ISPconfig after installation cannot reach www.xyz.de:81

Hi to you all!
I've read about a 400 forums here but I cannot solve the problem. I've followed the Perfect Ubuntu Edgy server install and also the installation of ispconfig. All in good condition but I cannot see the domain throught the 81 port..
Here I give the last lines of the configuration of ispconfig and the error messages of the restarting of the isp server. I put the content of /etc/hosts
The output of netstat -tap is ok. How can I modify the MySQL server, host name, domain etc. without re-installing all ispconfig?

Last lines of configuration:

Thank-u in advance!!

 

To avoid the errors during restart, 1st change to your home directory. E.g.

Code:

cd ~

The install script deletes the installation directory after finishing, thus the errors.
Next, what's the output of

Code:

netstat -tap

after restarting ISPConfig again?

 

Thank you very much for your soon answer. You're right, as I'm in my home the reastarting of ispconfig_server is without errors. However I'm still unable to connect http://www.xyz.de:81/
Here is my netstat -tap output.

Next time, please use the # image to embed your output in CODE tags. makes it much more readable.

Means you want to access your panel from the outside?

Means you have your server behind an ADSL router, right?

So you need to make sure www.xyz.de forwards/points to your external IP address used for your ADSL connection.
Next you need to forward port 81 on your router to the server you have with ISPConfig.

I'm very sorry but I'm not so able to manage this staff now (it's also for my english..).
Forwards/points to your external IP address means the address of the router?
I can forwarding port 81 by use of iptables FORWARD?
Server of ISPconfig is the localhost or server1.example.com?

 

yes, the external IP address of your ADSL router.

no, you should forward port 81 on your ADSL router.

ISPConfig is installed on 192.168.100.1? And yes, as long as you are on the same server as your hosts file is on as specified below, you can use the server name server1.example.com. But be aware example.com is a valid domain on the internet, so you can get confused. If ISPConfig is installed on the server with IP address 192.168.100.1, you can also reach ISPConfig with the url

Code:

http://192.168.100.1:81

That is if you didn't configure ISPConfig to use https. then replace http with https.

 

Code:

no, you should forward port 81 on your ADSL router.

In all this days I tried to do it ... but I can't. iptables or ipchain isn't correct?

Code:

you can also reach ISPConfig with the url : http://192.168.100.1:81

I still cannot reach this URL . . .
. . . and I still think there's something wrong in my settings of ISPconfig.

Thank-you all in advance for help.

 

What's the output of

ifconfig

?

that's it..

 

You have your server configured for IPv6 only. 192.168.x.x is an IPv4 address. Without some help, the system cannot match the two. As I don't use IPv6, I'm unsure how to give you some advise to get this fixed.

Checking ISPConfig though can probably be done by using the IPv6 address: fe80::213:49ff:fe25:a414:81 but this is totally untested. You probably need some help from another person at this forum to get things moving....

 

My address is an IPv6, but this is for my hardware? Or if I re-install ISPconfig with other parameters I can solve the problem?

Anyway thank-U very much.

 

I searched round the web for reconfiguring my network to ipv4..but I don't know how to start and how to do it. Is it possible in this post or I've to create a new one? T-U

 

What's in /etc/network/interfaces?

 

Code:

mariou@server1:~$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback


iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.100.1
network 192.168.100.0
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.100.255
gateway 192.168.100.254

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp

auto eth2
iface eth2 inet dhcp

auto ath0
iface ath0 inet dhcp

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp


auto dsl-provider
iface dsl-provider inet ppp
provider dsl-provider



    pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up # line maintained by pppoeconf
mariou@server1:~$ 

This is its content Falko

 

I hope you have leading spaces in the eth0 stanza, like this:

Code:

iface eth0 inet static
    address 192.168.100.1
    network 192.168.100.0
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    broadcast 192.168.100.255
    gateway 192.168.100.254

Also, comment out

Code:

pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up

and restart networking:

Code:

/etc/init.d/networking restart

 

I did what you said but I'm still unable to connect to http://www.xyz.de:81
In my configuration the eth0 is IPv6, i checked through the GUI.
I'm a little about this..

 

Did you follow the Ubuntu Edgy Perfect Setup as close as possible?

 

Yes, of course! I think that maybe there's something wrong in the last lines configuration, I mean the server Mysql and ISPserver..
On the ISPconfig website they said ISPconfig don't support IPv6..
You think I can try to re-install ISPconfig?

 

This won't help as it's a problem with the system, not ISPConfig.
Maybe you should try to reinstall the whole system. I've never had this IPv6 problem when I followed the tutorial.
