Really funny that you want to run your own server without willing to spend half an hour to install it properly. Good luck with using webmin, you will spend a lot more time in webmin for tasks that take a single click in ispconfig and webmin requires a good linux server knowledge to use it. But you will see it when you try to setup everything in webmin properly and securely bye
hi till ok i will give one more go from a fresh install. i notice the manual and the onscreen have different setups what would recommend to follow. Many thanks Richard C
We have different guides for each Linux Distribution and version. The ISPConfig manual contains a multiserver and cluseter guide for Debian, but the main ppurpose of the manual is to provide a guide on how to use ispconfig and not the installation as we would not be able to cover all instruvctions for alls supported distributions in one manual. You said that you use Ubuntu 12.04 on your server? Then this guide is the right one for you: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-12.04-lts-apache2-bind-dovecot-ispconfig-3 If your server has already a ubuntu minimal installed (e.g. by your hoster), then you can skip the first steps and start with chapter 8. If you use a windows desktop for your work, then download the free terminal program putty to connect to your server. This allows you to copy / paset the commands from the tutorial and you dont have to type them. Pasting in putty is done with the right mouse button. I highly recommend that you start with a clean setup from scratch as it might by that yor install attempts for webmin altered the system in a way that will prevent ispconfig from working properly later.
hi till thanks for the support which i am in desperate need of. the base system is hp ml350 g5 server and i have loaded ubuntu 12.04 server with nothing else. I am following the surgestered text and i will see how we go. again many thanks for your support Richard C
hi till well i made it all the way big thank you to you. now if i can solve the login problem i will be very happy chappy. login problem is in the install config page. Many thanks Richard C
I have recently update my script to have more features, and it has been combined to one command to install it now. It still supports debian and ubuntu. Please try it out and let me know what you think. I have tested it multiple times on quite a few droplets.
Really nice installer great work Have a few suggestions, repositories is us which was really slow for me durung install (Denmark) so maybe have some options for us, eu, etc repos and maybe select all options to start with so that the script can take care of all afterward itself? Also installed template and roundcube, template is really nice! but roundcube did not work, giving me: 404 Not Found nginx/1.4.6
What web address are you using to get to the roundcube install? It should be http://webmail.domain.com. Are you using that?
no was following the link in ispconfig was https://ip:8080/webmail tried a new install today and getting: using latest debian minimal version [FAIL] Starting MariaDB database server: mysqld . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . failed! invoke-rc.d: initscript mysql, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing mariadb-server-5.5 (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Setting up libhtml-template-perl (2.91-1) ... dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of mariadb-server: mariadb-server depends on mariadb-server-5.5 (= 5.5.36+maria-1~wheezy); however: Package mariadb-server-5.5 is not configured yet. and keeps asking for new password for mariadb root and keep on failing to start mariadb something changed in the installer? Also, the installer should have an option to choose php 5.5 which is in dotdeb repo
Tried to install MariaDB on a new install and nothing else with: apt-get install python-software-properties apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 0xcbcb082a1bb943db add-apt-repository 'deb http://ftp.ddg.lth.se/mariadb/repo/5.5/debian wheezy main' apt-get update apt-get install mariadb-server and started with no problem so must be script?
It is hard for the script to be the issue when we are using the exact same commands. The only thing that I can guess is that the mirror went down. I'll change it out.
Ok, strange, tried to change mirrors and install, same result it installs but does not start and then the installer loops. tried mariadb without nothing else, started fine.
How much ram do you have on this system? I just ran the script on a Droplet, and I am not getting any errors there.
Hi, Anyone know of a working dedicated ubuntu version of the script, as i used the current version in 12.04 a few times but not all functions are working correctly, like mail etc? EDIT: the problem is with the script itself as for some reason it has the wrong repository, currently only works for 14.04
