Hi, first of all, excuse my english as I'm french. I install ISPConfig 3 on a fresh installation of Debian Buster on my home server. All appears good, and I got the final mesage saying ISPConfig was installed. But when I try to connect me at the webui, nothing happen and after a while, I got the message saying that the server takes too much time to respond. I run the test as indicated. Here's the result Code: ##### SERVER ##### IP-address (as per hostname): ***.***.***.*** [WARN] could not determine server's ip address by ifconfig [INFO] OS version is Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) [INFO] uptime: 08:42:36 up 16:20, 1 user, load average: 0,00, 0,00, 0,00 [INFO] memory: total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 7,8Gi 1,5Gi 4,2Gi 19Mi 2,1Gi 5,9Gi Swap: 951Mi 0B 951Mi [INFO] systemd failed services status: UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB DESCRIPTION ● [email protected] loaded failed failed Postfix Mail Transport Agent (instance -) LOAD = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.

ip address by ifconfig. I don't understand because when I type in a terminal ifconfig, the IP address of the server appears. I revised /etc/hosts and I have IP associated to my server name. What's wrong? Thanks in advance
But I was root runing the test. I connect me to the server by SSH as user and after, change to root by su - command
How did you do this installation? Have you verified you did exactly as instructed? It is important ISPConfig is installed on minimal server installation with no configurations done execpt as instructed in the minimal server tutorial https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/debian-10-buster-minimal-server/ If you find the Perfect Server Tutorial https://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-debian-10-buster-apache-bind-dovecot-ispconfig-3-1/ too confusing or cumbersome, there is autoinstall: https://www.howtoforge.com/ispconfig-autoinstall-debian-ubuntu/
Yes , I follow exactly the perfect server tutorial for debian. Finally, I decided not to spend time and decided to manage my home server using CLI. Thanks for yours answers, even if they dont solved my problem.
So your server is at home, behind router presumably, just like mine. Did you open / forward all the ports from your router to your server? Can you try accessing it from out your LAN?
I decided to make a last trial. I installed a fresh debian 10 version and follow point to point the "The Perfect server - Debian" tutorial. Except a little problem with certificates (because I didn't have an A record for my server), all worked fine and I could connect me to the web ui desde my client PC. I have now to read the manual for better knowledge of this app. Thanks a lot for your help. And how close this thread. I don't find how to do it.
If you are using dynamic (public) ip, consider using CNAME instead of A record for your server, to get LE certs. There are several dynamic dynamic dns providers that you can use for free.
