I have/had ISPconfig installed on a Debian 12 Servrer at customer site. Did not look at it quiet a days. Today I at to change something, but could not connect. I found out port 8080 not listening. dbispconfig exists. how can I get ISPconfig back. What if I do cd /tmp wget https://www.ispconfig.org/downloads/ISPConfig-3.3.1.tar.gz tar xvfz ISPConfig-3.3.1.tar.gz cd ispconfig3_install/install php -q update.php Thanks for any help
OS is Debian 12, with lastest patches from yesterday. iSP config was 3.3.0p3 pr or one release before, if I remember well. serverrebot did not change anything. I have root access to mysql mk
Please run the test script and post the ersults: https://forum.howtoforge.com/threads/please-read-before-posting.58408/ There are 2 main reasons why ISPConfig can disappear, unless you uninstall it. The first one is that someone closed port 8080 on that server and the second one is that someone might have deleted the ispconfig vhost file.

It might be that someone deleted the ispconfig vhost then. Please check in the Apache sites-available folder if the ispconfig.vhost is there and then check in sites-enabled folder if a symlink to the ispconfig.vhost file is there.
Ok, so someone deleted the ispconfig interface config in Apache. The problem is that ISPConfig will not recreate it, as systems without that file are treated as headless slave nodes. Do you have a backup of these files, maybe from an ISPConfig update?
It should be in /var/backup/ispconfig. Unpack one of the etc*.tar.gz packages. Inside you will find a full baclup of the /etc folder, from which you can restore the file and its symlink.
Thank you, shound't there be more than 3 backups. Finally I restored a the complete server from backup from 26.1.2026 and ISPonfig starts fine. can not imagine what happend, as the local administrator hates command line, onlx works with GUI. So I think that he didn't delete something. But thank you very much anyway.
Sorry to ask, just for understanding. I looked at my ISPConfig server in the backup Directory a at lot of directories, with date from when I made an upgrade of ISPconfig.containing gz files. So long I understand. but the is a "ispconfig" directory containig .gz file from the last three days at 03:00 pm. Do you make a backup every day and keep them for three days? Good to know.
I do not think there is a feature for ISPConfig to backup itself daily like you said. I could be wrong though.
