Please change default shell to bash. Dash is incompatible.

Hi,
I bought ispc3-migration-tool-2_2_5.tar.gz and just copied the installation to one of my oldest servers (Debian Squeeze. You dont want to know how old the oldest server is, which I "inhererited"). Problem:
cat /etc/passwd
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
Looks very much like root has bash as his default shell. I am logged in as root via ssh.
./migrate --help
Please change default shell to bash. Dash is incompatible.
/bin/bash is GNU Bash and an executable binary, not a symlink to /bin/dash. There is a symlink from /bin/sh to /bin/dash. Of course I could simply change the symlink but I would like to have confirmation from someone more knowledgeable about ISPConfig that I am not going to break the ISPConfig installation (also ancient) on this server by doing so.

Yours sincerely
Stefan

 

I have the same problem.
Both servers use acme.sh
When i execute the command dpkg-reconfigure dash, i didnt get dialog to choose no
Thanks

 

Check the available Shells:

Code:

cat /etc/shells

Check the current Shell:

Code:

echo $SHELL

Set it to bash:

Code:

chsh -s /bin/bash

 

That will work too but i guess chsh is just a wrapper with some failsafes to automatically change the symlinks so you cancle out user error anyways

 

The system is Debian 12
I found this solution

Change to Bash
Code:
sudo ln -sf /bin/bash /bin/sh
Revert to to Dash
Code:
sudo ln -sf /bin/dash /bin/sh

Thanks

 

If i want to transfer only emails i choose
--only-mail=<domain.com>
My question is,
when i execute the command what i must choose dry or migrate ?

 

Dry means it just shows what it is going to do but not acutually doing it. migrate means it will perform the tasks and does the actual migration. So usually you first do a dry run, check if everything seems good to you and if thats the case then a migrate
