Hi, I managed to install ISPConfig successfully on Debian 3.1 (using the perfect installation guide by Falko) The problem is that I do not currently have a domain pointing to my server.. so i need to use the IP address to access the software... so i got: Please direct your browser to https://www.xyz.org:81 and log in: Username: admin Password: admin but I cannot access anything with my IP e.g. https://www.123.243.34.34.org:81 How can I access the page using my IP Thanks a lot, Alex
Thanks Naeh, i had used https://123.243.34.34:81 and i still cannot connect (i misspelt the www earlier sorry!) Any ideas?
Hi Till, This is the output of netstat -tap xyz.org is the domain that i do not have yet (not the real one of course) Code: Active Internet connections (servers and established) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name tcp 0 0 localhost.localdo:mysql *:* LISTEN 2 0165/mysqld tcp 0 0 *:www *:* LISTEN 6 289/apache tcp 0 0 *:auth *:* LISTEN 1 756/inetd tcp 0 0 *:81 *:* LISTEN 1 7958/ispconfig_htt tcp 0 0 *:ftp *:* LISTEN 1 8111/proftpd: (acc tcp 0 0 xyz.org:domain *:* LISTEN 1 8098/named tcp 0 0 localhost.locald:domain *:* LISTEN 1 8098/named tcp 0 0 localhost.localdoma:953 *:* LISTEN 1 8098/named tcp 0 0 *:smtp *:* LISTEN 1 8081/master tcp 0 0 *:https *:* LISTEN 1 5586/apache-ssl tcp 0 0 localhost.localdoma:ftp localhost.localdo:32912 TIME_WAIT - tcp 0 0 localhost.localdo:32911 localhost.localdoma:www TIME_WAIT - tcp6 0 0 *:imaps *:* LISTEN 1 7735/couriertcpd tcp6 0 0 *:pop3s *:* LISTEN 1 7652/couriertcpd tcp6 0 0 *:pop3 *:* LISTEN 1 7596/couriertcpd tcp6 0 0 *:imap2 *:* LISTEN 1 7687/couriertcpd tcp6 0 0 *:ssh *:* LISTEN 1 762/sshd tcp6 0 0 ip6-localhost:953 *:* LISTEN 1 8098/named tcp6 0 0 *:smtp *:* LISTEN 1 8081/master tcp6 0 0 xyz.org:ssh athedsl-06868.ote:58691 ESTABLISHED2 7040/sshd: root@no tcp6 0 2816 xyz.org:ssh athedsl-06868.ote:58716 ESTABLISHED2 7082/0 Looks ok? no? but still cannot access the server via IP Alex
also if go to: http://123.243.34.34:81 i get this: but still https://123.243.34.34:81 does not work could it be because I have installed apache1.3 and not apache2? and that i am running both apache and apache-ssl (that is how debian does it)? and if so how do i correct this?
I guess you created an invalid SSL certificate during ISPConfig installation (you should have accepted the default values). What's the error message you get when you use Firefox to connect to https://123.243.34.34:81?
my debian 3.1 installation was just like the recommenced perfect set up except that i used apache 1.3 and there were 2 apache installations one normal and one for ssl (different folders and different http.conf using the apt-get apache-ssl package) and checked the ispconfig installation files and it seemed to have recognized only my normal apache (not the ssl).. i think that is the reason why it did not work.. the error message did not say anything about invalid certificates.. it could not even connect.. my certificates were invalid (not from an authority).. but it should have asked whether i accept to use them no? so now i have uninstalled everything and i will try to create ONE apache installation with one httpd.conf file... Could this be the right way to go?
ISPConfig makes use of its own apache webserver listening to port 81. The websites you are going to create with ISPConfig are published via http port 80. If you try to setup ISPConfig using only 1 apache webserver instead of 2, ISPConfig will not work as it should! I think that FAlko is right, probably something was not going right when you've setup the certificates. Maybe it is also possible that port 81 is blocked within your router/gateway or whatever.
I think you should try to recreate the SSL certificate as shown on http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=121 .
