Hello all, Working on getting my new server up and running from the instructions listed on How to forges pages for the perfect server. I have gotten through most the instruction without issues, however i have hit a road bump and cannot continue forward with it until I can get this working: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-se...ispconfig-3-p4 I am stuck at section 14.1 where it asks you to log into the sever from a web page. It states that you should be able to log into the server like this: The ISPConfig apps vhost on port 8081 for nginx comes with a phpMyAdmin configuration, so you can use http://server1.example.com:8081/phpmyadmin or http://server1.example.com:8081/phpMyAdmin to access phpMyAdmin. How ever I am unable to get this to happen. It it because I am not on the machine? (This is a terminal based server we access remotely). Or is there some other issue perhaps. I am new at this sort of configuration so I have no idea where to even start troubleshooting this issue. I would appreciate any help that can be given. PHPmyadmin config file below. The one thing I did notice is that there is no PmaAbsoluteUri line to call out the server address. No where in the how to does it state to configure this though, so I'm not sure if that is relevant.

if you get an 403 error "Acces forbidden" , then you need to edit phpmyadmin.conf or where the configuration for phpmyadmin is stored and check the allow/deny rules also check the log files under /var/log/ , i don't know what's the name of the nginx log file
n0 403 There is not a 403 error message regarding access being denied. It's simply a 404 error : Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to 192.168.1.12:8081 This is for both address schemes it gives. *Note, this is a clean install, no extra packages installed Ubuntu 12.10 Looking under /etc/var/nginx access.log and error.log are both blank.
nginx Checked and nginx had not started so I started it using Code: service nginx start and received confirmation that the service started Code: Starting nginx: nginx I then attempted to verify the firewall question since I am internal the network my firewall box wouldn't interfere so I know it's not external to the system. Looking up if Ubuntu 12.10 comes with it's own firewall I see that the ufw is a default package so I ran the command Code: service ufw stop and received the notification Code: ufw stop/waiting ' However I had previously run the command Code: service --status-all and in the script listing nginx had shown a [+] next to it indicating it had not yet started, but was available (I believe, looking over the man pages there wasn't any real indication of what the [+][-][?] stood for). However the ufw service showed a [?] next to it, which I believe indicates a service that has not yet been configured that is available. Regardless I did attempt to reconnect using the commands as before using both http:// and https:// (ser ver.com:8081etc) and (ipforserver:8081etc) and neither connected up, still same error, the HTTPS gave me a different error, but was still consistent with the previous error.
