ISPConfig not broadcasting on :81?

[gdog05]

Hey guys,

I really only get time to work on this server on the weekend, and last weekend it was working great. I went to access the ISPConfig control panel today, and there is not a page set at https://www.mysite.com:81/. I could access it fine last weekend, so I rebooted, etc. My sites are live, FTP access is live, just not ISPConfig control panel. Is there anything I can do in Terminal to find out if there's a problem? Thanks

Hi.

Try to run

# /etc/init.d/ispconfig_server start


and check in the browser again. Then if it's working, it means that the startup scripts are not installed properly in which case you'll have to enable the startup scripts by doing

# update-rc.d -f ispconfig_server remove
# update-rc.d ispconfig_server defaults


Hope it helps.

Thanks for that. It didn't work, but that is a good bit of info. It is still not showing up, I have checked my address many, many times to make sure I'm not using http instead of https, etc. This isn't the first time this has happened to me, it did it in a previous build as well. Any other suggestions are most welcome.

Please post the output of:

netstat -tap

i have the same problem. after i start ispconfig_server the login works for me. Seems that he don't start the ispconfig_server at boot up.

i tryed the update code but the following error appears:
web1:/etc/init.d # update-rc.d -f ispconfig_server remove
-bash: update-rc.d: command not found

anyone knows how i can enable the startup script for ispserver? i use suse 10.1 with ispconfig.

The command to start ISPConfig in SuSe at boot time is:

chkconfig --add ispconfig_server

Hey guys,

I've messed around with this for a while now, and I haven't figured anything out yet. Does anyone have any ideas based on my netstat -tap?

according to your netstat output, the ISPConfig httpd server is not running. Do you get an error when you run:

/etc/init.d/ispconfig_server start

Does it work again after you executed this command?

[gdog05]

That worked great, thank you. Do I need to modify something to get ISPConfig to start at boot in Ubuntu?

[till]

Normally ISPConfig is configured automatically to start at boot time. To add it manually to the boot process, please run:

update-rc.d ispconfig_server defaults

[gdog05]

update-rc.d ispconfig_server defaults did not work. It says: "System startup links for /etc/init.d/ispconfig_server already exist."

I do get a password dialog "Some of your provate key files are encrypted for security reasons." when I run: /etc/init.d/ispconfig_server start

Is that normal? Do I have to modify the ispconfig_server file with the password to have it start automatically? Thanks

You did encrypt your ssl certificates during ISPConfig installation. In the installation manual you find a notice to not encrypt the certificates during setup. You will have to create new certificates that where not encrypted:

stoopid n00b brain. I'm getting a new one, I promise. I see where I made the mistake. Thanks for pointing that out.
