Hello Till,

 I found this to be a very good how to guide for setting up a multi-server environment.  Most everything went well with the setup, but now I'm to the end and I am having difficulty in setting up DNS records for the servers.

 Website setups are not problem it's with the master servers.  Say my server names are web.myserver.com (1.2.3.4), mail.myserver.com (1.2.3.5), db.myserver.com (1.2.3.6), and I also created a git.myserver.com (1.2.3.7).

 Instead of accessing my web server like https://1.2.3.4:8080, I want to access it this way https://web.myserver.com:8080.

 For the mail server, I would like to know how my users could access their webmail by https://mail.myserver.com.

 I suppose that my system could access my database server via db.myserver.com.  How should I setup the DNS records to make this happen?

Last, I would like to be able to access my git server via SSH like git.myserver.com.  How would I setup this DNS record?

I have spent a significant amount of time reading many of the howto guides, and none that I have found make this clear...  I purchased and read the ISPConfig3 guide, and I'm still not clear on how to make this happen.

If you could please help answer these questions, I would appreciate it!

Regards,

 Darin

create a Cname: web.myserverz.com

then a subdomain in ISPconfig.

to :

web 

https://web.myserver.com:8080.

R flag 

same for mail..

 but remember to add the alias in the mail config.

Hi Till,

 i was just installing this on a new server. 

It seems that dovecot-mysql is missing fram the package list on page 2. This is needed if you want to use dovecot to communicate with mysql. 

 Else these errors appear:

 dovecot: auth: Fatal: Unknown database driver 'mysql'

 

 Thanks. Cheers.

Hello. I have followed this tutorial, but with three servers. I was trying to consolidate some services. I have the web.example.com - master as in tutorial, dbns1.example.com - database and NS1 host, and emailns2.example.com - email server and NS2. I tried to follow the tutorial as is also on the ISPConfig Manual, when it comes to the dbns1 and emailns2, its just that I have chosen to also configure DNS when running the ISPConfig installer.

Under system>server services I have the following selectios

web.example.com : web server, file server

dbns1.example.com : db server,  dns server

emailns2.example.com : mail server, dns server

Now everything seems to be running well, but maybe I am undermining the problem, when I create a new client, new website, add a email domain everything seems to be Ok, but when I add an actual Email Mailbox, the dropdown to choose a server is empty, and won't allow me to type anything, and if I proceed and save the mailbox, it allows me to.

 And then when I click on the Icon to go to the webmail, I get a page with the error below:

No E-Mail - Server found!

 What does this imply, what went wrong, why does it say no email server found?

Thank you for the great tutorial
