1)I have run the Apache installation script a few times with success, but I am wondering if there is a switch to load it with apache on a clean server? The very detailed server instructions are nice but a bit tiresome. 2) Do you all have a process with Dovecot and Roundcube authentication verification? I have dovecot listening, and the right DBMS links, but I cant trace a login from Roundcube all the way to the userdbms. If you have something we would appreciate it. 3) Qudos on the User Interface it looks nice.
ISPConfig have an automatic installation script for a complete server setup. Simply remove ISPConfig if you don't want to use it but sticking to it is the best in order to manage your server.
Your post is a bit unclear, but I think you want to install NGINX instead of Apache2 when using our official autoinstaller (https://git.ispconfig.org/ispconfig/ispconfig-autoinstaller) To see all options of the installer, run Code: curl https://get.ispconfig.org | sh -s -- --help There is a option to install NGINX instead of Apache2, I think it's --use-nginx but you can easily check with the above command.
Also as this post is in the non-ispconfig forum topics it adds context that you are not using ispconfig, though it sounds like maybe you're trying to install it .. definitely need some more clarity/info.
