    I'm trying to install ISPconfig 3 on my VPS running CentOS 7 x64. Followed exact steps from this article: https://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-centos-7-x86_64-nginx-dovecot-ispconfig-3
    Everything goes without problems until I get to a point just after installing the ISPconfig, when I'm supposed to finalize the installation for roundcube by goint go myservername:8081/roundcubemail/installer - I get an error: ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT.
    Same thing happens when trying to access the panel on port 8080. Moreover after running the panel installation I can no longer connect via ssh as root. I can still connect through a generated ssh session credentials (from VPS admin panel).

    Check that there is no firewall on your vps or in front of your vps that blocks port 8080 and 8081.

    I've checked everything, there are no iptables entries, no firewall running.
    However, in on of the threads I found that I should be able to start the ISP config server by running
    /etc/init.d/ispconfig_server start, but there is no such file or directory on my server.

    There is no such script in ispconfig as ispconfig is not a daemon, you mix up ispconfig 2 and 3 here.

    Please use the test script to test your system:

    cat: htf_report.txt gives me 'No such file or directory'

    Did you download and run the testscript first?

    Yes, I copied it exactly from the post.
    In meantime I tried installing another panel and I got the same issue. It seems like it could be a problem with CentOS or my VPS, however it seems a bit weird as every time I did a clean reinstall.

    You should better use a easier Linux distribution like Debian or ubtuntu, centos is not that easy to handle for beginners. Thats why we alwaysrecommend to use Debian and not centos at ispconfig.org.

    Maybe it´s just a firewall-issue.

    Did you enable a firewall on your serfer (afaik ufw is disable on default at 14.04) or is there a firewall in front of your server?

    And the output from netstat shows, that port 8080 is not bound to localhost (only)?
