Successful installation on a ppc platform (an Apple iMac 400 with 128Mb ram) following the 'ISP-Server Setup - Ubuntu 5.10 "Breezy Badger"'. Only have a little problem at every boot with quota: quotaon: using //quota.group on /dev/hda3 [/]: Function not implemented quotaon: using //quota.user on /dev/hda3 [/]: Function not implemented If it is a minor problem i can live with it. A real problem is when i get web pages on browser. I receive a random "forbidden" error, that states that i cannot access the page. Restart Apache2 and for some time the result is as expected, no errors at all, after which the problem appear again, at the beginning after an inconsistent number of pages (or images) and then always more frequently until i am forced to restart Apache2. The problem is NOT with the apache of ISPconfig, but only with apache2 for websites. What can i do? LC
Either your Kernel has not quota enabled or you have not modified the /etc/fstab correctly to enable quota on /dev/hda3 Strannge, never heard of that problem. Please compare the permissions of files that can be viewed in browser with files where you get an permission error. Do they have the same rights? Please check your apache log for errors.
This is the exact error: ---------- Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Is there an .htaccess file in /var/www/web1/web/ ? The webroot of the apache vhost is /var/www/web1/web/ and not /var/www/web1/ Is your server under heavy load or have you any services running that need so much file descriptors that all file descriptors are in use?
was my typo, no ".htaccess" in /var/www/web1/web/ no, for sure the server is not under heavy load. Services are all on, except for bind.

You have to use Code: ls -l[B][COLOR="Red"]a[/COLOR][/B] instead of Code: ls -l to see files that begin with a dot. Try this; I'm sure there is a .htaccess file.
no, there is not: Code: root@mta:~# ls -la /var/www/web1/web/ total 56 drwxrwxr-x 13 web1_monica web1 4096 2005-12-27 18:46 . drwxr-xr-x 10 web1_monica web1 4096 2005-12-14 21:20 .. drwxr-xr-x 3 web1_monica web1 4096 2005-12-10 18:41 2lang drwxr-xr-x 3 web1_monica web1 4096 2005-12-11 13:12 cmsimple drwxrwxrwx 2 web1_monica web1 4096 2005-12-14 21:17 content drwxrwxrwx 2 web1_monica web1 4096 2005-12-10 20:08 downloads drwxrwxr-x 2 web1_monica web1 4096 2005-12-10 18:33 error drwxr-xr-x 3 web1_monica web1 4096 2005-12-10 18:41 images -rw-r--r-- 1 web1_monica web1 39 2005-12-10 18:41 index.php drwxr-xr-x 8 web1_monica web1 4096 2005-12-12 21:19 mail drwxr-xr-x 2 web1_monica web1 4096 2005-12-10 18:41 plugins drwxr-xr-x 2 web1_monica web1 4096 2005-12-12 04:00 stats drwxr-xr-x 6 web1_monica web1 4096 2005-12-10 18:50 templates drwxr-xr-x 2 web1_monica web1 4096 2005-12-12 21:05 wiz i've also searched for ".htaccess" into all folders, the only one found is into /var/www/web1/web/stats that is not part of the site. Keep in mind that the "forbidden" error is random, so the majority of the requests are correctly served. Can this error be related to my "quota" error? Thanks for your help, LC
tried today the same installation (ubuntu-server-5.10-install-i386 + ISPConfig-2.1.2.tar.gz) on a P4 2.8GHz 256RAM, all work as expected, no quota error, no forbiddens, no errors at all. Until now... LC
pcfg_openfile 'Too many files' problem I had exactly the same problem installing the 'perfect setup' for debian sarge. I was using a 64 bit system though, and I think this problem have something to do with the the 64 bit system. I'm pretty sure the error is an OS problem - not a permissions issue. After lots of futzing around, I found this: http://groups.google.com/group/comp...UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&start=10&sa=N#c1b73aa6c4d8525e Which explains that this error: Is caused by more files being open on the system than are set as allowable in /proc/sys/fs/file-max. you can tell how many files you're allowed to open by doing The obvious fix is to make it so you can open more files. I tried almost doubling how many I allowed to open: That seemed to sort out the problem, the trouble is, being a bad admin, I don't really know how many files I *should* allow to be open at any time. This works, but am I introducing security flaws? I wish I was a better admin. Anyway - from my experience so far, I would not recommend running ispconfig under a 64 bit debian system - too fiddly, but workable so far. Hope this helps someone one day. I was bewildered about this for a good few hours.. cheers, Saul.
