ISPCONFIG 3 + Debian Lenny = 403 error?

Hi guys,

I have spent a whole day searching for a solution. I found another thread who has the similar problem as me, and end up he said using ispconfig2 solved his problem.

I have followed the guide step by step have everything working. However, I couldn't get the admin page up using

http://hostname:8080 or http://ipaddress:8080

it said 403 permission error.

I checked the apache error.log, it doesn't show much. other than


[Wed Feb 02 15:01:28 2011] [error] [client 58.96.0.225] (13)Permission denied: access to / denied
[Wed Feb 02 15:01:28 2011] [error] [client 58.96.0.225] (13)Permission denied: access to /favicon.ico denied


one thing i notice is the symbiotic link to the /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/web is 750

not sure if that is related.

Can someone point me to the right direction please?

I have tired uninstall and re-install still no go.

 

Code:

debian:~# ls -la /var/www
total 1734348
drwxr-xr-x 22 root    root          4096 Feb  1 23:09 .
drwxr-xr-x 17 root    root          4096 Feb  2 14:59 ..
drwxr-xr-x  2 ispapps ispapps       4096 Feb  1 23:08 apps
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root    root            34 Feb  1 23:09 ispconfig -> /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/web

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root    root            24 Feb  1 23:00 webmail -> /usr/share/squirrelmail/

 

apart from installing the debian (i was using etch and then i preform an update to lenny), all the packages installation were followed by the guide.

nothing missed.

everything else seem to work fine. only the ispconfig part is not working.

i can see the cronjob working as well, mysql has the ispconfig database.

Did you have installed something like selinux or apparmor ?
In your etch installation, did you use apache and modify its configuration ?
http://hostname is working ?
ls -l /usr/local ?
did you activate the different module of apache ? (a2enmod ... in the doc)

Regards.

 

I didn't install selinux or apparmor.
I did modify the apache configuration before by myself.
http://hostname is working.

I did activate the modules listed in the doc.

 

So, this is the only thing I see where the problem could be.
