Followed the Ubuntu 8.10 Perfect Server guide for my VPS on Linode. First time through was a learning experience. I tried ISPConfig 3, but that didn't work out so well. Second time around everything went much smoother, and I successfully installed ISPConfig 2. I connected via port 81, updated the e-mail address, logged out. Installed phpMyAdmin (using apt-get). All of a sudden, can't even get to ISPConfig anymore. Fought with it for a while, gave up, blanked my server and started again. So I just finished installing and configuring my server using the guide again, but I need to know if I should install phpMyAdmin first this time. Or perhaps there's some step I'm missing to get them to run in harmony. Thanks in advance for any information.
You should just install the PhpMyadmin package from http://www.ispconfig.org/downloads.htm. Follow Hans guide here http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=30498&highlight=phpmyadmin
Follow up question: after finishing my install of ISPConfig and phpMyAdmin, I proceeded setting up my website. It's been running flawlessly without reboot since I configured the server. Today I realized I forgot to set the proper timezone, so I ran dpkg-reconfigure tzdata and updated accordingly. To get php to recognize that change I rebooted. Now I can't access anything on port 81 (i.e. ISPConfig and phpMyAdmin). Is there a service I need to start manually?
Isp config should start manually. try: maybe it didnt start on reboot There are lots of great info on ispconfig here: http://www.howtoforge.com/mini-howtos/ispconfig
