domain stuff aggrivating the hell out of me

[lordpsyan]

my domain. samccstudios.com

I have now installed kubuntu 3 times, from scratch. set hostname as samccstudios.com the first 2 times, and samccstudios the third.

This is the **** Plesk gives me, and it keeps me from logging into plesk

first time I could log in. I would type www.samccstudios.com:8443
it would lookup localhost.localdomain:8443
couldn't connect on any other computer but locally.

second time (and I removed this from about 600 places, mostly config files)
it gave me samccstudios.com.com

third time, to remove one of the .com's I just put samccstudios as host name.

then I got samccstudios.sw.biz.rr.com

now why the hell won't it just give samccstudios.com?

I just want to be able to remove the monitor, keyboard and mouse from the server and do everything remotely. I would LOVE to start paying for the 100 domain license, but I am not getting anywhere. I had it running perfectly under centos5, but centos is a horrible OS (nopt as bad as the real redhat tho) and I wanted to keep debian, but thats another story. I want this to work. there is insufficient help online for these problems, and emailing tech support takes weeks to get a reply.

please, someone tell me how to define the fgdn, instead of letting it pick and choose for itself.

Dunno about anything else, but in order to login to Plesk you need to use HTTPS. So https://samccstudios.com:8443 should work.

In my system also http://mydomain.com:8443 goes to localhost.hostname:8443. Dunno how to fix it thought...

Check /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/httpsd.conf (might also be /opt/psa/admin/conf depending on the version installed).

There should be a line in the <VirtualHost *:8443> that reads

ErrorDocument 400 https://localhost.localdomain:8443

Update that line to what you want your requests to http:// on port 8443 to redirect to. That should fix your problems.
