    Hi everyone.

    New to ISPConfig so forgiveme . I have followed the guide for installing, created a fresh box and installed right from a blank drive.

    Followed this guide (http://www.faqforge.com/category/linux/controlpanels/ispconfig3/)

    All seemed to go very well, no errors or deviations from the guide.

    Got the very final step, of logging into the ispconfig panel and I just get a blank page, no login or anything.

    links / versions etc are from the guide as this was a dry run install to test the software.

    Any ideas ?

    Thanks
    Dan

    Which tutorial did you use? The link above are no ispconfig installation instructions.

    Ok. Do you get any errors in the apache error log file in /var/log/apache2/ ?

    Didn't see anything glaringly obvious..

    here's a tail:

    the page presented at ip:8080 is visually blank and source is just basic
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

    thanks for the (amazingly) speedy replies

    This html page is not from ispconfig. So you must have either acessed the wrong server (e.g. if you used the hostname and that does not point to the IP yet) from your browser or another software is running on port 8080 that delivered this page.

    Try to access the server by IP address if you used the hostname and post the output of the command:

    netstat -tap

    if i goto the IP address of the machine i get the squirrelmail login page, it's only when i goto :8080 do i get that page.

    im suspecting something in my apache config. if i goto :8080 i get the blank page, infact, i can put anything on the :8080 and get the same result. ie
    :8080/index.htm
    :8080/index.php
    :8080/fake

    all redirect me to this mysterious page.

    thanks again

    That looks ok so far. Please try a different port for ispconfig. Edit the file /etc/apache2/sites-available/ispconfig.vhost:

    vi /etc/apache2/sites-available/ispconfig.vhost

    and replace all occurrences of 8080 with e.g. 8888

    Then restart apache with:

    /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

    and try to reach the controlpanel on port 8888

    Hiya,

    Replaced them with 8888 and restarted.

    My blank page has moved to 8888 now, and 8080 gives me page cannot be displayed.

    Good morning,

    Ive just realised that the server/phpmyadmin link is working, which was set up in the /conf.d folder

    Think this would be apache related then?

    Thanks

    On port 8888?

    Is this a stock ISPConfig, or did you modify its sources?

    Could it be a firewall issue?

    I just did an install on a dev server and ran into this issue. Try connecting with https as you can see in
    /etc/apache2/sites-available/ispconfig.vhost

    it has SSL engine on. I could not connect to it on http but as soon as i typed in https i connected fine.
