Hello!! I just finishes a new ISPConfig 3 on an Ubuntu 22.04 server on a subdomain I )followed the procedure mentioned at howtoforge. I installed nginx version The process at step 4 finished ok. I got admin and mysql passwords When I try to complete step 5 (setting up the firewall) using the UI and navigating the the subdomain, I get a 403 forbidden error What is wrong? Should I configure something else via ssh console?
We have many different install guides. Which one exactly did you use and if you used the auto-installer, which exact parameters do you use. maybe your subdomain poínts to a wrong server or you run an external firewall which blocks access. SSH console is not needed to create a website in ISPConfig.
403 shouldn't be a firewall issue. A firewall blocks or passes traffic, leaving you with or without a connection to the website. 403 is a webserver responce, so there seems to be a connection to that (assuming it's the right server). And 403 means "Forbidden". Check the logs as there should be an entry on why the error is given.
Yes, you are right. Maybe he deleted the default index page and did not upload a new one yet. or he redirected the site to an empty folder.
Hi Remkah thanks for ypur amswer This is a brand new VPS, nothing installed yet, just the Ubuntu OS. No firewall configured beforehand
