Cannot access server

[ubutux]

I have a (E-Smith) linux firewall gateway server running on my network at present . i want to get this new server up and running and transfer my sites etc to the new server and have a seperate firewall box protecting my network .I followed the ispconfig 5.10 breezy badger instructions and The install process went ok with no errors .I cant access ispconfig using the installed ip https://192.168.2.20:81 i get access denied . when i try http://192.168.2.20 i get a directory listing not the default apache page.Any help would be greatly apreciated.

Can you post the output of

iptables -L

on your Ubuntu server?
Does your firewall server allow requests on port 81?

Im trying to setup and test ispconfig on a server that is on the internal network behind the firewall ,shouldnt i be able to connect directly to the server.
thanks for help
here is the output for 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

Ok, the firewall on your Ubuntu system is down so that's no the problem.

Do you try to connect from within the same network or from outside?

im trying to acess the ubuntu server from within the same network.

Hm, I guess that either it's your desktop firewall that's blocking you, or ISPConfig didn't start on your Ubuntu server.

Try

/etc/init.d/ispconfig_server restart

to start it (again).

ispconfig was running and it restarted without error after the command.the ubuntu server connects to my internal network via a wireless nic ,which is working ok i can update the server etc using apt and i connect to the ubuntu server via ssh,so i gather this shouldnt be a problem .any other ideas that may be causing this challange i have .
cheers

Do you have this problem only on one workstation or on all? Did you try to disable your firewall for a short moment on your workstation in order to connect to port 81?

im having the same problem from all workstations ,i tried after shutting down the personal firewalls as well ,still access denied .Any other ideas?
thanks
