Following will be a few questions for primary configuration so be careful.
Default values are in [brackets] and can be accepted with <ENTER>.
Tap in "quit" (without the quotes) to stop the installer.

Also i think that the following is interesting

--

[root@localhost /]# mysql -u root -p

mysql> SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES LIKE 'socket';
+---------------+-----------------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+---------------+-----------------+
| socket | /tmp/mysql.sock |
+---------------+-----------------+

Thank you

 

check out

this link

 

You can try to create a symlink from /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock to /tmp/mysql.sock, or you change the location of the MySQL socket in your my.cnf.

 

Thank you both guys No im getting the following message

ERROR: Stopped: Database already contains some tables.

Also i want to mention that i need ispconfig to control my webserver (lamp) , mainly apache's virtual hosts , at least for now.

 

I deleted the database and i managed to install ispconfig

here is the output

Sth went wrong... Any idea ?

 

I use fedora 11 (kernel linux 2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i585), not the server edition. That's why i didn't followed the guide word by word.

 

Thank you. So i should forget ispconfig ...?

 

I know CentOS . I tried it first as server but i faced a lot of problems , now im ok with fedora , everything works great !!!

Thank you till
