About installing ISPConfig

[satimis]

Hi folks,


Ubuntu 7.04 server amd64
webmin
usermin


I need to install ISPConfig on the captioned mail server and could not find the package on repo NOR relevant tutorial on googling. Please advise whether it is not available on repo. I have to install it on;

http://www.ispconfig.org/

where can I find its installation manual?


The necessity installing ISPConfig is to follow;

http://www.howtoforge.com/roundcube_webmail_ispconfig


their steps to make roundcube to work. I have it running here but can't make it to work.


TIA

If you are running webmin then you cannot install ispconfig. They perform the same task which is system administration. You should pick one or the other.

The ispconfig installation manual can be found here:

Thanks for your advice.

Webmin is running here. It can be evoked with;

https://hostname:10000

and login as root.


However I can't figure out how to perforem step-1 of:-

http://www.howtoforge.com/roundcube_webmail_ispconfig

on Webmin;

Step 1 - Create a website:

In ISPConfig, create a website via “New site” in the main menu.
On the tab called “Basis” use webmail for the hostname and
myhostingcompany.tld for the domain name. Enable MySQL and
PHP scripts for this website but disable PHP Safe Mode.

Any advice? TIA

You must create the website in ISPConfig and not webmin as a website setup with webmin will collide with ISPConfig as wpwood3 pointed out.

Hi till,


I'm a little bid confused here. If I understand wpwood3's advice correctly then I can't run both of them, ISPConfig and Webmin, concurrently. In such situation I won't install the former. But how can I create a website on Webmin to compile Step-1?

Yes, because both are doing the same configuration and this causes a conflict..

Please have a look at the tutorial that you linked above, it explains clearly that you have to use ISPConfig and not webmin to create the website.

I need webmin and usermin here particularly allowing users to change password remotely. In such a circumstance I have to googling another tutorial. Or switch to Squirrelmail.

Users can do this with ISPConfig as well trough the mailuser login:

https://www.domain.tld:81/mailuser/

All server not found. What is "tld" here?


I'm running Linus users here NOT virtuall users. Shall I make any change here and how? Thanks.

Besides does it need port 81? If YES, I have to check with ISP whether port 81 has been blocked. My ISP has blocked many ports. I have to calling them to uplift the port which I need.


Edit:

Checked with ISP, port 81 has NOT been blocked

Please make sure that www.domain.com is pointing to the correct server. You can check that with
dig www.domain.com

Also, what's the output of netstat -tap?

Hi falko,


I found the cause of the problem coming on iptables.


After running;

$ sudo iptables -F

https://localhost/mailuser

popup;
Not Found

The requested URL /mailuser was not found on this server.



https://satimis.com/mailuser

start with following warning popup;

"www.satimis.com". However, the security certificate
presented belongs to "localhost". It is possible though
unlikely, that someone may be trying to intercept your
communication with this website.


If you suspect the certicate shown does not belong to
"www.satimis.com". please cancel the connection and notify
the site administrator.

Clicking [OK] popup;

You can check that with

It must be https://satimis.com:81/mailuser or https://localhost:81/mailuser

[satimis]

It must be https://satimis.com:81/mailuser or https://localhost:81/mailuser
Both failed.

Warning;
Unable to connect

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at satimis.com:81.


OR ........ at localhost:81


Checked with ISP. Port 81 is open.

Please try http://satimis.com:81/mailuser or http://localhost:81/mailuser instead (http instead of https).
