Hi, I'm using ISPConfig 3 on CentOS 5.4. I followed the the "The Perfect Server - CentOS 5.4 x86_64 [ISPConfig 3]" for this 5.4 and I ran into a few issues (had to change the one php file used in the install to CentOS 5.4 as it only listed upto 5.3). I finally got the install to go smoothly and I can access the /webmail and /phpmyadmin but I cannot access the ISPConfig login page on 8080. I don't have any firewalls/iptables running and I can nmap the system from a remote computer and see that there is something listening on 8080. I've checked the /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-ispconfig.vhost file and the port is set to 8080. I also have a problem starting up pure-ftpd but but I'm pretty sure this is un-related and will deal with that after. The output of iptables -L is: Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination fail2ban-ssh tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:ssh Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain fail2ban-ssh (1 references) target prot opt source destination RETURN all -- anywhere anywhere The output of of netstat -tap is: Active Internet connections (servers and established) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name tcp 0 0 localhost.localdomain:10024 *:* LISTEN 5908/amavisd (maste tcp 0 0 localhost.localdomain:10025 *:* LISTEN 5991/master tcp 0 0 *:mysql *:* LISTEN 5836/mysqld tcp 0 0 localhost.local:dyna-access *:* LISTEN 5740/clamd tcp 0 0 virtual.saskjazz.c:webcache *:* LISTEN 6004/httpd tcp 0 0 virtual.saskjazz.com:domain *:* LISTEN 5868/mydns tcp 0 0 ip-97-74-204-165.ip.:domain *:* LISTEN 5868/mydns tcp 0 0 localhost.localdomai:domain *:* LISTEN 5868/mydns tcp 0 0 localhost.localdomain:ipp *:* LISTEN 5718/cupsd tcp 0 0 *:smtp *:* LISTEN 5991/master tcp 0 0 *op3s *:* LISTEN 5939/couriertcpd tcp 0 0 *op3 *:* LISTEN 5933/couriertcpd tcp 0 0 *:imap *:* LISTEN 5920/couriertcpd tcp 0 0 *:http *:* LISTEN 6004/httpd tcp 0 0 localhost6.localdoma:domain *:* LISTEN 5868/mydns tcp 0 0 *:ssh *:* LISTEN 5708/sshd tcp 0 0 *:https *:* LISTEN 6004/httpd tcp 0 0 *:imaps *:* LISTEN 5927/couriertcpd Any help, ideas or suggestsions would be appreciated, I've googled and checked all of the forums and solutions and I'm not having any luck right now. I've also tried downloading /reinstalling ISPConfig. Thanks!
hi, assuming that port 8080 is not blocked by any fw: if your server is (example in order to explain): http://server1.example.com:8080 check DNS resolution of server1.example.com that must point to the ip setup in ispconfig.. and do the following test: browse to: http://IP_setup_into_ISPconfig_during_configuration:8080 in order to bypass "dns" resolution problems.. even if i think it's right since you can access to webmail, phpmayadmin other tests: from a command prompt do a telnet session from a machine to ispconfig server: telnet IP_setup_into_ISPconfig_during_configuration 8080 and see if you can see the curson blinking in the top left (-> ok) or "connection failed" do the same telnet test inside server itself
If I try going to the http://theServerIP:8080, no luck. If I telnet in from a remote machine to either the domain, or theServerIP on 8080 it times out If i telnet locally from the server into either the domain or theServerIP on 8080 I do get the HTML info echoed back. I'm assuming that implies that there is some kind of firewall or something blocking it? It is a virtual server with Godaddy so there is no router/NAT blocking it and I don't think there should be any firewalls on their side. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Assuming they do block port 8080 i should be able to just go in via another port, right? What is the best way to change the listening port?
i think you can easily try to set another port(change the "8080" value) inside your: /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-ispconfig.vhost and restart apache. but you have to ensure tahe the "new" port is opened/reachable and not blocked from outside your ispconfig server and ensure the new port is not already used by other services
