Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1

Does the domain / hostname exists in DNS?

Plus when I go to the website (not the https) it says that the address is a shared Ip but I am pretty sure I set up the web site correctly in ISPconfig...actually its the only one I have setup.

You have to connect on port 81, not port 80.

I purchased the domain name and pointed it to my web server. I am assuming that is what you meant by your question. I have another box running ispconfig at home and have never had problems with but the one in the office is giving me trouble. I know i need to connect using https to access ispconfig I was just saying that when I try to browse to the website I get the shared IP error. I was not sure if this would help anyone narrow down what my problem was.

What's the output of

ifconfig

? What's in Vhosts_ispconfig.conf?

[teedo757]

Works! I checked the Vhosts_ispconfig.conf file and it had a www in front of my domain which was incorrect. Fix it and BAM everything looks great. Thanks for all the help.

I came across a similar problem which reports error as:

[alert] ispconfig_httpd: Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName

This happened after I upgraded from v2.2.9 to v2.2.12 to find out whether the problem posted here (http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12666) is associated with the formerversion. But the problem in the thread still exists besides a new error popped up! :-(

My Vhosts_ispconfig.conf reads like:

NameVirtualHost 81.216.xxx.yyy:80
<VirtualHost 81.216.xxx.yyy:80>
ServerName localhost
ServerAdmin root@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/sharedip
</VirtualHost>

ServerAdmin webmaster@domain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/web1/web
ServerAlias domain.com www.81.216.xxx.yyy

You mix up different things ispconfig_httpod has nothing to do with the Vhosts_ispconfig.conf file. Also the alert is just a warning that can be ignored, it has no impact on your setup.

Thank you, Till for the info. However, I could create the A records and other CNAME and other records after I deleted all other entries from the DNS manager.

My situation is that I have a static public IP which has been defined as ns1.domain.com in the domain registrar's domain control panel and tried to follow Falko's tutorial with a second nameserver from another host (actually I am the one who handles them, too)

However, when I type the domain.com on the browser it does not point to my server.

And interestingly, after I upgraded from the 2.2.9 to 2.2.12, the page rendered by entering the IP (as the domain.tld does not load) address, gives me an apache2 index page default to centos rather than ISPconfig page.

Looking forward to reply. thanks.

So you want to host records for domain.com on ns1.domain.com? Then you need a glue record: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dns#Cir...d_glue_records

What's the output of

ifconfig

and what's in Vhosts_ispconfig.conf?

Dear Falko:

But how to create a glue record with ISPConfig.

And the output of ifconfig (hosted in the openvz virtual environment) is:

This is not created within ISPConfig. You must ask your domain registrar to create one for you.

You are using the wrong IP address in ISPConfig. You must use the IP address that you see in the ifconfig output (i.e. 192.168.1.204), not 81.216.XXX.YYY.
