Specifications: Local server running behind Firewall Ubuntu 17.10 4 core Intel i5 16GB ram Did full install following instructions found on this site for Ubuntu 17.10. See attached htf_report.txt for details. One change I had to make is I can't have both port 80 and 8080 assigned, so I changed the port for the admin console to another port. Once the install is completed step for step (no errors at all), I get to to the login screen. Login and it returns to the same page. Can't log in. Checked apache2 error logs, nothing worth mentioning. I don't know where the error logs for ispconfig is, so I can't post. To clarify before I get asked, in apache2.conf: <Directory /var/www/> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All Require all granted </Directory>
Are you sure that you used the correct password, the one that was shown during install? The password is not admin anymore, it is a random password shown by the installer or a custom password entered by you.
I entered my own password instead of the randomly generated password and that is the one that I am using. The thing is it is not giving a error message or warning message. It is just simply refreshing the page.
I don't know why it suddenly started working, but after a 3rd server restart it is suddenly working as it should. Strange... I guess it really was "Third time's a charm"
