Hello, i followed the steps from ISPC and finished the installation with the standalone way (not expert). At the end i got this lines: Code: Configuring Apps vhost Configuring DBServer Installing ISPConfig crontab no crontab for root Detect IP addresses Restarting services ... Job for apache2.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status apache2.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details. Installation completed. Now i open myip:8080 and i get the default page insted of ISPC login apge I found any small article where told me to copy the 000-default.conf to virtual.isp3.conf and then: Code: <VirtualHost *:8080> # ServerName example.tld # ServerAlias www.example.tld *.example.tld DocumentRoot /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/web </VirtualHost> I restartet apache but it not solved the Problem.So i need a way to get ISPC instead of debian default page I hope any cna help me =(
That's completely wrong, please undo that. Then restart apache2 service and then run: journalctl -xe and post the output to see why your Apache server does not start. Also, you did not mention which operating system you use.
huh? I dont said it doesnt start. I said i got the wrong page. Debian default site instead of ISPConfig. And my system is Debian 11.

From your post: Code: Job for apache2.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status apache2.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details. So you indeed posted that Apache did not start after ISPConfig installation. Which means you must have done other things in your setup to make it start again and that probably caused ISPConfig UI to not show up now. What exactly did you do after Apache failed to start?
Additionally, installing a server on Debian 11, which reaches its end of life in half a year, makes no sense at all. Use Debian 12 instead.
yes okay, that was the log of installation to show the installation was done. The error why apache has not started after the installation was an SSL issue i fixet it already. But as i said, i dont get the ISPConfig login page i got debian default and would be very happy if we can fix it i want cancle my old root server before next month is running =( Seee it: 37.157.255.181:8080 Im open for discord (can do screenshare for faster solve the problem), add me: paykomanvll
How exactly did you fix that? Was the server empty before you installed ISPConfig? Run the test script from read before posting and post the result: https://forum.howtoforge.com/threads/please-read-before-posting.58408/ Post the output of the command: ls -la /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/
i installed/enbaled SSL, so it was it fixed and apache was running. LOG Code: root@vps2613609:~# ls -la /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ total 8 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 27 16:49 . drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 Dec 27 09:28 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 Dec 27 10:25 000-apps.vhost -> /etc/apache2/sites-available/apps.vhost lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Dec 27 09:28 000-default.conf -> ../sites-available/000-default.conf lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 43 Dec 27 10:21 000-ispconfig.conf -> /etc/apache2/sites-available/ispconfig.conf lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 44 Dec 27 10:25 000-ispconfig.vhost -> /etc/apache2/sites-available/ispconfig.vhost lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 Dec 27 10:21 999-acme.conf -> /etc/apache2/sites-available/acme.conf Yes it was a clean server and i just followed ISPC instructions and installed only the requirements. I think its just a problem of the configs that apache default pache is visible and not ISPC.
I asked how exactly. There are ways to do it wrong, which can lead to your problem. Then I asked you to post the result of the test script, which you did not do.
i did with # sudo a2enmod ssl And then restarted apache and was running. I think not its our problem, i use https and i get the debian default page, the question is why default page and not ISPC.

Ok, so mod_ssl was not enabled. This is done by the auto-installer, but maybe you had Apache already installed so the system was not empty. Most likely, other modules are not enabled then as well, so you should try enabling them: Code: a2enmod suexec rewrite ssl actions include dav_fs dav auth_digest cgi headers actions proxy_fcgi alias Then restart apache2. Regarding the test script output, there seem to be a lot of services missing or not running, no web and no ftp services. Or you did not run the test script as root.
It`s new system, i just installed stuff i get displayed, like php etc. I hoped its all included in a managment software installation, so yes i installed no services only what i get displayed as requeriments. A tutorial like "how to prepare your server" was better instead of installation directly xD Okay i did your steps here the output: Code: ##### SERVER ##### IP-address (as per hostname): ***.***.***.*** [WARN] could not determine server's ip address by ifconfig [INFO] OS version is Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye) [INFO] uptime: 21:31:59 up 26 days, 5:43, 2 users, load average: 0.29, 0.09, 0.03 [INFO] memory: total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 3.8Gi 211Mi 1.0Gi 5.0Mi 2.6Gi 3.3Gi Swap: 0B 0B 0B [INFO] systemd failed services status: UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB DESCRIPTION 0 loaded units listed.

You do not install anything manually when you install ISPConfig, you run a single command on a completely empty system, only ssh might be installed. So you installed php and other things, ok, this must fail then. Which tutorial did you use that instructed you to install other things, please post the link.
You mean we shall post an empty page, or how shall a guide look like that is not needed? You shall explicitly NOT prepare anything. All you shall do is as listed in the installation tutorial: https://www.howtoforge.com/ispconfig-autoinstall-debian-ubuntu/ as you can see, there is nothing that you shall do except ensure that the base system is up to date, that you are logged in as root user and that you have a correct hostname. My guess is, you asked an AI, that AI told you complete nonsense and you followed that instead of using the official installation guides. Format your server, ensure that you just have SSH installed and then follow the installation tutorial: https://www.howtoforge.com/ispconfig-autoinstall-debian-ubuntu/
Ohh i selected Debian 13 OMG the auto install worked fine, it seems done now. I try to move the first Website then i will see how it works. Thank you so much, very great !
Debian 13 isn't supported yet! A beta version of ispconfig that does support Debian 13 has just been released. Official supported release will still be a while.
