I'm setting up iRedMail on a VPS at woothosting. The first install (clean VPS) failed when I tried to use Nginx; no problem, I reinstalled with Apache.
Upon my reinstall, I can't receive emails and I can't get into the webmail browser from a PC.
I have the following DNS settings (at Type Name Value TTL Actions
A @ 192.210.168.76 1/2 Hour
CNAME e email.lifeassetsllc.com 1 Hour
CNAME email email.lifeassetsllc.com 1 Hour
CNAME ftp @ 1 Hour
CNAME imap imap.secureserver.net 1 Hour
CNAME mail mail.lifeassetsllc.com 1 Hour
CNAME mobilemail mobilemail-v01.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net 1 Hour
CNAME pda mobilemail-v01.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net 1 Hour
CNAME pop pop.secureserver.net 1 Hour
CNAME smtp smtp.secureserver.net 1 Hour
CNAME webmail mail.lifeassetsllc.com 1 Hour
CNAME www @ 1 Hour
CNAME _domainconnect _domainconnect.gd.domaincontrol.com 1 Hour
MX @ mailstore1.secureserver.net (Priority: 10) 1 Hour
MX @ smtp.secureserver.net (Priority: 0) 1 Hour
NS @ ns47.domaincontrol.com 1 Hour
NS @ ns48.domaincontrol.com 1 Hour
TXT @ v=spf1 mx mx:lifeassetsllc.com -all 1 Hour).
Some of the settings are holdovers from their default settings - they would be hosting my email if I set up an email account (they support all my other current domains until i move them away).
So, I will have to replicate the correct DNS settings multiple times - this is my 'unused' domain, so setting it up by trial and error doesn't cost business (just time).
When I try to log into the lifeassetsllc.com 'website', I get a standard default apache page (no problem there); when I type https://lifeassetsllc.com/iredadmin I get ' 'ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED'.
What have I done wrong here? Don't be afraid to hurt my feelings, I'm sure it is something stupid. I killed the server and I'll do another clean install.
Thank you.
