Hello, I installed this on Ubuntu 12.4.3 LTS (Precise) I downloaded this code from: http://www.ispconfig.org/downloads/ISPConfig-3-stable.tar.gz I followed the document: The Perfect Server - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Apache2, BIND, Dovecot, ISPConfig 3) http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-12.04-lts-apache2-bind-dovecot-ispconfig-3 I deviated from the document by: Router assigned a DHCP address of 10.0.1.171 based on the mac address of my computer. /etc/network/wireless is set to default Omitted PureFTP Omitted Quota After completing Step 22 on Page 7 of the document, I couldn't get the ISPConfig page to load. Connection refused. I made an attempt to reinstall, and was suggested to use update.php instead. I opted to create new keys. Didn't accomplish much of a change. Of course, for security and privacy reasons, I substituted my domain name with example.com and obfuscated my IP address. wget https://www.example.com:8080 --2013-10-10 13:50:06-- https://www.example.com:8080/ Resolving www.example.com (www.example.com)... 76.10.x.x Connecting to www.example.com (www.example.com)|76.10.x.x|:8080... failed: Connection refused. So I see above where my web browser got the idea that the connection was refused. Let's see what happens with localhost instead. wget https://localhost:8080 --2013-10-10 13:50:56-- https://localhost:8080/ Resolving localhost (localhost)... 127.0.0.1 Connecting to localhost (localhost)|127.0.0.1|:8080... connected. ERROR: cannot verify localhost's certificate, issued by `/C=AU/ST=Some-State/O=Internet Widgits Pty Ltd': Self-signed certificate encountered. ERROR: certificate common name `' doesn't match requested host name `localhost'. To connect to localhost insecurely, use `--no-check-certificate'. Okay, I'm given a hint as to how to get this page loaded. Let's go for it: wget --no-check-certificate https://localhost:8080 --2013-10-10 13:51:39-- https://localhost:8080/ Resolving localhost (localhost)... 127.0.0.1 Connecting to localhost (localhost)|127.0.0.1|:8080... connected. WARNING: cannot verify localhost's certificate, issued by `/C=AU/ST=Some-State/O=Internet Widgits Pty Ltd': Self-signed certificate encountered.

I haven't had much progress with interpreting the documentation over the last decade. What have I missed and where do I read up on that? Tim Legg
I may have identified the problem. I tested port 443 with nc on a intranet machine as well as on a proxy machine 30 miles away. Yes, the router didn't block that traffic. But it did block port 8080. I for some reason had it in my mind that the webpage was using 443, despite typing 8080 right into the URL. I feel sort of stupid I spent 3-4 hours reading newsgroups, FAQs and wiki pages over this to have it be an oversight of port privileges. Can't change the router settings for a few hours...
