Hello,
in case You are newbie in Vesta control panel this may help you to setup it for website hosting.
After Ubuntu VPS was setup and i had its IP at hand, i registered a domain that i want to host on the VPS, i registered two new nameservers in domain registar control panel. (ns1 -> myvpsIP, ns2 -> myvpsIP). Then i set my domain's nameservers to these newly registered (ns1.mydomain.com, ns2.mydomain.com) I logged into my Ubuntu VPS via SSH (used SSH client called Putty), and executed installation command mentioned on Vesta website:
curl -O http://vestacp.com/pub/vst-install.sh;bash vst-install.sh
it complained that apache2 is installed, so i removed it: apt-get clean;apt-get update -y;apt-get install curl -y;apt-get purge apache2*;
and retried installation, then i was prompted to enter hostname, so i entered custom one: host.mydomain.com
but setup was interrupted after a while with errors:
AH00557: apache2: apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed for host.mydomain.com
Error: apache2 start failed
I fixed it by editing /etc/hosts file and replacing:
vpsiphere qydtwqop.host.name qydtwqop
by:
vpsiphere host.mydomain.com host
restarted networking and apache2:
/etc/init.d/networking restart;/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
apache restarted OK this time, so i retry installation:
bash vst-install.sh --force
it finished and i logged in Vesta on https://host.mydomain.com:8083
There i added new Web (mydomain.com) and in DNS section of this domain i added two A records with name "ns1" and "ns2" and IP set to my vesta server IP address.
I checked DNS at http://intodns.com it looked OK
Now i could edit my Web settings and enable new FTP to upload website files.
