After Update Issue
 

Seems my websites still work, even the Proxy to mail server still works but, ispconfig on the panel server stopped working.

I did all the minor server updates of ispconfig first. then I did the panel server last (which hosts the ispconfig control panel).

The panel server is no longer responding. not on the https or http which I self created to the /var/www/ispconfig folder. I left everything default as it was on the update since I had made no changes initially except the original default port on the panel server which I changed from 8080 to 11000 (originally). But wit the update it was reset to 8080.

Please check the apache error.log. Moste likely a part of the fastcgi setup is missing.

Same issue here, and I can't access the CP anymore,

Forbidden

[Mon Feb 25 17:52:16 2013] [error] [client 10.0.0.103] client denied by server configuration: /var/www/

the error message and the log of the error,
It worked like a charm before the update...

This is the only other thing i found related to this error message.

I did some troubleshooting and figured out that when the update happened ISPConfig created a new virual host using port 8080 of the exact location I was using for port 80, which somehow conflicted, so I had to delete my custom port 80. given that, How can I make this work for me:

<VirtualHost ipaddress:443>
ServerName host1.domain.com
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPass / https://privateip:8080/
ProxyPassReverse / https://privateip:8080/

SSLProxyEngine on
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/server.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/server.key


Whenever I try to use port 443 on my webserver to forward proxy, the apache server gets an error:

Failed to start apache :

* Starting web server apache2
(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs
Action 'start' failed.

...fail!

Initially I had the control panel running on port 80. and it worked so I left it alone.

Well here is more info,
I get this after I made changes to the hostfile

Seems as if you have more then one Listen statement for port 80 in your apache configuration.

Please post the output of:

ls -la /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/lib/config.inc.php

the thing is, I am trying to use port 443. not 80...

The error message is about port 80, not 443. So there must be a duplicate Listen statement for port 80 somewhere which prevents apache to start.

root@pc:/# ls -la /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/lib/config.inc.php
-rw------- 1 ispconfig ispconfig 6671 Feb 25 12:58 /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/lib/config.inc.php
root@pc:/#

Thats ok.
