Installation and integration

[cbox]

Hi,

I'm trying to install and configure ipmanager, billmanager, dnsmanager and ispmanager for our shared hosting services.
Plans are to use dsmanager later on if things works as intended.

I do have some trouble getting it all to work, but hopefully someone can help me with this. Basicly i have troubles understanding the architecture of the products, and i find the documentation to be very poor.

1. which products should be installed on seperat servers, and which products can be shared? I can imagen that ispmanager should be on a seperat server, but can ipmanager, billmanager and dnsmanager be installed on one server, and

2. in which order should i install and configure the services?

3. How can i make ipmanager work? I have issues configuring it, and the documentation has not been able to help me do it. I have a few single ip adresses and a few subnets, but no class-c networks.

4. in ipmanager i need to point each subnet to a existing reverse dns file. Is this a file i should create in a normal bind installation, in a dnsmanager installation or how should this be configured?

5. In DNSmanager i need to type in a DNS namespace. What are this and what should i type in?

Best regards

Hi Sylvester,

ISPmanager and DNSmanager shouldn't be installed on one server. There are not any other limits.



2. in which order should i install and configure the services?


No matter in what order you are planning to install and configure the services. You can do it as you like.


3. How can i make ipmanager work? I have issues configuring it, and the documentation has not been able to help me do it. I have a few single ip adresses and a few subnets, but no class-c networks.


You should create class-c networks for existing IP. Then when you assign the access to IP-addresses for separate users, you should denote only IP-addresses that you have.


4. in ipmanager i need to point each subnet to a existing reverse dns file. Is this a file i should create in a normal bind installation, in a dnsmanager installation or how should this be configured?


You should create the reverse dns file manually.


5. In DNSmanager i need to type in a DNS namespace. What are this and what should i type in?


You can type any name.
