Unable to connect on port 8080

I'm trying to install ISPconfig 3 on my VPS running CentOS 7 x64. Followed exact steps from this article: https://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-centos-7-x86_64-nginx-dovecot-ispconfig-3
Everything goes without problems until I get to a point just after installing the ISPconfig, when I'm supposed to finalize the installation for roundcube by goint go myservername:8081/roundcubemail/installer - I get an error: ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT.
Same thing happens when trying to access the panel on port 8080. Moreover after running the panel installation I can no longer connect via ssh as root. I can still connect through a generated ssh session credentials (from VPS admin panel).

 

I've checked everything, there are no iptables entries, no firewall running.
However, in on of the threads I found that I should be able to start the ISP config server by running
/etc/init.d/ispconfig_server start, but there is no such file or directory on my server.

 

cat: htf_report.txt gives me 'No such file or directory'

 

Yes, I copied it exactly from the post.
In meantime I tried installing another panel and I got the same issue. It seems like it could be a problem with CentOS or my VPS, however it seems a bit weird as every time I did a clean reinstall.

 

hi i used ubuntu 14.04 but i am unable to access my ispconfig cpanel too

 

it keep saying this page not available


here is my website: https://www.kowhost.com:8080/

 

Did you open port 8080?

 

I type on terminal

sudo netstat -ntlp

port 8080 is listening

how do i open port 8080

 

when i go to my domain as kowhost.com it goes to apache default page but i cant get into ispconfig cpanel

 

Maybe it´s just a firewall-issue.

 

i using ubunut server 14.04 that is it a problem is it?

 

how to fix the firewall issue google does not seem to be very helpful?

thank you in advance

 

Did you enable a firewall on your serfer (afaik ufw is disable on default at 14.04) or is there a firewall in front of your server?

 

no i didnt enable it and there is no firewall in front of my server

 

And the output from netstat shows, that port 8080 is not bound to localhost (only)?
