Exception occurred: ISPConfigOSException -> Installing packages failed. (/ispconfig.ai.php:15)

Hi,
I'm trying to install ISPConfig using the autoinstaller on a fresh debian bookworm minimal. Using the "standard" command:

Code:

wget -O - https://get.ispconfig.org | sh -s -- --use-ftp-ports=40110-40210 --unattended-upgrades

I get:

Any Ideas, what's going wrong here?

How was Debian installed on this host? Did you install yourself, how? Did the provide offer a ready image of Debian and you used that?

 

hmmm.. something is weird on this machine. Installation went smooth, but the initial configuration failed:

Code:

>> Initial configuration

Operating System: Debian 12.0 (Bookworm) or compatible

    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.

It's a Netcup KVM root server (hope, it's ok, to name the hoster, if not, pls. delete) and it has been set up using one of the images they provide in their control panel. I've been using this for a long time now and I have another five servers that have been set up this way, and that run ISPConfig. Never had any problems but none of them uses the bookworm image though...
The image I used is the bookworm minimal image that has only ssh pre-installed

 

I already did this for this run because I wanted to have a clean installation for this. So what I did, was re-install the system from the image, as described in my previous post, removed the immutable bit from resolv.conf and then started the autoinstaller process using the turorial here:
https://www.howtoforge.com/ispconfig-autoinstall-debian-ubuntu/

 

Is the configuration in /etc/network/interfaces for the main interface set to dhcp by any chance?

 

the passwordless login with

Code:

mysql -u root

does not work, but it works, when I type

Code:

mysql -uroot

(without the blank after the -u)

 

yes

 

That makes no sense as it is the same command. the -u flag ignores any spaces between the flag and the string provided. Does not matter if there is 1 space, 100 spaces or even none.

Than the assuption by till seem most likely to be true.

 

you are right, must have been a typo...
anyway: I set up a new mysql user with all privileges and assigned it in the ISPConfig installation. Everything seems to work fine.
Thank you very much and have a great weekend
