Connection Refused

[m u r]

I installed ISPConfig with Suse 9.2. The installation seemed to work fine, but when I tried http://www2.lcpm.net and https://www2.lcpm.net (I can't remember whether or not I made it secure during setup), it says the connection was refused. We tried using the internal and external IPs as well with no luck. Please help.

ISPConfig is running on port 81, so you have to use http://www2.lcpm.net:81 or https://www2.lcpm.net:81

[m u r]

That is when I get the error. Sorry for not writing that in the previous post. I have been directing it to port 81, and the connection is still refused.

Is ISPConfig running? Please post the output of

netstat -tap

and also of

iptables -L

(might also be a firewall issue).

The firewall's not the problem, but ISPConfig isn't running! Please start it:

/etc/init.d/ispconfig_server start

[m u r]

When I tried that, I got the following error:

www2:~/install_ispconfig # /etc/init.d/ispconfig_server start
bash: /etc/init.d/ispconfig_server: No such file or directory

I tried installing ISPConfig again and tried again. I still got the same error.

www2:~/install_ispconfig # netstat -tap

Then either ISPConfig is not installed (maybe you deleted it?), or you deleted /etc/init.d/ispconfig_server somehow.

However, this is /etc/init.d/ispconfig_server:

I started ISPConfig, but something is wrong. It is as though I never installed ISPConfig, but I have . . . twice.

www2:~ # /etc/init.d/ispconfig_server start

ISPConfig system is now up and running!

[falko]

It looks as if ISPConfig isn't installed. Please post the output of

ls -l /root/ispconfig

and

ls -l /home/admispconfig
