Ip goes directly to webmail instead of isp3 HELP please

I followed the tutorial on how to setup isp3 for ubuntu 12.04lts and when I go to the ip address it shows the login screen for webmail and not isp3. I am not sure what I have done or how to fix it.

 

G'day IrishDoc,

In the URL did you use the port that was chosen at the ISPConfig setup section of that tutorial? I believe that ISPConfig defaults to port 8080

So if you choose SSL access type into your favourite web browser

https://example.com:8080 or https://192.168.1.1:8080

If you didn't choose SSL type into your favourite web browswer

http://example.com:8080 or http://192.168.1.1:8080

Obviously change the IP and domain to what you have set!

I have it on 8080, you can see here 91.121.156.14:8080, if you just enter the ip it goes to webmail. It goes to the webmail no matter what I enter.

 

1) Please show link to tutorial you used
2) Post contents of files:
a) /etc/apache2/sites-available/ispconfig.vhost
b) /etc/apache2/conf.d/squirrelmail.conf (I think its here, don't use it so it might have a different name or location)

More specifically are you running Nginx or Apache2?

 

Here is the link to the tutorial
http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-12.04-lts-apache2-bind-dovecot-ispconfig-3

The files you asked me to check are showing permission denied, really not sure why that is, I have root access to my server and thats how I installed everything using putty.

 

apache2 (I believe), sorry I didn't specify that to my provider but when using the apache restart commands they worked perfectly.


Just verified with my provider that apache2 is being used

 

What happens when you do:

Code:

cat /etc/apache2/conf.d/squirrelmail.conf

that file should look like this to begin with:

Code:

Alias /squirrelmail /usr/share/squirrelmail
Alias /webmail /usr/share/squirrelmail

 

Is it a VPS?
Do you have actual root access? or did they just make you an account and add you to the sudoers file?

 

yes it does

Code:

Alias /squirrelmail /usr/share/squirrelmail
Alias /webmail /usr/share/squirrelmail

<Directory /usr/share/squirrelmail>
  Options FollowSymLinks
  <IfModule mod_php5.c>
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
    php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off
    php_flag track_vars On
    php_admin_flag allow_url_fopen Off
    php_value include_path .
    php_admin_value upload_tmp_dir /var/lib/squirrelmail/tmp
    php_admin_value open_basedir /usr/share/squirrelmail:/etc/squirrelmail:/var/lib/squirrelmail:/etc/hostname:/etc/mailname:/var/spool/squirrelmail
    php_flag register_globals off
  </IfModule>
  <IfModule mod_dir.c>
    DirectoryIndex index.php
  </IfModule>

  # access to configtest is limited by default to prevent information leak
  <Files configtest.php>
    order deny,allow
    deny from all
    allow from 127.0.0.1
  </Files>
</Directory>

# users will prefer a simple URL like http://webmail.example.com
<VirtualHost 91.121.156.14>
  DocumentRoot /usr/share/squirrelmail
  ServerName webmail.kustomhosting.net
</VirtualHost>

# redirect to https when available (thanks [email protected])
#
#  Note: There are multiple ways to do this, and which one is suitable for
#  your site's configuration depends. Consult the apache documentation if
#  you're unsure, as this example might not work everywhere.
#
#<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
#  <IfModule mod_ssl.c>
#    <Location /squirrelmail>
#      RewriteEngine on
#      RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !^on$ [NC]
#      RewriteRule . https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}  [L]
#    </Location>
#  </IfModule>
#</IfModule>

 

actual root access, no need for me to add the 'sudo' for my commands

 

Change

Code:

<VirtualHost 91.121.156.14>

to

Code:

<VirtualHost 91.121.156.14:80>

 

Make sure to run

Code:

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

What we could do to eliminate the possibility of squirrelmail being the problem (which I think it is - something wrong in your squirrelmail.conf) we can just remove that link.

Do this:

Code:

rm /etc/apache2/conf.d/squirrelmail.conf

That will remove the link and then run:

Code:

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Then check if you can access ISPConfig

 

OK. after removing the mail link it worked. What do you think it might be in the conf of squirrelmail?

 

Before you removed the link did you change the squirrelmail.conf to reflect my previous post?

Change

Code:

<VirtualHost 91.121.156.14>

to

Code:

<VirtualHost 91.121.156.14:80>

The issue I believe is the webmail.example.com virtualhost. If its not because you forgot to add the port behind the IP then something else is missing or miss configured.

To re-add the link do this:

Code:

cd /etc/apache2/conf.d/
ln -s ../../squirrelmail/apache.conf squirrelmail.conf
/etc/init.d/apache2 reload

 

Thanks for all your help. The problem was in the port and I was able to reload the webmail link.