it didn't work in the end.. hi falco, thanks for all your help and feedback I'm giving this one up - I thought it would work to increase the open files allowance in the way I described above, but I'm still having lots of problems.. the same errors after the system runs for a while... so scratch that earlier advice! I've re-installed my server with a 32bit system and I'm starting from scratch. fingers crossed! Cheers, Saul.
same problem ! Hi, I don't know if it's good news for you but i had exactly the sames problem. The first one about quota, i solve it with recompiling the kernel with quota support. the second one, the weird "forbidden" problem i just put the finger on it ! I have a mac mini 1.42Ghz and i used the ubuntu perfect setup howto. I put it in the DMZ and i disabled the firewall with ispconfig interface. Another problem is that i can access this ispconfig interface by the port 81 from outside, but the pages don't seems to open well : there is errors with downloading images in the central frame so the browser can't finish opening them. I access the interface with ssl enabled. I start my "forum crowler" night ! see you soon ...
Which browser do you use on your mac mini? Please try to connect with firefox or camino and check if the problems remain. I guess you have an URL to the controlpanel in the config.inc.php file that can be only resolved from inside your network? Try to change the url in config.inc.php to an URL that points to your external IP.
I use firefox and safari on two macs : one in the local network and one outside. always the same behavior : you can see the website quietly for a moment but at one time the forbidden message appear randomly. you can check by yourself here : http://gastfall.org or http://www.gastfall.org It is a "healthy" solution to allow more files opened ? What is the "by default" maximum ? You are wright ! I put the wan IP instead : one problem solved, thanks ! By the way, it didn't change the "forbidden" pb... i still digging!
trying again with 64bit system Well it was quite comical that at 6pm - on the day I posted that I was giving up running ispconfig on the 64bit system - then spending the whole day reinstalling debain3.1 for 32bit, installing Perfect Setup 3.1, re-installing ispconfig etc.. etc. I get a message that the new version of ispconfig is out - with 64bit support! Anyway - since it's so easy to set up, and I'm getting good at it now! I'll test whether the problem with too many open files and random 403s (+ patchily loading images due to - I assume random 403s on each image as the system opened too many files - these were my symptoms). was to do with running a 64bit system. It seems this problem is common to some macs and to the amd64 bit hardware I'm running it on - because the symptoms are identical. It looked, at first like dns or permissions issues to me too, but the givaway (which mentioned running out of open file quota) was in the individual site logs - not in the ispconfig main logs.. I've just re-installed debian and am half way through the perfect 3.1 install on a 64bit system. I'll let you know if I have the same problem as before with the new version of ispconfig. I really hope not! I think I'll be tearing my hair out after the 3rd install in 3 days Cheers, Saul.
Hi ! Because i passed too much time to adjust all this stuff like a blind man (i added more pb to my first one!), i'll ask one basic questions : I bought a domain name "gastfall.org" at ovh.com : In there configuration pane i put 3 entries : .gastfall.org MX1 (ORT redirect) .gastfall.org A 82.227.0.130 (my external ip) www.gastfall.org A 82.227.0.130 I put in ispconfig interface in server, settings : server name=chocobox ; hostname=www ; domain=192.168.0.5 ; ip=192.168.0.5 ; netmask=255.255.255.0. And in DNS : Default Ns1: 82.227.0.130 ; Default Ns2: 82.227.0.130. I made a new client and a new site in ispconfig interface (with 2 users) : -In basis, i put hostname=www ; domain=gastfall.org ; create DNS and DNS-MX. -In co-domains, i add an entry without hostname and domain=gastfall.org and create DNS and DNS-MX. Please, tell me if i am wrong for all that adjustments ? Saul, thanks in advance for digging the "forbidden pb" ! I have the idea that the two configurations ppc and 64bit needed to recompile the kernel to add quota support, so perhaps, the problem deals with quota ? I'll tell everybody if i find something !
Your mail will be handled by redirect.ovh.net - it is ok like that if you intend it like this. Ok. As domain you should use a domain, not an IP address. This is important only if you want your ISPConfig server to act as a nameserver. If you let ovh.com handle your DNS records, then it doesn't matter what you fill in here (btw, you should use FQDNs here instead of IP addresses). Ok, but you don't need "Create DNS" and "Create MX" because the DNS records are handled by ovh.com. Ok, but again same as above. Did you forward port 80 from your router to your ISPConfig server?
