Logging in to isp config

[Jrdgames]

Hi,
I can't seem to reach the isp Config login page when I type my ip address in the address bar like so: http://192.168.x.x:81 or https://192.168.x.x:81 am I doing something wrong? If so, what?

I followed the guide on here for the perfect setup ubuntu (http://howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_ubuntu_5.10) and I don't know whats wrong with it.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Did you got any errors during installation? Please have a look in the install log: /var/log/ispconfig_install.log

Did you get errors when you execute:

/etc/init.d/ispconfig_server restart

Please post the output of:

netstat -tap

These look like they may be errors:

Fri Jan 27 13:33:43 EST 2006 - [ISPConfig] - Could not connect to db

Thars all I found in the install log.

On this command: /etc/init.d/ispconfig_server restart I get

bash: /etc/init.d/ispconfig_server: No such file or directory

netstat -tap Gives me the following:

Was this installation an update or a fresh install?

[Jrdgames]

this was a fresh install

[falko]

I guess a lot of things went wrong with your installation - did you try to install more than once?

Please run these commands:

rm -fr /root/ispconfig
rm -fr /home/admispconfig

Also delete the ISPConfig database, if it exists (have a look here: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1102 ).

Then unpack the ISPConfig tar.gz again and try another installation.

[Jrdgames]

thank you till and falko for your help so far,

yes I ran the instalation again because it said it stopped when I entered the mysql password wrong then on the second install atempt it didnt ask for any mysql information, and when I installed mysql it didnt ask me for a password so im trying to reset/change it I found some information on that here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/...rmissions.html but I am not able to follow it very easily.

I ran those commands and I didnt get any errors or messages.

I looked at that other thread but I need to reset the mysql password to continue.

All help is greatly appreciated.

Have a look at the mysqladmin command in this thread: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/sho...ght=mysqladmin

[Jrdgames]

this command: mysqladmin -u root password yourrootsqlpassword seems to require that you have a mysql password and this command: mysqladmin -u root -p<current_password> password <new_password> seems to be for resetting the password but you have to have a password to reset and on this page it says

If you have never set a root password for MySQL, the server does not require a password at all for connecting as root.

but in terminal if I leave the password blank it says it fails to connect:

mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO)'

is there any easier way to do it? or is there an interface that can be used instead of doing everything through terminal?

Sorry for not understanding this very good but im new to it.
thankyou for your help so far.

[falko]

If you set up MySQL for the first time, then you have the user root with an empty password. You can then run

mysqladmin -u root password yourrootsqlpassword

which will set root's password to yourrootsqlpassword.

If root already has a password, you must run

mysqladmin -u root -pcurrent_password password new_password

instead to set a new password for root where current_password is root's current password and new_password is root's new password.
