I am still having problems reaching the login screen. ISPConfig is up and running. I have two static IP's, eth0 is 68.149.224.197 and eth1 is 68.149.224.198. eth0 is configured for www.hostesp1.com and eth1 is configured for mail.hostesp1.com. I can ping both IP's from the server, but can only reach eth1 from any other machine (occasionlly) - on or off the network. These are the results of trying to connect to the ispconfig login screen; https://www.hostesp1.com:81...........Server not found http://www.hostesp1.com:81...........Server not found https://www.hostesp1.com...........Server not found http://www.hostesp1.com...........Server not found https://68.149.224.197:81/.........Unable to connect http://68.149.224.197:81/.........Unable to connect https://68.149.224.197/............Unable to connect https://68.149.224.197/............The connection was reset https://68.149.224.198:81/........Unable to connect http://68.149.224.198:81/..........Unable to connect https://68.149.224.198/.............Unable to connect http://68.149.224.198/.............The connection was reset Intermittently (????) I can reach eth1 68.149.224.198 and sometimes I will get the Apache page, and sometimes I get an Apache error page about using https instead of http.

Thank you very much Brian
Did you fix your network settings as described here? http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1581&page=3
Yes...I edited the files you mentioned. I have no problems with connecting out to other machines, it is just incoming traffic that seems to be blocked. Brian
After rechecking the configuration files I can ping 68.149.224.198 Http://68.149.224.198 which defaults to http://68.149.224.198/apache2-default/ Also, the output of 'dig any hostesp1.com' is not the same when I run it on my SuSE machine. This is the output from the server; ; <<>> DiG 9.2.4 <<>> any hostesp1.com ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 50934 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;hostesp1.com.

I hope this helps. Brian
This is what I get: so the output of your server seems to be wrong. What's in /etc/resolv.conf on the server?
The output of /etc/resolv.conf search ed.shawcable.net nameserver 68.59.184.13 nameserver 68.59.184.15 nameserver ns1.hostesp1.com nameserver ns2.hostesp1.com nameserver ns3.hostesp1.com nameserver ns4.hostesp1.com nameserver ns5.hostesp1.com nameserver ns6.hostesp1.com
68.59.184.13 and 68.59.184.15 don't seem to work as name servers because this is the result I got when I did a dig on google.com: It would be good if you changed your /etc/resolv.conf to something like this: Code: search ed.shawcable.net nameserver 145.253.2.75 nameserver 193.174.32.18
I made the changes you suggested. Do I not need the ns1 - ns6 nameservers for my own DNS server? Thank you very much for your help...I really appreciate it! Brian
No, you don't need them. You can put in any name server that is known to work. These name servers will then be queried by your system, and they pass on the queries to the authoritative name servers. So if your name servers are authoritative for a domain, they will be queried for that domain, even if you have different name servers in /etc/resolv.conf.
It seems that I am back at square one. I can not reach the ispconfig interface. The only way I can access the server is by using the IP address configured for mail.hostesp1.com. http://68.149.224.198 which takes me to the Apache default page. Any suggestions? Brian
And what did you get if you put this in the browser: http://68.149.224.198:81/ or if you chose ssl encryption: https://68.149.224.198:81/ Please try to use firefox as browser. Firefox has better error messages in case the SSL certificates are broken.
The following results using Firefox. http://68.149.224.198:81/ Bad Request Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. Reason: You're speaking plain HTTP to an SSL-enabled server port. Instead use the HTTPS scheme to access this URL, please.

You must re-create the SSL certificate, as described in this thread: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=121
I recreated the ssl and restarted the ispconfig server. The system says that ISPConfig system is up and running. When I try to log into https://68.149.224.198:81/ I get; Unable to connect Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 68.149.224.198:81. * The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. * If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection. * If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web. When I try https://www.hostesp1.com:81/ I get; Server not found Firefox can't find the server at www.hostesp1.com. * Check the address for typing errors such as ww.example.com instead of www.example.com * If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection. * If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
From all the posts you made I get the impression that your server is really messed up. I suggest you try to re-install it and follow the appropriate tutorial on HowtoForge to the letter (except where you have to provide custom information like host name, IP address, etc.).
I will try the whole process again...thank you very much for you time and effort. I will not give up until it is running correctly. Brian
