No domain name for server. What to do? - pip - 10-16-2008 02:30 PM
I currently do not have a domain name pointing to my server but im installing ispcp omega.
Please enter the domain name where ispCP OMEGA will run on [test]: localhost.localdomain
Vhost not valid!
Anyway to run it without domain name?
Thanks.

Either it's a server on the internet - then you can use the hostname which is given by the provider (reverse lookup of the ip address) or it's at home, then you have to find a domainname - if it stays at home, you can take more or less whatever you want.
It's a little bit of work to change all hostname entries afterwards...

or.. simple solution just add at /etc/hosts
[ip address] my.hosting.com
then when it ask for hostname just enter that name. gut luck

Ok... forgive me if I sound like a noob.. but Im still learning.
I have a domain name at my isp lets say http://www.host.co.za
if I ping this domain I get lets say ip 10.10.10.10 which is the correct ip of my box
so far so good. I am seeting it up remotely through putty. my isp's gateway is say 10.10.10.11So questions.. when setting up ispCP
1. domain will be http://www.host.co.za
2. ip will be 10.10.10.10
3 name where ispCP will run is admin.host.co.za??
/etc/hosts will be
127.0.0.0 localhost.localdomain localdomain
10.10.10.10 wor001.prihost.co.za wor001
or must I add
10.10.10.10 http://www.host.co.za
then lastly my resolv.cof file:
nameserver 127.0.0.0
nameserver 10.10.10.11
Is this right?

I do not have a reverse name. Its just simple ip address. I just want to set it up for ip address like i used to for VHCS. Domain name gives to much trouble. I want to provide ispomega for my customers. I sell vds servers and i do not want to spend setup time for each vps. Looking for some solution in my situation.
Thank you guys.
What i want to do is: I want to set up a template which i could install as a virtual private server and customer could just connect to it using ip address like in vhcs : http://ip/vhcs2/ and they are all set..
And as i need domain names it makes it harder and time wasting long to spend time to set up and ask additional questions for each customer.
Thanks for you further answers.

For every customer an own ip address?

Yes. Every customer has its own ip.
Thanks

So.. what do you guys think? possible to set something up if there is no domain.. so based on ip.
Thanks

I think it's a waste of IPs (we are not in the 1990 anymore...) - on the other side maybe this will force ipv6 to be use earlier... :-)
You can work with redirects in the apache configuration.
