Setting up a new server - Suse 11.1

Did you copy [...] from my tutorials? This is just a placeholder indicating that there's some other content in the file that is not shown in my tutorials. Please remove it from your configuration files.

 

Looks as though i did follow too much to the letter - my apologies, i have removed [....] the said

and carried out the following, results below:-

xxxxx:~ # telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 xxxxxx.example.com ESMTP Postfix

quit
221 2.0.0 Bye
Connection closed by foreign host.
Only got as far as the this

220 xxxxxx.example.com ESMTP Postfix

and it just seems to hang there - so i exited
Any thing more that i can do?

 

Progressing on from the above:-

I have carried out the following and have ran in to this error, is it ok? I have checked the line one issue but did not see anything that might result in an error.

xxxxxx:/tmp # /etc/init.d/proftpd start
/etc/init.d/proftpd: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `c'
/etc/init.d/proftpd: line 1: `opyright (c) 2000-2001 SuSE GmbH Nuernberg, Germany.'

It looks as if there is an issue or something may have been broken.

xxxxxx:/tmp # /etc/init.d/proftpd restart
/etc/init.d/proftpd: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `c'
/etc/init.d/proftpd: line 1: `opyright (c) 2000-2001 SuSE GmbH Nuernberg, Germany.'

Thanks

 

This is where you have to enter

Code:

ehlo localhost

What's in /etc/init.d/proftpd?

 

Ok We have lift off it works
Thanks for that

I have ran the following commands, Results as requested:-

Hi Falko
Thanks i have now changed the first and second line as advised

However upon exit of vi the following messaged is shown:-
xxxxxx:~ # vi /etc/init.d/proftpd vi

I have progress to stage 17 of your post and ran into the following when installing ISPconfg can you help with this?
I have read the install docs.

English is Chosen 2
Do you want to continue with the installation? [y/n]y
Do you accept the licence? [y/n]y
1) standard
2) expert
Your Choice: 1
Checking for MTA...
/usr/sbin/postfix
OK

ISPConfig found the following MTA:
postfix
Is this correct? [y/n]y
Check ftp [y/n] y
STEP 0: Decide the signature algorithm used for certificates
The generated X.509 certificates can contain either
RSA or DSA based ingredients. Select the one you want to use.
Signature Algorithm ((R)SA or (D)SA) [R]:R
STEP 2: Generating X.509 certificate signing request for CA [ca.csr]
You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated
into your certificate request.
What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.
There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank
For some fields there will be a default value,
If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.
-----
1. Country Name (2 letter code) [XY]:UK
2. State or Province Name (full name) [Snake Desert]:.
3. Locality Name (eg, city) [Snake Town]:XXXXXX
4. Organization Name (eg, company) [Snake Oil, Ltd]:XX
5. Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) [Certificate Authority]:.
6. Common Name (eg, CA name) [Snake Oil CA]:.
7. Email Address (eg, name@FQDN) [[email protected]]:.
8. Certificate Validity (days) [365]:365
STEP 3: Generating X.509 certificate for CA signed by itself [ca.crt]
Certificate Version (1 or 3) [3]:3
STEP 5: Generating X.509 certificate signing request for SERVER [server.csr]
You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated
into your certificate request.
What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.
There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank
For some fields there will be a default value,
If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.

1. Country Name (2 letter code) [XY]:UK
2. State or Province Name (full name) [Snake Desert]:.
3. Locality Name (eg, city) [Snake Town]:LONDON
4. Organization Name (eg, company) [Snake Oil, Ltd]:JJA
5. Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) [Webserver Team]:.
6. Common Name (eg, FQDN) [www.snakeoil.dom]:.
7. Email Address (eg, name@fqdn) [[email protected]]:.
8. Certificate Validity (days) [365]:.

This is my issue if i have not made any mistakes before hand
Please enter your MySQL server:

What should be the correct response?

 

Sorry Falko

I have found the answer to my earlier post.

 

Ok i spoke too soon
No this is the wrong command - Can you help.
Error message recieved as follows:-

Please enter your MySQL server:[server name xxxxxx]
OK
Please enter your MySQL user:root
Please enter your MySQL password:
ERROR 1130 (00000): Host 'xxxxxx.example.com' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server
The provided MySQL password is wrong!

 

YES YES
Sorted at last ISPconfig installed
But there is always a but

I am unable to log into the GUI via web browser
not even ip address will work
Your help please.

 

You should've used localhost here.

Please try

Code:

/etc/init.d/ispconfig_server restart

What's the output of

Code:

netstat -tap

afterwards?

 

Reply to command as follows:-

At what point is is best to do an update download for the system or not ?
I assume once a decision is made on the domain name it is poss to make the relevant changes with little effort?
Thanks again.

 

Hi Falko

In addition to my earlier post i have encounter the following issue:-

Have a lot of fun...
xxxxxx:~ # /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/usr/bin/spamassassin
xxxxxx:~ # /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/usr/bin/spamassassin
^C
xxxxxx:~ # /home/admispconfig/ispconfig
-bash: /home/admispconfig/ispconfig: is a directory

the command seems to hang.

Update
I have now re-ran the ip adders after rebooting in the browser and was able to get an error reply.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/lib/config.inc.php on line 104

 

Hi Falko
carried out the following command :-

vi /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/lib/config.inc.php

and found and removed the following:
type'; // 'filter' = set PHP filters, 'addtype' = Set PHP addtype or 'both' = Set Filter + Addtype, suphp = SuPHP wrapper enabled, 'addhandler' = Set PHP AddHandler (nescessary for SuSE 10.2)

YES! YES! we have lift off
Access granted

Now all that is left is to set up a web page and upload it to test the system.

Any tips? - Don't forget this is new to me, but i am learning fast.
What are the prerequisites to install on the system?
Sorry for the trouble thus far and Thank you.

 

I hope you didn't mess up your system with all the stuff you did...
