Problem with homepage / index

We're evaluating ispcp for possible use in our organization and have a problem we'd like some help with.

We're running Ubuntu 8.10 with ispcp stable. The installation went fine, with no errors. Everything is running perfectly. However, when we add a domain, no matter what content is uploaded to domain/htdocs, we are only seeing the ispcp login page.

Is there a quick and easy explanation for this?

Check the generated apache config and confirm that you're connecting using a correct hostname/ip combination. It may also help if you can tell us:

1. Which IP did you specify during installation?
2. Is the domain real and the nameservers setup to this server?
3. Are you behind a NAT router and trying to connect from outside?

I think this will cover most possible problems....

1. During install I specified the internal IP of the host.
2. Yes, and I get good resolution for the domain to the DNS servers. It resolved to the IP I assigned it in the control panel just fine.
3. I am behind a NAT layer and connecting from outside.

I just took a look at the conf file in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled and it looks pretty much like i'd expect it to, although the VirtualHost directive is pointing to the WAN IP, which I suspect may be causing issues with the nature of setup IP/NAT.

Ispcp is not supported under a NAT setup, because this would require serving different IP's as DNS (external ones) than those used in apache's configuration (internal ip's). Thus, I'm afraid that your only options are:

1. Perform the testing from the local LAN only (and setting everything to internal IP's). If you go production on non-NAT'ed boxes, there should be no problems.
2. Create an IP replacement script that changes all the external ip occurrencies by internal ones in the /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ispcp.conf file. Thereafter, make it run before (re)starting the server (modify /etc/init.d/apache2), and your problems should be gone.

There's nothing in the world that could convince me to put this box facing the wan, so I'll go the script route. Thanks for your input.
