How do I get a website running?

[hansoffate]

Hi guys,

I am just trying to run a LAMP Server so I decided to follow the ubuntu perfect 6.10 server setup. ISPConfig installed with no errors. Now, I want to start working with a CMS (drupal). My question is, what do I need to do? Do I need to register another URL. Right now my url is hans.dnsdojo.com which is from dyndns (the one for my ispconfig). What do I do now? Do i need to register another url? Can I get it for free?

How do I configure ISPConfig to make this work? Is there a step by step walkthrough like the ubuntu perfect setup 6.10 server?

IE what do I put under hostname? What do I put under domain? What should I have checked?

After the freshinstall, I have this http://hans.dnsdojo.com/

Thanks for the help
Hans

The next steps are:

1) Create a client in ISPConfig.
2) Create a website hans.dnsdojo.com

3) Follow this howto: http://www.howtoforge.com/drupal_ispconfig to install drupal.

I created a client.

If I wanted 2 different websites running. I have to register 2 domains at dyndns and have the dynamic dns updated right? Do I set this up in ISP Config?

I made 2 different "New Sites".
[Testing]
Hostname = www
Domain = hans.dnsdojo.com

When I go to http://hans.dnsdojo.com it shows the default website.

[Hansoffate]
Hostname = www
Domain = hansoffate.dnsdojo.com

When I go to http://hansoffate.dnsdojo.com it says
"shared Ip
This IP address is shared. For access to the web site which you look for, enter its address instead of its IP.

For questions or problems please contact the server administrator."

What is wrong?

Thanks for the help and sorry for these easy questions,
Hans

I just followed the drupal tutorial for the second time. When I am done with the tutorial I get this when trying to go to the webpage.

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@hans.dnsdojo.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Can I check the a log somewhere to figure out what is wrong?

I think I may be messing up on "Step 9". When I change the mysql stuff, am I supposed to change it to this?
$db_url = 'mysql://web6_u1:THEPASSWORDTHATIMADE@localhost/web6_db1'
OR
$db_url = 'mysql://web6_u1:mysqlpassword@localhost/web6_db1'

Right now I have the first one in the settings.php file.

Thank you for the help

The problem is related to the .htaccess file. Please have a look at the apache error log for a more detailed error message.

Thanks Till. You were right. I accidentally had an extra </IfModule> which made it not work. My website is working!

Can anyone tell me how to make another website run? Everytime I install another site and register the domain at dyndns.org, it comes up with the Shared IP message.


This IP address is shared. For access to the web site which you look for, enter its address instead of its IP.

Also, How do I get the mail server running? It isn't working in drupal. How can I test the mailserver?

Thanks for the help

You must create a new web site in ISPConfig that uses your new domain, and in your browser you must also use this domain, not anything else.
