    You don't have a clue about configuring a server and you shouldn't do it if you dont know the basics.

    @Shortie I agree with me not having a clue as I am definitely not comfortable with server administration yet which is why I am trying to set up a small vps myself with the help of communities and forums like this one so I can learn it. The server I'm trying to set basic stuff on is just for learning purposes.

    However, I don't agree with "shouldn't do it if you don't know the basics." since everyone doesn't just start off knowing everything they touch a-z.

    Just from this thread and another one that I started here itself, I have learnt from @d00p about a lot of "basic stuff" on server administration which would have taken me forever to wrap my head around if I just stick to theoretically learning it or as you said, not do it in the first place.

    Thanks for telling me that IMAP is port 143 and not 25 btw. That is yet another thing I just found out from this thread which made me google it and understand it further.

    Cheers

  2. When I change the smtp_server from localhost to the FQDN (ssl://vps1.shillongserver.com), the test for SMTP fails again and return the following error:

    Trying to send email...
    SMTP send:  NOT OK(Connection failed: Failed to connect socket: fsockopen(): unable to connect to ssl://vps1.shillongserver.com:25 (Unknown error))

     

    And the IMAP test returns the following:

     

    Connecting to ssl://vps1.shillongserver.com...
    IMAP connect:  NOT OK(Login failed for test@customerdomain.com against vps1.shillongserver.com from 117.214.36.78. Could not connect to ssl://vps1.shillongserver.com:25: Unknown reason)

     

  3. I changed the default_host from `ssl://localhost` to `ssl://abc.domainname.com` (abc.domainname.com is the FQDN of the server) just now and rerun the test but the same error pops up. Do I need to change the smtp_server to the FQDN with ssl:// too or should the FQDN be specified just for the IMAP host?

     

    Also, I have ran `hostname -f` in the terminal to confirm the FQDN before updating the ssl:// with it.

  4. I have just extracted roundcube to /var/www/html/webmail as you said and then run the installer.

    In the Create Config section, I set the smtp port to 25 and set the smtp_server to localhost and the test for the SMTP config is working now.

    For IMAP, I set the default_host to ssl://localhost (added ssl:// for letsencrypt) and the default_port to 25 like in the SMTP section but the test for the IMAP config failed and return the following error:

    NOT OK(Login failed for test@abcxyz.com against localhost from 117.214.36.78. Could not connect to ssl://localhost:25: Unknown reason)

    What am I doing wrong now?

  5. @d00p I have tried adding the above code to the "Default vHost-settings for every domain container" in IP/ports for port 80 as well as adding it to the "Default vHost-settings" in Webserver settings as well as created a `roundcube.conf` file inside the `sites-available` folder and none of the above are working. By not working I mean, initializing the installer for roundcube and even though I get a green OK for everything, The send mail test keeps failing and returning a "Failed to connect socket" error. I have deleted the roundcube folder as well as remove the database for roundcube and it's user. I have also removed the above code from every place I added it too. I want to re-install it again but I'm not sure what to do first.

  6. Following the step-by-step guide for integrating roundcube with froxlor (but for debian) shown here: https://myridia.com/dev_posts/view/1876, I have done everything till stage 8 but I'm not sure what I have to do in stage 9 which says:

    Quote

    in froxlor>stystem>settings>webserversettings>
    add the following to the text box:


    Alias /roundcube /var/www/html/roundcubemail

    <Directory /var/www/html/roundcubemail/>
        Allow from all
        php_admin_value open_basedir none

        <IfModule mod_php5.c>
          php_admin_flag engine on
          php_value memory_limit 64M
          php_value upload_max_filesize 10M
        </IfModule>
    </Directory>

     

    Which textbox should I add the above? Shouldn't it be in a `.conf` file inside the `sites-available` folder?

    Also, I left the default value for the port number in the config file.

  7. Hello,

    I have installed the latest version of Froxlor (0.10.12) on my Ubuntu 18.04 server and after tweaking the settings and running the configuration, everything is working beautifully.

    However, I noticed that there are options for specifying URLs for PHPMyAdmin, WebMail and WebFTP within the Panel Settings section but I can't seem to figure out how to integrate the three with Froxlor.

    Right now, I want to integrate Roundcube as my server's webmail client and any recommended client for webftp, but I'm not so sure how to go about it? What changes should I make to my server or to my Froxlor settings?

