I am getting the following error: [ERROR] Exception occurred: ISPConfigOSException -> Installing packages failed. (/ispconfig.ai.php:15) I am hosting the installation on Digital Ocean and created the droplet with the Basic installation of Ubuntu 24.04 on a shared CPU. I am using the Premium AMD CPU option. I would like to use Apache 2. Thank you, Howard

Ok, so you have enough free space. Could you please post the entire installer output, not just this line? You can also find the installer log in the /root folder, which should show which packages could not be installed.

That's the relevant line; it's capped, so we do not have the full list of packages here that fail to install. So you are currently having an issue where the apt software manager from Ubuntu is unable to install packages on your server. Please use the cat command to display the log file and then copy the complete line, so we can see which packages are present. Convert it to an apt command so you can run it to determine why apt is unable to install Ubuntu base packages. Most likely your provider disabled some base repositories or something similar that prevents apt from working.

By adding the head command, you just showed the first rows, which do not contain the information we need. Please use just cat: cat setup-20251219173624.log and then post the last 10 - 20 lines. Then the line I'm interested in the most is the one I cited in post #6, as it will show the packages that failed to install, and that's what we need to know to solve the problem.
