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.

If there's any installation error, please report in this forum so that we can fix it and eventually you get a more stable and solid iRedMail installer.

1) Try accessing it with server IP instead of domain name.
2) Any error in Apache log file?
