ISPConfig has stopped responding on port 81

[Andesh]

When I try to go to the admin area I get the following error:

Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.sugarpacksolutions.net:81.

Also if I go to the internal IP I get the same message.

What could be wrong?

what does a
netstat -tap show? Is sth. listening on port 81?
Have you tried to stop/start the ispconfig_server?

The nestat -tap showed that nothing was listening on port 81.
I thought I restarted ISPConfig since I rebooted the the machine itself.

but a "sudo /etc/init.d/ispconfig_server restart" got it all up and running again. Many thanks!
Problem solved!

To avoid that for further reboots you could symlink the initscript in you runlevels startupdir (e.g. /etc/rc3.d/ for runlevel 3 std.)
