A Couple of Questions..

Hi

I have ISPConfig 2.0.9 and it works great though i have a few problems you might help me with:

1. My clients are trying to log into the adminsitration page: ie http://www.theirdomain.com:81 ; the login page loads but the user cannot access the system. The password and username are refused each time! how can i solve this?

2. Another problem is from the WebMail Client (UebiMiau). When the client/user tries to access the webmail via http://www.theirdomain.com:81/webamil the domain is resolved to the internal ip of the server (ie: http://192.168.10.126:81/webmail) and obviously nothing happens!


Thanks for now!

Are you sure you didn't mix up system users and ISPConfig users? System users have names like web<id>_<name>, whereas ISPConfig users usually have other usernames. You create ISPConfig users on the "Login Data" tab of the "ISP Client" form: http://www.ispconfig.org/downloads/manual_en/manual_reseller_en_src.htm#3_2_1

2. Another problem is from the WebMail Client (UebiMiau). When the client/user tries to access the webmail via http://www.theirdomain.com:81/webamil the domain is resolved to the internal ip of the server (ie: http://192.168.10.126:81/webmail) and obviously nothing happens!

Make sure your users use the same URL that is in /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/lib/config.inc.php.

Hi Falko,

Thanks for the information, worked great!

Just one question..why is there so many usernames and passwords..i mean if i set a user as being the adminsitrator why cannot he/she administer at least his own site?


Thanks once again for valuable time

Just one question..why is there so many usernames and passwords..i mean if i set a user as being the adminsitrator why cannot he/she administer at least his own site?

Only linux system users can administer the site, because an Administrator needs FTP access. ISPConfig clients are simply a record in the database and Linux can not authenticate to them and thye do not have system UID's and GID's and quota.

Because a client can have more than one web site. That's why there is a client login so that the client can manage all of his web sites.
If you only needed the login of a web site administrator, then each administrator would be able to manage completely different web sites that belong to the same client.
