Hostname and login to admin after fresh install

I installed VestaCP on a server and i used hostname: somename.mysite.com (the domain is mine, but is on another server).
After a fresh install of VestaCP i receive an error:
"error: apache2 start failed" because of "Failed to start LSB: Apache2 web server."
I added in apache2.conf ServerName = localhost , restarted apache but still Vesta admin url is not loading.

If i add at registrar a nameserver somename.mysite.com pointing to server IP i will be able to login or what can be the problem?

I have solved the apache issue by having the same hostname in these 2 files: /etc/hostname /etc/hosts
Code: Select all
root@hostname5:/home/user1# systemctl status vesta.service
vesta.service - LSB: starts the vesta control panel
Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/vesta; bad; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Mon 2018-01-29 07:50:25 EET; 54s ago
Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8)
Process: 2071 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/vesta start (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
Jan 29 07:50:25 hostname5.mysite.com systemd[1]: Starting LSB: starts the vesta control panel...
Jan 29 07:50:25 hostname5.mysite.com vesta[2071]: * Starting vesta-nginx vesta-nginx
Jan 29 07:50:25 hostname5.mysite.com vesta[2071]: nginx: [emerg] getpwnam("admin") failed in /usr/local/vesta/nginx/conf/nginx.conf:1
Jan 29 07:50:25 hostname5.mysite.com systemd[1]: vesta.service: Control process exited, code=exited status=1

Jan 29 07:50:25 hostname5.mysite.com systemd[1]: vesta.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
But still service vesta restart doesn't work, is weird that i see a Nginx error and i did not installed Nginx. I installed via VestaCP generator Apache + Php + Mysql (without Nginx and Clamav)
Code: Select all
nginx: [emerg] getpwnam("admin") failed in /usr/local/vesta/nginx/conf/nginx.conf:1

please try to install it with apache2 and nginx. or is there a special reason you do not want to have caching?

I wanted to keep it simple, to avoid errors :)
Can i install Nginx only / or reinstall Vesta without fresh Ubuntu reload?

You will have no problems using Nginx + Apache
Go ahead

I reinstalled fresh Ubuntu 16 and VestaCP with apache + nginx
I receive the same error
Code: Select all
root@hostname5:/etc# service vesta restart
Job for vesta.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status vesta.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
root@hostname5:/etc# systemctl status vesta.service

root@hostname5:/etc#
Should i do something with hostname5.mysite.com ? Is pointed to server IP ar registrar level.

Did something went wonky with your installation? Can you check to see if you have a user called "admin"? Because this line in your error is saying that it cannot assume that user: nginx: [emerg] getpwnam("admin") failed in /usr/local/vesta/nginx/conf/nginx.conf:1
