I've done the perfect debian sarge setup with no errors. However, when i get down to setting up ISPConfig, i run into one. When it ask me for the following: Please enter the host name: E.g. www Please enter the domain: E.g. xyz.de I put in www and domain.com, replacing domain.com with my domain name. But it gives me an error about the domain cannot be found or something similiar and the install aborts. Any suggestions?
Hello, Are you certain that the "hosts", "hostname" and "interfaces" config files are correct? The only thing I can think of is that the script is looking for a domain and IP address that matches the hosts file.
The installer tries to ping the FQDN you put in to make sure it exists. In your case it tried to ping www.domain.com. So you have to make sure that www.domain.com exists in DNS and that the firewall (if there's one) does not block pings. If you don't have proper DNS records for your FQDN you can leave the host name empty and enter the IP address as domain.
Ok, I found the problem. My ICMP port was closed on the router therefore stopping ping replies. After opening the port on the router, I sucessfully installed Debian Sarge (Perfect Setup) and ISPConfig, however, there is a problem. I can't seem to get webmail working. Does this feature install automatically? I tried going to https://www.domain.tld:81/webmail/ and https://www.domain.tld/webmail/ and both doesn't work. Did I do something wrong? I've set up a client and website in ISPConfig and I can use pop3 to send and receive mails, but i would also like the webmail feature. Any suggestions? Also, I've installed webmin and started the service. I've also opened the port, port 10000, in the router. However, when I tried to access the page, I get the security alert and hit yes to it, but it just gives me a message saying that i'm not authorized to view this page. Should I try a reinstall?
No, webmail doesn't install automatically. You have to download the webmail *.pkg and then install it from inside ISPConfig with the Management -> Update Manager -> Update function. From that point you should be able to access it on your port 81 /webmail. ________ Honda mobilio history
I followed your instructions and was able to get webmail and phpmyadmin loaded. Webmail seems to work fine but there is a slight problem with phpmyadmin. I downloaded the latest version and uploaded it through the update function, as instructed. It said it was successful. However, when i log into phpmyadmin it works fine but when i try to logout, it keeps asking me for a username and password, then eventually times out telling me that the username or password is wrong. I know something is wrong but just can't figure it out. Should i do a re-install? If yes, how would i uninstall the current phpmyadmin?
PHPmyadmin is just a script and the directory is accessable by web. You delete that and reinstall might not fix it. phpMyAdmin is located here: /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web It's just a script that connects to mySQL. The editable file is config.inc.php. It might not help you fix your problem if the database is the problem.
No, don't re-install phpMyAdmin, that's the normal behaviour! As soon as you click on "Exit" in phpMyAdmin, you're already logged out, then the next page loads and sees you're not logged in and therefore asks you for the login details. Nothing wrong here.
LOL. I just realized what he was saying. My bad. Falko, will it break anything if I disable htaccess and enable cookie login for phpMyAdmin access? Maybe that's what the original post was all about?
So then I think I've done a successful Debian Sarge 3.1 setup. Hey thanks guys, I couldn't have done it without your help and tutorial.