    I have already run the configuration for FTP-Server(Proftpd), Mailserver(SMTP) as well as Mailserver(IMAP/POP3) and have set the "FTP Server" to Proftpd in the FTP Server settings section and the  "Type of the Mail Delivery Server" and "Type of the Mail Transfer Agent" to Dovecot and Postfix respectively in the Mailserver settings section.

    Regards.

  8. @d00p The reinstalled froxlor seems to work now. I most probably must have screwed up with the settings somewhere earlier. Thanks again for the help man!! I seem to have some problems with ftp now but I'll try to figure it out first and will post a new topic if I can't figure it out. Cheers.

  9. @d00p I think I might have messed up the settings somewhere when I installed froxlor. I'll try reinstalling it from scratch and follow the instructions you gave above. I think that should fix the issue if it really is a misconfigured setting that I did. I really appreciate your help man. Cheers!! I'll let you know if the new installation works or not in a while. Thanks again!

  10. Both "Enable Let's Encrypt for the froxlor vhost" and "Enable SSL-redirect for the froxlor vhost" are ticked in the Froxlor VirtualHost Settings section.

    I noticed an option "HTTP2 Support (enable HTTP2 support for ssl.)" in the Webserver settings section which is not checked however. Should I checked that too?

  11. I have removed the customer that I initially added as well as it's domain and then run the configuration for webserver and cron again.

    Then I ran the script you gave me earlier and got the following output:

    And the inaccessible froxlor login problem occurs again. I deleted all the froxlor files from the sites-enabled folder, restarted apache and tried again to run configuration followed by the script that you gave and yet again, the inaccessible froxlor login problem occurs.

  12. I have removed the froxlor files and restarted apache. I'm in the froxlor dashboard again and since there are no ssl certificates generated yet, in the SSL settings, should I leave the "Path to the SSL certificate" and "Path to the SSL Keyfile" paths empty or leave the current default values "/etc/apache2/apache2.pem" and "/etc/apache2/apache2.key" there as it is?

    With regards to point 1, the option "Enable SSL usage" in the SSL Settings section and the options "Enable Let's Encrypt for the froxlor vhost" and "Enable SSL-redirect for the froxlor vhost" in the Froxlor VirtualHost settings section are all ticked. Should I go ahead and rerun the configuration now?

  13. I did yes but that was before I added the port 443 to the list. Should I rerun the configuration for webserver again? And if yes, how do I get access the froxlor panel again since going to [ip-address]/froxlor/ or the domain name I added earlier just returns a "This site can’t be reached" error in the browser.

  14. Since the server is not really live or anything and I don't have any content on it yet, should I just reinstall LAMP as well as froxlor and add a self-signed/letsencrypt cert first before adding port 443 to the list or would it be a better idea to generate a cetificate now and rerun the above script again?

  15. @d00p Yes I am. I had a VPS server before using virtualmin and webmin but other than the initial installing part of it and tweaking a few settings for a couple of wordpress sites, I didn't really dabble with the server much. But I am trying to learn more about server management again now and wanted to go with Froxlor this time.

  16. The above script returned the following:

  17. Yes, the entry is port 80. I added another entry with port 443 and enabled SSL on it just now. I then restarted apache and the option for enabling LetSEncrypt as well as the option for SSL redirect in the Froxlor Virtualhost Settings are available now and I checked both of them and saved. I then restarted apache again but for some weird reason, I can't open [ip-address]/froxlor/ nor the domain name I added earlier anymore in my browser. I just get a "This site can’t be reached" error in chrome. 

  18. Hello @d00p

    How should I go about it enabling vhost container for the froxlor SSL IP/port? What I have done so far is just added SSH keys to my VPS, install LAMP stack with the help of a step-by-step guide from the digitalocean community site along with the help of the official wiki (tarball approach) for installing Froxlor.

    Regards

  19. Hello,

    I have just installed the latest version (0.10.12) of Froxlor on my Ubuntu 18.04 VPS (Apache 2.4.29) and just trying to figure out how to adjust the settings before configuring Froxlor.

    The hurdle I'm facing right now while navigating the settings is with regards to the Froxlor VirtualHost settings where I want to enable LetsEncrypt but most of the options in this section of the settings is marked as "Option not available due to other settings." [Screenshot attached below] even though I have selected the "Enable SSL usage" and "Enable Let's Encrypt" in the SSL Settings section.

    What should I do?
