Couldn't connect to web interface
« on: January 09, 2009, 12:41:14 am »
Hi All,

I've just did eBox fresh installation last night and have been unable to connect to the web interface at all. I've tried the following (whereby 111.111.111.111 is the ip address, not the actual one just for simplicity sake):

https://111.111.111.111
https://111.111.111.111/eBox
https://111.111.111.111:443/
https://111.111.111.111:443/eBox

Funnily enough, I was able to just go to http://111.111.111.111 and got "It works" text, which means normal connection to the web server is working. I know this should be something basic that might just be overlooked :P Thank you in advance.

Go to the host terminal and check if there is any service listening in 443 port. If not, try to start eBox Web UI by running this command:

Code: [Select]
$ sudo /etc/init.d/ebox apache restart

Best regards,
My secret is my silence...

Hi Sixstone,

Thank you for the quick reply, apparently there was something wrong with ebox's initial installation. I decided to reinstall it and it works. I am happy now.
