I installed fresh Ispconfig on Ubuntu 16.04 with apache, mysql. I am getting this error in the vhost/error.log Code: [Sat Sep 02 12:31:58.468327 2017] [:error] [pid 18953] [client 66.249.66.201:58155] FastCGI: server "/var/www/clients/client76/web133/cgi-bin/php5-fcgi-69.197.135.186-80-bluebellsschool.org" stderr: Primary script unknown [Sat Sep 02 12:32:12.173250 2017] [autoindex:error] [pid 19349] (13)Permission denied: [client 117.247.67.136:55124] AH01275: Can't open directory for index: /var/www/clients/client76/web133/web/ [Sat Sep 02 12:34:07.483706 2017] [autoindex:error] [pid 19643] (13)Permission denied: [client 66.249.66.4:50465] AH01275: Can't open directory for index: /var/www/clients/client76/web133/web/ [Sat Sep 02 12:48:17.709633 2017] [autoindex:error] [pid 2114] (13)Permission denied: [client 117.247.67.136:55341] AH01275: Can't open directory for index: /var/www/clients/client76/web133/web/ Additionally when I see the web folder. the folder stat and error are created. but no files like default index.html is created. I followed the instructions well, but must have missed something. as a sidenote - I have replaced mariadb with mysql. Update: If I am uploading contents to the webfolder, I am able to access it correctly. which means only default files are not created.
Try to run an ISPConfig update like this: cd /tmp wget http://www.ispconfig.org/downloads/ISPConfig-3.1.6.tar.gz tar xvfz ISPConfig-3.1.6.tar.gz cd ispconfig3_install/install php -q update.php if this does not help, use the ispconfig debug mode when you create a website to see why the default files were not copied.
