the main files are as i understand located inside /root/ispconfig/ is it possible for the user to specify this information ? ./setup --prefix=/my_installation/directory/myISPinstallation regards / Daniel.
No, this won't work. It has to be /root/ispconfig. You can change that, but then you have to change the sources of ISPConfig first...
/root??? Is /root the best place for ISPConfig to be installed to? Surely /usr/local would be best for it according to the FHS http://www.pathname.com/fhs/ with all configuration in /etc Obviously changing it wil break a lot of things, but something to consider for the next major release?
Youre right, /usr or /usr/local will be a better place, but this change is so big that nearly every line of code has to be reviewed. Maybe something for a 3.0 release.
