can not login to squirrelmail or ispconfig

[Al1937]

I finally got my DNS zone set up where I can get my server on the net.
BUT
I can't login to squirrelmail or ispconfig. I use my server log on ID and my server logon password or my sql password. Nothing works.
What should I be using? Please help.

Are you receiving an error message when you try login? Did you check the log files?

[Al1937]

No error message- just "invalid login"
Where are the log files?
I'll be gone rest of day, till tonight

Are there any errors in your mail log (in the /var/log/ directory)?

My "dig" results.
Are they correct or do I still have a DNS problem?

You're using a private IP address in your DNS records which means you can connect only from within your local network.

[Al1937]

Can you give me an example of how my DNS zones should be assigned for akbpro.com and server1?

[falko]

Just use your public IP address and create an A record for server1.

[Al1937]

I used this command to get my public IP address.
wget -q -O - checkip.dyndns.org|sed -e 's/.*Current IP Address: //' -e 's/<.*$//'
It returned 68.59.148.130
I set an A record to server1 to 68.59.148.130 where akbpro.com is hosted.
I gave up on Ubuntu 12.04 and re-installed Ubuntu 11.04
When ever I was asked to enter: Country,State,Organization,Department,Name, email address I entered my real data.
I made no changes to resolv.conf or to any bind files
