The connection was interrupted!!

What's wrong??

I type https://mydomain.com:81 in my browser having updated to ISPConfig 2.2.9 and I get the below error

The connection was interrupted

The connection to www.mydomain.com:81 was interrupted while the page was loading.​

The completed installation of ISPConfig didn't report any problems : -

Can anyone assist??

 

did you open / forward port 81 on your firewall / router ?

 

No I didn't but I have now and it still doesn't work! I didn't have to open that port on my firewall/router and it worked previously. Besides, my server is in the DMZ of my LAN.

 

I did a scan on your IP for port 80 and 81.
Port 80 looks open. Port 81 does not!

Is ISPconfig running?
Try /etc/init.d/ispconfig_server start and see if you get an error.

 

The port is open - please try again.

This is the result : -

Code:

root@web:~# /etc/init.d/ispconfig_server start
-su: /etc/init.d/ispconfig_server: No such file or directory
root@web:~#

 

The connection was interrupted!

Result : -

Code:

root@web:~# ls /root/ispconfig
ls: /root/ispconfig: No such file or directory
root@web:~#

Result : -

root@web:~# ls /home/admispconfig

I did more than that Till. I actually reinstalled the Edgy-Eft then ISPConfig and got the error message as described at http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9240 & did as suggested there too. The installation of the Edgy-Eft was successful.

I then installed ISPConfig and that too worked. I got the ISPConfig interface in my web browser using the https: connection from my windows machine. By the time I had finished I was sooooo tired so I book-marked the page then I shutdown my windows machine (not the server) and went to bed. I went to a friend's house the next day and showed them the ISPConfig login, etc from their machine and then switched their machine off.

Today I try and access the ISPConfig page via the bookmark and also by typing the address into my web browser and I get the same error message again. So I call my friend and ask him to access the page and he gets the same error message.

Code:

I run the commands you asked me to run before & the output is a little different. See below : -

Code:

root@web:~# ls /root/ispconfig
cronolog    httpd  openssl  scripts        sv
cronosplit  isp    php      standard_cgis  uninstall
root@web:~# ls /home/admispconfig
ispconfig  mailstats
root@web:~#

Do you have any ideas??

No errors!! I was asked for a password! What caused the server to stop then?

 

I've sorted it now.

Thank you very much.
