Can't get Ispcontrol login screen

    After several attempts, I seem to have got a clean install of ISPControl - at least the installer said it was ok!

    However, when I try to access the login screen using http(s)://domain.name:81 all I get is the "cannot find server or DNS error".

    If I use http://domain.name I get the Fedora / Apache test page.

    Do I conclude that my install didn't go correctly after all, or is there another problem?

    Please post the output of
    Code:
    dig any domain.name
    , of
    Code:
    netstat -tap
    , of
    Code:
    iptables -L
    and the content of /etc/resolv.conf. Also, is the correct URL in /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/lib/config.inc.php?

    What config.inc.php?

    Could this be the problem?

    [root@server1 /]# ls -la /home/admispconfig/ispconfig
    total 16
    drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Dec 23 21:14 .

    The output of dig and iptables is ok, but netstat shows that ISPConfig isn't running. Together with your previous post:

    which shows that a lot of directories are missing I'd say your ISPConfig installation is messed up.

    I'd recommend to delete /root/ispconfig and /home/admispconfig:
    Code:
    rm -fr /root/ispconfig
    rm -fr /home/admispconfig
    and also the ISPConfig database if it exists, then read through the installation instructions:
    http://www.ispconfig.org/manual_installation.htm
    and maybe one of the "Perfect Setup" howtos on HowtoForge (the one appropriate for your distribution - http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_fedora_core_4 for Fedora Core 4 and http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_fedora_core_3 for Fedora Core 3) and try to install ISPConfig again.

    Start again?

    I followed the perfect setup for FC3.
    Should I scrub it and start again?
    Where is the database?

    No, just try to install ISPConfig again.
    It's in MySQL. You can either use phpMyAdmin to delete it (if phpMyAdmin is installed), or do it on the command line:
    Code:
    mysql -u root -p
    DROP DATABASE <name_of_ISPConfig_database>;
    quit;
