[SOLVED] Fully qualified hostname vs. domain name where ispCP OMEGA will run - HSorgYves - 03-27-2008 08:25 AM

Good evening,

What is the difference between:
* Please enter the fully qualified hostname
* Please enter the domain name where ispCP OMEGA will run on

Thanks,
Yves

fully qualified hostname:

this is the official Hostname including domain (and top level domain), e.g. host45.mydomain.tld or thishost.thisfarm.thisdomain.com
Normally the PTR record on the (main) IP of the server points to this name - and of cours it must resolve to the IP.

The URL you want to run ispcp (it's not a domain name, it's more an URL), is the URL you want to use for ispcp - eg. admin.host.domain.tld or ispcp.domain.tld or controlpanel.thisdomain.com.
This one must also be resolvabel to the IP - of course.

Don't use just "domain.tld" for either of the two.
