Why install a new ispconfig server on an old Ubuntu version?!? Ubuntu 20.04 is end of life since May this year.
That's probably what is causing install failures for several packages.
At least for php packages, because that repository also dropped Ubuntu 20.04 support.

As ispconfig needs to be installed on an clean base system just reinstall your vps with the latest Ubuntu LTS version, 24.04.
Or upgrade your current version to 24.04. Though reinstalling will be easier and faster.

If you than install ispconfig again there shouldn't be any problems.

 

Ok yeah its showing like this in ssh, now which to upgrade 22.04 or 24.04

Code:

New release '22.04.5 LTS' available.
Run 'do-release-upgrade' to upgrade to it.

 

You can not upgrade 20.04 to 24.04.
Like remkoh wrote, it is easier to install Ubuntu 24.04 (instructions available on guides).
If you must use upgrade, you must first upgrade 20.04 to 22.04, and then 22.04 to 24.04.

 

Yes, exactly why I said that a new install would be easier and faster.
You cannot skip a version when upgrading.

 

Ok its working after a fresh setup Ubuntu 24.04 on X86_64/AMD64 the ISPConfig3 is able to install working.
But is there any 'File manager' option after adding a website, subdomain in ispconfig3, like cpanel cant find it anywhere like where to access the xyz.com or subdomain.xyz.com root folder

 

Confusion in 'Add a website', 'Add a subdomain' ispconfig.
when added a website eg. xyz.com, its not connecting shows error via Filezilla (host:xyz.com port:21)
then tried adding a eg. subdomain.xyz.com form asking for directory path instead creating a saperate folder root

There is already a hostname server1.xyz.com so is the new websites or subdomain links to hostname always?

 

Websites and ftp-folders are 2 separate things!

Websites, subdomains and aliasdomains are NOT linked to any hostname directly.
You choose the host on which they should be created and than set dns properly so they point to that host's ip address.

 

Ok understood now for every website, subbdomain, aliasdomain we need to setup DNS records, Ftp users

Now observed in Filezilla 3.69.5 latest version 'local system' doesnt show its file structure(C:/), somehow transfered a (10GB) .zip file to remote system, But FileZilla, WinSCP, CoreFTP doesnt have 'Extract' option on rightclick is there any other FTP client?

 

There are umpteen FTP clients, but it may be none of them have extract on the remote host function.
Unpack on your workstation and then transfer the unpacked directories.
But what I do is copy the .zip to the server and then log in with SSH and unpack on the command line. Copying can be done with SCP program, so using FTP is not needed.
Ubuntu has unzip command, if it is not already installed install with

Code:

apt install unzip
