    *** 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.
