*** MY ENVIRONMENT *** Machine : VPS 2vCore OS distro : Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Server : Apache 2.4 Panel : ISPConfig 3.2.2 (up to date) Hello, When filling the relevant field, the correct IP address is by default displayed in scroll-down menu, I can then select it, and it remained set until I click the “Save“ button. But after the saving process gets terminated, when I re-open the “domain“ tab, I observe that the IP address was removed. This issue may be the reason why I can’t access my server from FTP client with FTP user created in ISPConfig. It is the first time that I installed ISPConfig 3.2 with the autoinstaller, with success apparently (using git). I then can testify that I never faced such this IP address issue with else installation method for ISPConfig 3.1. Autoinstaller (git method) : https://git.ispconfig.org/ispconfig/ispconfig-autoinstaller I don’t know what causes the issue (and need help to solve it), but maybe the autoinstaller is one track among others that should be investigated ! Please help !
No, this is not related to FTP in any way. This is also not related to the auto-installer at all. First, it is recommended to select always * in the IPv4 field. If you want to use an IP anyway (this might cause you access problems when using an IP instead of *), then you must add the IP address under system > server IP first.
Maybe we should add a check to the query for the IP addresses to check wether this checkbox is enabled for the IP?
*** SOLVED *** You're right ! I did get the FTP issue solved after understanding that my hosting service provider now delivers VPS with higher default security settings than before…. *** SOLVED *** Thank U, I did set the entry to * (all domains), and all is fine.... *** Q1 *** Is this recommendation recent ? Because this field is set with specific IP address on all my oldest ISPConfig instances, and no problem at all…. *** Q2 *** I found that it is already added by default, but there was no entry (empty field) for the client setting, so I set it to a registered client…. Should I then remove this add if I did set * instead of IP address under the domain setting tab ?
It's like this for many years now. the problem is that if you enable an IP in apache or nginx, it will catch all requests for other domains that use *. Therefore it's better to not use the IP and use * instead. using the IP makes only sense if your server has multiple IP addresses and you set a dedicated IP for each website. But as IPv4 addresses are a rare good today, it has become very uncommon to have a dedicated IP per website and therfore, using * is the recommended option, as you may never mix * and IP addresses on a server within websites. No, just change it back the way that it was at install time.
