can not login to squirrelmail or ispconfig

I finally got my DNS zone set up where I can get my server on the net.
BUT
I can't login to squirrelmail or ispconfig. I use my server log on ID and my server logon password or my sql password. Nothing works.
What should I be using? Please help.

 

Are you receiving an error message when you try login? Did you check the log files?

 

No error message- just "invalid login"
Where are the log files?
I'll be gone rest of day, till tonight

 

Are there any errors in your mail log (in the /var/log/ directory)?

My "dig" results.
Are they correct or do I still have a DNS problem?

You're using a private IP address in your DNS records which means you can connect only from within your local network.

 

Can you give me an example of how my DNS zones should be assigned for akbpro.com and server1?

 

Just use your public IP address and create an A record for server1.

 

I used this command to get my public IP address.
wget -q -O - checkip.dyndns.org|sed -e 's/.*Current IP Address: //' -e 's/<.*$//'
It returned 68.59.148.130
I set an A record to server1 to 68.59.148.130 where akbpro.com is hosted.
I gave up on Ubuntu 12.04 and re-installed Ubuntu 11.04
When ever I was asked to enter: Country,State,Organization,Department,Name, email address I entered my real data.
I made no changes to resolv.conf or to any bind files

Where do I go from here?

 

Now configure your router to forward all needed ports (e.g. 80 for http, 8080 for ISPConfig) to your ISPConfig server.

 

Thank you,
The port forwarding solved my problem.
