Hi! I have opensuse13.1. I followed this tutorial to install my own webserver for non-commercial (home) use. https://www.howtoforge.com/the-perf...ith-apache2-mysql-php-postfix-and-ispconfig-3 I am trying to learn about wordpress, moodle, Owncloud, OsCommerce. I am currently not offering any commercial services to customers (though in future i am looking forward to it as a career) I have following servers at present: (1)Basic server: https://tejasdesai.net (2)Owncloud: https://tejasdesai.net/owncloud (3)Moodle: https://tejasdesai.net/moodle (4)Wordpress: https://tejasdesai.net/wordpress (5)Squirrelmail: https://tejasdesai.net/webmail (6)Magento: https://tejasdesai.net/Magento All my servers have been perfectly set and i can access all of them locally on my PC by typing above URL in browser on the same PC as my server is located. I was also able to access them from other PCs through internet. However while tweaking server configuration i changed something. (I am not server admin so go easy on me). Now my server is NOT ACCESSIBLE from internet (Connection timed out error). I checked through canyouseeme.org My ISP is not blocking services on port 80 and port 443 (I had opted for static IP by paying extra charge and clarified at the outset that my intention is to run a webserver). Though i have enabled them by adding webservices on port 80 and 443 in ACL i.e Access Control List of router. I am behind a router ( Dlink DIR-600M). My ISP is hathwaybroadband india. My Domain was booked through Godaddy and my SSL was also purchased through them. ping on my IP address xxx.xx.xxx.xxx or my hostname from linux shell does not return. I can however browse internet and download things. I guess the problem is in router configuration(Unfortunately no user guide for my model is available on web) or Apache configuration (something to do with /etc/hosts or some firewall issue ( I have disabled OpenSUSE firewall and running ISPConfig firewall as advised in tutorial.) So here I am with my website visible only to me in whole world. My questions are (a)if i simply do away with ISPConfig tool ( I love it but feel it is too powerful for my need) what changes should i make in above tutorial? (b)Will changing model of router help? (c)Currently i have not set up any virtual hosts (Neither in ISPConfig panel nor in my router's webUI). Is that the problem? (d)There is no option for port forwarding in my router. Though ACL and enabling demilitarized zone seem to do the same thing. Should i change my router? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
The above tutorial are the installation instructions for ispconfig, so leaving out ispconfig makes no sense as the ispconfig installer is the tools that writes all config files and connects the services. without it you get just a bunch of unconfigured software. If you can conect to your server from within your local network, then your issue is most likely caused by the router.
Thanks Till! Swift and Accurate reply as ever! Just one more question: If i keep my existing websites in /srv/www/htdocs/ folder and also keep their corresponding databases in sql database and uninstall ISPConfig and then redo the steps of the tutorial (skipping the steps for installing SQL server as the required databases are already present) then will i get my websites running back? Thanks again. Wish i could avail your consultancy here! In India hardly 10% people are familiar with linux and very few with ISPConfig. So it is very difficult to get advice.
ISPConfig websites are not in /srv/www/htdocs/, so you must created them manually aside from ispconfig. A iúninstall of ispconfig should not affect them.
I was about to try ISPConfig on opensuse 13.2 when i read this post https://www.howtoforge.com/community/threads/problems-with-susue-13-2-and-ispconfig-3-0-5-4p5.67619/ As on Nov 7 2014 you said that ISPConfig does not support opensuse 13.2 and one should not use tutorial below written for opensuse 13.1 https://www.howtoforge.com/the-perf...ith-apache2-mysql-php-postfix-and-ispconfig-3 However one user in comments section below that tutorial says he could install and use ISPConfig on opensuse 13.2. I also got this guide: http://www.server180.com/2014/12/how-to-install-ispconfig-3-on-opensuse.html Is it safe to use ISPConfig (latest version) on opensuse 13.2? Thanks
Personally I wont use opensuse for hosting servers at all as its too unstable for me, but thats just my personal experience with that distribution. I only use Debian and Ubuntu. If you get it installed, then it will work. But we havent tested it.
I tried on opensuse 13.2 and it installed fine and it is monitoring the server well. I will try to give you feedback after using ISPConfig's various features. Thanks for your reply. P.S.: even android app is working well and the tutorial below for opensuse 13.1 can be still followed for opensuse 13.2. with small changes in just 2-3 steps. Just in case it helps someone. Thanks. https://www.howtoforge.com/the-perf...ith-apache2-mysql-php-postfix-and-ispconfig-3
Hi ! This is with respect to my previous post on Feb 19, 2015. My ISPConfig was working well on opensuse 13.2 but after automatic update of opensuse the webUI has become inaccessible (Can not establish connection). I tried to re install (latest version and also earlier version). The installation proceeds smoothly. Database is also created. But still no access to webUI. Error: Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at tejasdesai.net:8080 I have tried both standard and expert modes, also both with and without SSL. Still no luck. No logs are written in ISPCOnfig or apache logfiles. I will try with ubuntu as suggested by you on other PC but I request you to make it compatible with opensuse 13.2 . Also please write tutorial for it if possible. thanks.
