Hi guys, I followed "The Perfect Server" guide (http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-12.10-apache2-bind-dovecot-ispconfig-3) to the letter. Everything (except for mailman, which I chose not to install) seems to be working properly, no errors displayed whatsoever. However, I can't access IPSConfig: neither through my OutsideIP:8080, nor through LocalIP:8080. All the virtual hosts that I have configured in Apache2 do load fine. I am relatively new to Linux and I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this issue. Please advise how to proceed. Thanks!
So the problem occurred after a ispconfig update? You describe that you have already vhosts so you must have been able to access ispconfig before to create them as ispconfig requires a empty server on installation.
So, it would appear that the problem might be the fact that I did not install ISPConfig on an empty server? In my case I had configured LAMP, set up Apache with virtual hosts and carried on with my websites happily for some time - until I decided to add a mailserver and couldn't do it the command-line way, so I elected to finish the guide and install ISPConfig as well. In other words, there's no way to rectify this with some small changes to the current setup without going through a complete OS reinstall?
Yes, that might be the case as your manual configuration conflicts now with ispconfig. It is possible to fix that most likely without a reinstall but it requires some debugging of the apache configuration. Please post the output of: netstat -tap and iptables -L
