Changing ISPConfig from https to http

I successfully installed ISPConfig and have set up a reseller, a few customers, websites and some (already active) e-mail users.

During the ISPConfig install I selected https (SSL) as the connection method to my server.

Now I find out that when I'm not on my LAN (in the office) I cannot access my server at port 81 and suspect that the firewall settings have something to do with it. So I want to change the server to non-SSL in order to test this (and to access my webmail ).

Question: can I do this or do I need to reinstall ISPConfig (using partial deinstallation). Which leads to the question around mail users; will their mailboxes be preserved as well with partial deinstallation. The reason why I'm ask is that my current users have IMAP access and I don't want to lose those emails

 

Edit /root/ispconfig/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.

To turn on/off SSL

Change the line:

Code:

SSLEngine on  

to

Code:

SSLEngine off

To change port from default 81 to XX

Edit the lines

Code:

Port 81

and

Code:

<IfDefine SSL>
Listen 81
</IfDefine>
  

to

Code:

Port XX

<IfDefine SSL>
Listen 81
</IfDefine>

Restart
Don't forget to restart ISPC with

Code:

/etc/init.d/ispconfig_server restart

after making the changes .

Didn't find it when looking for it but thanks for the link.

Also, Erk, thanks for the easy explanation!

As it turns out, my employer's network setup doesn't like me connecting to port 81 in a secure manner. And since we have an unsecured WiFi network for customers and vendors I'll hop on that when I need to do something while I'm in the office

 

I am also having a problem like this, in my office at work they block port 81 and i know that we do use https. I do not use any other https sites, so i don't mind using port 443. So correct me if i'm wrong or tell me that i am missing anything else:

Change httpd.conf from

Code:

Port 81

to

Code:

Port 443

and then change

Code:

<IfDefine SSL>
Listen 81
</IfDefine>

to

Code:

<IfDefine SSL>
Listen 443
</IfDefine>

Will that work, or does the listen have to stay at port 81?

Thanks!

 

If you use that port for ispconfig, then you will not be able to run an ssl server from your regular webserver, if im not mistaken.

 

Actually what i ended up doing (i do not use https on any other sites) was i forwarded the port from my router so that all incoming port 443 requests go to the internal port 81.

Thanks for the help!

 

great glad it worked for you!
