Host config issue

Still trying to get aegir up and running on linode. I'm a newbie to FQDN and virtualhosts, etc.

I have a few domains and I've pointed them successfully at my instance and can get a test htmls in their respective virtualhosts to work fine, so I think the issue involves the FQDN.

My hostname is "amite". I've confirmed that with hostname -f, uname -n, resolveip NAME and resolveip xx.xxx.xx.xxx.

In the hosts file, I put in "xx.xxx.xx.xxx amite.thedevilswife.com amite".

I installed aegar and it picked up amite.thedevilswife.com (derived from a southern expression, nothing cultish :-) ) as the FQDN. Put the login link in var/mail/aegir and so on.

I put the following in amite.thedevilswife.com and enabled it, but service apache2 restart fails (taking the rest of the virtualhosts with it).

# Admin email, Server Name (domain name), and any aliases ServerAdmin webmaster@thedevilswife.com ServerName amite.thedevilswife.com #ServerAlias thedevilswife.com

# Index file and Document Root (where the public files are located) DirectoryIndex index.html index.php DocumentRoot /var/aegir/hostmaster-6.x-1.9

# Log file locations LogLevel warn ErrorLog /var/aegir/log/error.log CustomLog /var/aegir/log/access.log combined

I did create a virtual host for just thedevilswife.com pointed at the same directory and get the normal install screen.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks! Mark

Sorry for the formatting on the file. I'll try some line spacing here.

# Admin email, Server Name (domain name), and any aliases

ServerAdmin webmaster@thedevilswife.com

ServerName amite.thedevilswife.com

#ServerAlias thedevilswife.com

# Index file and Document Root (where the public files are located) DirectoryIndex index.html index.php

DocumentRoot /var/aegir/hostmaster-6.x-1.9

# Log file locations

LogLevel warn

ErrorLog /var/aegir/log/error.log

CustomLog /var/aegir/log/access.log combined

Resolved. Had trouble getting instance to respond to DNS changes, so I started over again with another domain and used the baraccuda script. All joyful now!
