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.
There is no such script in ispconfig as ispconfig is not a daemon, you mix up ispconfig 2 and 3 here. Please use the test script to test your system: https://www.howtoforge.com/community/threads/please-read-before-posting.58408/
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.
You should better use a easier Linux distribution like Debian or ubtuntu, centos is not that easy to handle for beginners. Thats why we alwaysrecommend to use Debian and not centos at ispconfig.org.
when i go to my domain as kowhost.com it goes to apache default page but i cant get into ispconfig cpanel
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?
