Hi ALL,
respect 4 the project!
I start to configure ispcp after digit:
perl ./ispcp-setup:
Please enter a fully qualified hostname [mydomain.eu]:
here I've input my dns
and I've recived:
The hostname is not a valid domain name!
but sure is pingable, if I input onto browser my dns I receive:
It works!
suggestion?

fully qualified domain name == minimum three levels (hostname.domain.ltd).

To the first thing about names:

we had it *really often* here that people give a domain name to their servers... instead of a hostname which - together with the domain - makes the FQDN (or FQHN)...

Maybe it's because people name their friends "Smith" even if his name is "John Smith"... I don't know....

Servername (FQDN/FQHN) = Hostname + Domain + TLD....


And to the MySQL problem: try connecting to mysql with the given credentials....

1st: you should give the server a name - eg. "john" or "server1" or "srv01abc" - whatever name you like (only a..z). Together with the domain name this is the Full-Qualified-Host-Name
eg. "john.domain.tld".

2nd: during ispcp setup you give this FQHN name when asked. And later you have to enter the URL you wish, the adminpanel should be available - there the default is "admin."+FQHN - admin.john.domain.tld - this you can change and enter maybe "admin.domain.tld"... (of course the DNS entry for this have to exist... also for the FQHN!)

So the FQHN is *only* used for internal (shell etc) - you never are forced to tell this name to anyone...

man hostname

cat /etc/hostname
cat /etc/hosts
