extreamly newb question....

[gatsu]

Okay so i've been using linux for about a week now, gone through ~5 distros for desktop. And ubuntu server. I followed the instruction for the perfect ubuntu server 6.10. Everything is installed. Now how do i access ispconfig? i try the computers ip and it doesn't work.

I have no idea what i did wrong, or am doing wrong. tried http and https. Help Please.

spent the last 28 hours trying to set up this server.

What error do you get when trying to access ispconfig, and are you trying to access it from an other computer that is on your lan?

[gatsu]

yes i can get in the server machine through putty. But cant access ispconfig any which way....

[falko]

What's the output of netstat -tap and iptables -L?

Also..

Are you accessing the server with putty by IP, or by domainname?
What do you see when you do http://IP_of_server or https://IP_of_server

[gatsu]

iptables -L

root@server1:/home/administrator# iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

netstat -tap

You can not access websites in ISPConfig trough the IP address, you must use the domain name instead. If you want to access the controlpanel, you must use port 81 and not port 80.

[sjau]

You can setup domains even if you don't own it or if they are in a local network or haven't been propagated yet (in case you have a remote server).

All you need to do is change your hosts file. Have a look at this thread here:

[gatsu]

okay this is what my host file looks like now:



127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.1.102 server1.pitbullgames.net server1
192.168.1.102 pitbullgames.net
192.168.1.102 www.pitbullgames.net
192.168.1.102 sub.pitbullgames.net

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

[till]

Is this the hosts file from your server or your workstation?

[gatsu]

its from the server

[till]

Sjau was talking about the hosts file of your workstation. Even windows has this file.

[gatsu]

how do i check it on windows?

[sjau]

In this thread I posted a link that will even tell you where the file is to be found in windows :)

so just add the ips and according domains there... you may need to reboot windows afterwards for the hosts file to become in effect...

[gatsu]

done, so now when i go to pbe.net its exactly the same as if i type the ipaddress. If i add :81 for the port still cant get into ispconfig...

[falko]

What's the output of netstat -tap? Do you use https or http to connect to ISPConfig? Do you get any errors in your browser when you try to connect to ISPConfig? Try Firefox, it has more descriptive error messages than Internet Explorer.

[gatsu]

i wasnt sure so i tried both here are the screen shots ... both the same error and is always in firefox.

Have you opened port 81 in your firewalla nd if you are behind a router, have you forwarded port 81 from your router to your server?

Please post the output of the command netstat, that falko requested above.
