I'm not sure ISPConfig installation works if no hostname and domain name is configured. You could invent some bogus FQDN and try installation again. Check the IP-number you used is the correct one. Check what IP-number the host uses. Maybe you made a mistake during installation? You do not say what Guide you used, but try again and be careful at each step.
Thanks for your help, i used this instrucion: https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial...n-8-jessie-apache-bind-dovecot-ispconfig-3/3/ the VPS i used had a fresh debian8, and Domain name was not configured, nothing was configured and i just followed the instruction i mentioned. all the instructions has done but not FCGI because it's replaced in apache2.4 with something else.
id didn't skipped, apache is working fine, if you read the first post the installation is complately done. the webmail is working too.
solved, i figured it. if anybody have this problem do this steps: 1- Uninstall ispconfig 2- Install it with another port like :7654 3- Do not use SSL Good luck
Glad you got your system working (mostly), but for anyone else reading this, step 3 "do not use ssl" may be bad advice, you certainly don't want to access your control panel over the internet in plain text. (I didn't even know the installer supported non-SSL installations ... or maybe you didn't follow the Perfect Server guide on some of your setup.)
ispconfig works fine with port 8080 and ssl. either your ssl-cert failed or you are blocking port 8080 in the firewall.
I agree to @florian030 and @Jesse Norell: Always use SSL and in your case, port 8080 was probably blocked by a firewall or claimed as port by your router and that's why it failed for you to use that port.
Thank you for your help, I dont have a SSL Certificate, I am just testing to learn and use ISPconfig in future. I don't think without a SSL Certificate can i run my server in https, is that correct?
the installer asks if you want https or not. if you choose no, you can not use https://IP:8080 if you did not create a cert during the installation, there are no ssl-seetings written to config and you can use http://IP:8080
It means i do not need to buy a SSL certificate from some where in the internet? can i have https without paying something and just config it in the installation of ISPconfig?
Yes. https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/securing-ispconfig-3-with-a-free-lets-encrypt-ssl-certificate/
