[flourishing]

i create a hostplaning ---create a client-----create site
also i create a user named test password test .

but i can't login ftp use this name from web-ftp neither ftp client.

any advices?

Did you create that user on the tab "User & Email"? Normally these users begin with web<id>_. Users you create there can login with FTP (if you've checked "FTP Access" on the "Basis" tab).
Don't mix this up with ISPConfig users (resellers, customers). They can only login to ISPConfig.

If you use an email client such as Outlook Express or Thunderbird, the login details are the same as for FTP, but you have to make sure that you enable something like "Server requires authentication." in your email client.
In the ISPConfig webmail, you have to take the email address instead of the username. The password is the same.

the second question :

the system i already installed apache2 and after ispconfig installed . i have two apache running . but the first apache can't prase php files any longer .why ?
the vhosts runing on which apache ?? should i stop the fisrt apache instance?

[till]

and i tried to login webmail use username "test@abc.com" and password "test"

The username is: web2_test


the second question :

the system i already installed apache2 and after ispconfig installed . i have two apache running .

One apache is for the controlpanel, the other for your websites.

but the first apache can't prase php files any longer .why ?

Because ISPConfig has to disable it globally. Create a new website in ISPConfig and check the "PHP" checkbox and you will be able to run php scripts in this website again.


the vhosts runing on which apache ??

On your main apache on port 80.

should i stop the fisrt apache instance?

No

You have to send an email first to test@abc.com so that the mailbox is created. Only after it has been created will you be able to login to webmail (with test@abc.com and the password test).
For Outlook Express the username is web2_test, the password again is test.
