After deploying the QuickWeb XEN OS template with ISPConfig 3 we recommend the following initial steps. Note that this is not a comprehensive guide to configuring ISPConfig but rather a minimal process for starting to work with your deployment.
Logging In To ISPConfig
The control panel can be accessed using http at port 8080.
The default user/password combination is admin:admin
Post Installation Steps
- Login to the control panel as 'admin' (password is also 'admin'). Change the admin password using the Tools page
- Change the mysql root password (highly recommended, the default password is blank).
- mysql -u root mysql
- mysql> UPDATE user SET Password=PASSWORD('YOURNEWPASSWORD') WHERE User='root';
- mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
- mysql> exit;
- insert your new password in /usr/local/ispconfig/server/lib/mysql_clientdb.conf
Installation Verification
- The installation of ISPConfig actually happens the first time you boot the template. This is desireable since the installer will have the proper hostname with which to configure the services and can generate unique certificates for your server. Please examine /root/ispconfig3_install.log to see a transcript of the installation. The last line should say "Installation completed."
- You can also login to mysql (see above) and do the following:
mysql> show databases;
The databases list should include dbispconfig and phpmyadmin - Finally, make sure the expected daemons are running (eg http, ftp, bind, courier, etc....)
[root@ispconfig3]$ lsof -i
