Hello! I hope somebody can help me... Well... I follow your "The Perfect Setup - Ubuntu Feisty Fawn (Ubuntu 7.04)", and I use something like: host: server domain: myname.com After installing ISPconfig I give the same information and at the end of the installation it says I can access my ISPconfig accessing: http://server.myname.com:81 But when I tri to access it from a web browser it doesn't work... Locally I only can access it pointing to the internal IP (192.168.0.100:81) and I ask a friend to try the address http://server.myname.com:81 and it don't work... He only can access my ISPconfig when write in the url: 00.000.00.00:81 where de 00.000.00.00 it's my external IP address... How can I do to make the http://server.myname.com:81 available? Thanks in advance
Please make sure that server.myname.com is a officially registered domain name and has a DNS A-Record that points to your external IP address.
I have similar problem to r00kie - I kept getting: The URL is not reachable! when I tried to put in my domain name and hostname at the end of ISPConfig install so I followed Till's Howto and left the hostname blank and put my servers static IP into the domain name: Please enter the host name (e.g. www):www.xxxxxxxxx.com Please enter the domain (e.g. xyz.de):xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx The URL is not reachable! Please enter the host name (e.g. www): Please enter the domain (e.g. xyz.de):xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx The URL is not reachable!

You can use any FQDN that points to your server now in your browser. BTW, did you encrypt the keys during Apache compilation? You shouldn't do so, as explained here: http://www.ispconfig.org/manual_installation.htm You can re-create the certs as shown here: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=121
