Hostname leads to ispCP, not admin.hostname - DirkHo - 06-29-2010 05:47 AM
Hi,
today I got my server, installed ispCP and have made a mistake, I think.
As hostname I have http://www.example.org (instead of example.org of cource my domain). So, I was asked for the subomain to the ispCP and pressed enter for admin.www.example.org.
But what a pitty, this doesn't work but entering example.org or http://www.example.org in the browser leads me to ispCP. Can I change this by reconfiguring anyway?
Another question: I used root for mysql-user. I think this was not that clever, so I would like to add a new user and use this one for mysql. Which permissions does he have to have? Or do I need a "root"-user for ispCP?
Thanks and best regards,
Dirk

as long as you don't have a "customer" example.org configured on the server - ispcp will answer the requests to this domain...
ispcp needs a mysql user with mysql root privilages - but it doesn't have to be "root".
Create one and use the change paswd howto in the doku (there is also a note how to change the name of the user).

Hi joximu,
thanks for your answer! I did the fault first to add a reseller and to this reseller I added a user - with the domain dirk.example.org. But this "temporary" subdomain didn't work (is there no possibility to give an account a subdomain of my "main" domain?).
Now I deleted my user and added it new with the domain example.org, now, I get the default page and what a pitty, when I try to login as admin on the isp-control, I can't - the page is not loaded typing admin.example.org or admin.www.example.org - hopefully this is because of the proxy at work.
Is there a possibility to change the domain to the ispCP on the Shell?
I will create a new database user with root privileges but other name. Thanks for that information!
Thanks and best regards,
Dirk

There's a faq or howto how to change the fqdn.
You also can change the main ispcp url - in /etc/ispcp/ispcp.conf - and in the apache config (00_master.conf)
It should be possible to use only subdomains to a certain domain (dirk.example.com) - as long as you do not use the main domain in ispcp (you can put it in an include file - but no mails (@example.com) will be managebale with ispcp...).
You always should be able to reach ispcp with the server ip as URL....

Hi joximu,
you are simply the best! I was able to get into ispCP with the IP. Now I tried webmailer (new email, send, receive), phpmyadmin (new db,..), FTP (edit file(s),..).
Everything works great (I didn't receive the answer to my send email yet, even if I sent one with my business address), but I'll see at home. I have to look where the logfiles are.
Changing the FQDN I have to search for the FAQ at home and I think, I can change the FQDN.
I'm soooo glad that everything works so good until now (excepting smaller problems like the above)! I'm not a Linux pro and also not a ispCP pro, so I'm just glad!
Thanks a lot and best regards,
Dirk

Hi again,
I changed /etc/hostname, /etc/hosts, /etc/my.hosts and /etc/mailname from
80.80.80.80 http://www.example.org to 80.80.80.80 example.org so that I hoped my admin.example.org would work to reach ispCP that way - but it didn't.
Do I have to enter the admin.example.org in any of the above files?
Thanks and best regards,
Dirk

remember:
an FQHostname is not only a domain - and also is not supposed to be the same as an URL-Hostname.
so - be creative and give your server a name - eg. bobby, then the fqdn is bobby.example.org
the reverse lookup for the server ip should also be bobby.example.org
the other thing is the url you want to use for ispcp - especially the "temp" url for customers: vu20xx.admin.example.org - if admin.example.org is the ispcp-url....
Clear?
