I can access the ispconfig interface from another pc but not the server itself. strange! POP and IMAP server showing offline
Then imap and pop service are not running. Try to start dovecot or courier (depends on what you installed, but most likely it is dovecot).
Hi Till I think there is some problem with dovecot setup and needs to be repaired. Code: root@server1:/home/pawan# service dovecot start dovecot start/running, process 4153 root@server1:/home/pawan# netstat -tap | grep imap root@server1:/home/pawan# service dovecot status dovecot stop/waiting root@server1:/home/pawan# Even after dovecot service start the command netstat -tap | grep imap doesn't give any output. Also mail.err log shows like this Code: Mar 9 13:52:40 server1 postfix/proxymap[4287]: error: open /etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_forwardings.cf: Permission denied Mar 9 13:52:40 server1 postfix/proxymap[4287]: error: open /etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_email2email.cf: Permission denied Mar 9 13:52:40 server1 postfix/proxymap[4287]: error: open /etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_mailboxes.cf: Permission denied
Yes, the dovecot config seems to be broken so that it can't start. Please take a look at the mail log file, maybe there you can find some dovecot errors.
Hi Till I have copied over the whole folders for dovecot and postfix from old installation and backed the new folder. Now dovecot is running properly. Code: root@server1:/home/pawan# netstat -tap | grep pop tcp 0 0 *:pop3 *:* LISTEN 1282/dovecot tcp 0 0 *:pop3s *:* LISTEN 1282/dovecot POP3 and IMAP service is also showing online. The problem now I am facing is I am not able to login to mailboxes using roundcube. it Fails. I am not able to login to ISPCONFIG interface from the server pc itself but can login from another PC.
The problem is that you have overridden the password with your copy action, so postfix and dovecot can't access the database with the login anymore now. to fix that, download the ispconfig tar.gz again, run the update.php script in the install folder and let the updater reconfigure the services.
Thanks Till that worked perfectly for mail login. But the problem mentioned in point 2 still persist that is I am not able to login in to ispconfig in server pc itself but only from another pc. Even when I am typing https://server1.mywebsolutions.co.in:8080 the page for login screen is not showing up.
maybe you have a wrong record in the /etc/hosts file, so that the local access points to a wrong IP? Or your pc is behind a NAT router and this router blocks access to the external IP, in this case, try to use the internal IP.
