Can't access ISPConfig from a LAN machine [Resolved] [For ppl who've fried their brains during the Linux install process.] Hi, I am new to Linux, and have setup a Debian Sarge LAMP server following Falko's great guide. (Prior to finding it, I had been floundering with Debian and Ubuntu for a month! arrrrgggg) The LAMP server is located on an internal LAN that has a number of Windows machines on it as well. Everything seems to be working when I browse to it from other machines on the LAN; I can access Apache2, I can administrate MySQL through phpMyAdmin, connect via FTP, etc. When I installed ISPConfig, I answered the questions as per the online documentation. At the end, when I had to nominate the IP, I entered the machine's LAN IP, and the domain as the local domain name (webdev.abmsdomain.local) (webdev is the host name). Since I haven't setup my Hosts file yet, I am accessing this machine via it's IP address. When I use the link: http://192.168.0.5:81 to access ISPConfig from another PC on the LAN, I get an error message: The connection was reset The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading. I haven't tested it locally on the linux machine itself (since the machine hangs when I run the browser) but since I can access Apache etc from my other machines, I'm pretty sure that ISPConfig should work. I looked in the httpd.conf file for ISPConfig but couldn't see anything there that would prevent external access. What do I need to change to enable ISPConfig to be accessable via my LAN? Cheers, Nap
This sounds like ISPConfig SSL certificate is corrupt. Did you try with Firefox? IS the error message something like "firefox -8182"? Then you should recreate the certificate as shown here: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=121
Hi Falko, Thnx for taking the time to help me. Your guide is a fabulous document! Thank you for taking the time to create it. I don't get any error number is my browser (which is Firefox). I will have a look at the link you gave me, coz when I went through the certificate creation process, I simply accepted the defaults. (I suspected that it might have consequences, especially since the domain doesn't match the certificate.) Cheers, Nap
Hi Falko, I tried the following steps: Code: openssl genrsa -des3 -passout pass:yourpassword -out /root/ispconfig/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server.key2 1024 openssl req -new -passin pass:yourpassword -passout pass:yourpassword -key /root/ispconfig/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server.key2 -out /root/ispconfig/httpd/conf/ssl.csr/server.csr -days 365 openssl req -x509 -passin pass:yourpassword -passout pass:yourpassword -key /root/ispconfig/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server.key2 -in /root/ispconfig/httpd/conf/ssl.csr/server.csr -out /root/ispconfig/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt -days 365 openssl rsa -passin pass:yourpassword -in /root/ispconfig/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server.key2 -out /root/ispconfig/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server.key chmod 400 /root/ispconfig/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server.key But no joy. Still getting the same message as before: The connection was reset The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading. and no error numbers. When I was asked to enter the details for the Certificate, I entered in values for each one, but I was a little confused on how to answer the email (I used admin@localhost). The hostname is webdev and the domain name is abmsdomain.local. I am using the .local because that's what my W2K Server has it's domain name set to (even though when I log on from another machine, it doesn't show the .local part. Since this is a machine that is not accesable from the Internet, is there a particular way I should be doing this? Also, I've found that while I can access Apache2 via http, I cannot acces it via https. With this, I get the message: The connection was interrupted The connection to webdev.abmsdomain.local was interrupted while the page was loading. and again, no error numbers. I have setup my HOSTS file to point 192.168.0.5 to webdev.abmsdomain.local. Cheers, Nap
Hi Falko, Here is my netstat -tap output.

I just realised that the firewall on my Windows machine blocks port 81. I've opened it, and am now able to login. But, after logging in and the screen is partially updated, I get the message: Not Found The requested URL /nojsindx.htm was not found on this server. I looked in the /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web folder, and it's not there. However there is a file with that name in several of the sub-folders. Any comments? Why isn't is in the web folder? Can I copy the file from one of the sub-folders into the web folder? Cheers, Nap
