
