shared IP | ISPConfig creates wrong vhost configs

[phor]

Hello there,

I managed to install ISPConfig and am quite impressed by its features. A single problem keeps me away now from chilling down with my ISPConfig installation:

Every new Site creation in ISPConfig ends up with the problem, that all sites opened in a browser are forwarded to the "sharedip" Directory, because of the following entry in /etc/apache2/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf

NameVirtualHost 123.123.123.123:80
<VirtualHost 123.123.123.123:80>
  ServerName localhost
  ServerAdmin root@localhost
  DocumentRoot /var/www/sharedip
</VirtualHost>

If I comment these lines out, all Sites work properly. But with every new creation ISPConfig adds these lines again and I have to remove them manually to keep my sites working.

Now, how can I prevent ISPConfig from creating these lines? I would also be thankful for some workaround...

This enrtry is correct and required. So the question is what you configured wrong in the vhosts, you must connect to the websites with the domain and not with a IP, when your server is behind a router, you must select your internal IP, not the external.

It's a dedicated Server (not behind a router or anything like that)...

I didn't change anything within the "/etc/apache2/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf" (just uncommented some lines out as reported in the mainthread for testing). The original config-file doesn't work!

When I open a Domain, which points on my serverip, like www.example.com in my Browser, I am being referred to the "/var/www/sharedip" folder. (Placed a special index.html within sharedip to ensure that.)

The config file is correct without commenting anything out, it works on thousands of dedicated servers, so its a configuration issue of your domain.

Does the domain www.example.com points with a DNS A-Recoird to your server IP address, the same IP address that you selected in the ISPConfig interface for the domain?

I think it's because ISPConfig forces to use a "Hostname" (e.g. www) which I didn't want to but ISPConfig did automatically.

But I'm now used to it. Additionally I forgot to activate "Administrator" mode in my user configuration, so that my uploaded data was stored in /home/www/webX/user/webX_user/web/ instead of /home/www/webX/web/ ...

Thanks for your help. ISPConfig is nice but has some peculiarities you need to know...
