Hello all, Want to say thanks very much for the great How-To's, I am however having an issue. I am unable to open the ISPConfig in the web. I have tried several things I have read on the forums here. (and I have removed my actual domain name and replaced with mydomain just for posting purposes) At first I read someone elses post that that had to run /etc/init.d/ispconfig_server start to get working, I did as well and it had asked me for my passphrase, enter it in, seemed to start up, but still unable to connect to the web interface. If I use http://mydomain.net:81 or http://www.mydomain.net:81 it says: Code: Bad Request Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. Reason: You're speaking plain HTTP to an SSL-enabled server port. Instead use the HTTPS scheme to access this URL, please. Hint: https://mydomain.net:81/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Apache/1.3.33 Server at mydomain.net Port 81 But when I use https://mydomain.net:81 or https://www.mydomain.net:81 it says: Code: The page cannot be displayed The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings. Here is my netstat -tap Code: login as: root [email protected]'s password: Last login: Thu Oct 6 04:57:48 2005 [root@server ~]# /etc/init.d/ispconfig_server start Starting ISPConfig system...

Code: Could not establish an encrypted connection because certificate presented by localhost is invalid or corrupted. Error Code: -8182 Another strange thing is if I visit my normal domain using http:// on IE I get the default page saying bleh bleh, server installed ect.. With info on apache and mandriva, ect.. But... If I visit it using FireFox, it shows the site in text, including the html tags. Not even parsing the site or something? I tried via Firefox 1.06 and 1.07 on both Windows XP and Linux. My normal http:// domain still works however in IE Hope someone can help me
Don't know what's going on on your system. Maybe it helps if you uninstall ISPConfig (run /root/ispconfig/uninstall) and then install ISPConfig again, but this time you should choose http instead of https in the installer; also have a look at http://www.ispconfig.org/manual_installation.htm. It says:
I will give a reinstall a go, and choose http this time around, kinda weird tho, I had tried (before reinstalling my os) using webmin and https worked fine with it, of course that was on Xandros, so not sure if that made any difference. But Xandros atm seems a bit "slow" compared to Mandriva and Fedora Core 4. Oh quick question, the LAN IP of my box is 192.168.0.4 so that is the IP I would put for "Please enter the IP address of the ISPConfig web: E.g. 192.168.0.1" aye? Or it need to be 192.168.0.1 (gateway of router) ? Anyways, I am going to get to work on that, thanks much for the reply and I will post back and let you know how it went. // Regards, neu2linux
I have a similar problem, I've searched the forums for an answer to it and haven't been able to figure it out. I'm running it on a dedicated machine running FC4. The installation finished and it is running however I cannot access it through the web. My installation should be https://mydomain:81 and it doesn't work. From what I've read already it could be a host problem? So far I havent been able to figure it out. If someone could point me in the right direction or give me an example of what the host file should be (and works) would be great. Mine looks like: Code: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx www.mydomain.com mydomain.com Any ideas?
No, I cannot. I've used the IP, https/http, domain, with and without www, and with the default port 81. I get a "Page cannot be displayed" error.
Are you trying to login over the internet or on a local network? Maybe port 81 is blocked by your router / firewall or internet service provider.
I already tried restarting with /etc/init.d/ispconfig_server restart before I came here. There is no firewall or anything blocking port 81. It is from the internet and iptables is off.
Maybe your ISP blocks port 81? If you want you can write me a private message with the IP address and URL of your ISPConfig system, and I'll try to access it.
OK I've reinstalled, just so that I could varify there were no errors during the installation process. It still shows page cannot be displayed when I goto https://mysite.com:81/ any ideas? When I searched these forums I did find other people with the same problem but no solutions for it. I hope to get it working soon.
Most linux distributions install a firewall during installation. Have you removed this firewall? ISPConfig has its own Firewall script.
Yes, I have. It does run, however web access doesn't work for some reason. The hostname provided in the installation has to be the same as the machine's hostname, correct? The hostname is different from the domain I want to use for ISPConfig, that's OK right? Correct me if I'm wrong.
Can you be more specific, where do I find our more about this... I have www.domain.com, domain.com pointing to the machines IP. Do I need to set the hostname to www? And shouldn't I be able to access it using the IP:81 too?
I just reinstalled again except trying with http insted of https. I still cannot get ISPConfig web to work. http://domain.com:81 gives me: Code: Bad Request Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. Reason: You're speaking plain HTTP to an SSL-enabled server port. Instead use the HTTPS scheme to access this URL, please. Hint: https://domain.com:81/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Apache/1.3.33 Server at domain.com Port 81 This is what I got this time leaving host name blank and entering (my domain) domain.com as the domain. Reading this: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=839 Should I have put in the IP or would it have not mattered?
That's what I thought. No, I still get page cannot be displayed or bad request going to https://domain.com:81 or https://ipaddress:81
