To stop the firewall execute this command on the shell:

Also when I try to

vim /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/lib/config.inc.php

I get this warning

E325: ATTENTION
Found a swap file by the name "/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/lib/.config.inc.php.swp"
          owned by: root   dated: Sat Nov 12 14:22:09 2005

      NEWER than swap file!

(1) Another program may be editing the same file.
    If this is the case, be careful not to end up with two
    different instances of the same file when making changes.
    Quit, or continue with caution.

(2) An edit session for this file crashed.
    If this is the case, use ":recover" or "vim -r /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/lib/config.inc.php"
    to recover the changes (see ":help recovery").
    If you did this already, delete the swap file "/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/lib/.config.inc.php.swp"
    to avoid this message.

Swap file "/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/lib/.config.inc.php.swp" already exists!

Is ISPConfig causing this warning? Should I stop ISPConfig before editing this file?

Thsi error is not caused by ISPCOnfig. It seems that you have opened the file with e.g. vim and vim was not closed correctly. To get rid of the error, execute:

rm -f /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/lib/.config.inc.php.swp
